Advanced Lean is for business professionals who are interested in becoming skilled Lean practitioners and Kaizen team members. The course complements BMG University's two existing Lean training courses by adding project management skills and "deep dive" tools training on advanced Lean topics.

"Lean is an increasingly popular methodology for companies looking to optimize their processes because it is simple, cost-effective and can deliver almost immediate results," said David Silverstein, BMG's president and CEO. "Adding this course to our public training schedule allows BMG to grow alongside our clients with new ways to improve performance."

In the Advanced Lean classroom, participants will gain the skills they need to apply Lean practices at their workplace and to recognize how the work fits into the larger roadmap for Lean implementation. The training course combines lectures with exercises and simulations to give participants practice in applying Lean principles and experience to achieve results.

BMG's Public Advanced Lean class is designed for Six Sigma Master Black Belts, Black Belts, and Lean practitioners from both manufacturing and service-oriented environments. Participants must have prior Lean training or experience to attend.
