Overview
This industry-leading certification program is the result of an alliance between the Association for Manufacturing Excellence
(AME), Shingo Institute, and SME. These organizations partnered to create the Lean Certification program to set the globally
recognized standard for lean principles and practices. As a result, the Lean Certification program provides individuals,

workforce development. The standard assesses your lean knowledge (exam), the application of that knowledge (portfolio/
accomplishment record), and mentoring/coaching of others.
