Earning Criteria
-
Students are trained and tested on their understanding and ability to apply the tools and techniques of all elements of the Lean FOCUS methodology. The course includes 10 lessons and 115+ quiz questions. Training is conducted online and uses a multi-media format that includes audio by Lean experts. The course is “self-paced” and can be accessed at any time – and – anywhere. On average, students complete the course in 46 hours.
-
At Acuity Institute, we recognize that not every individual has the opportunity to complete an actual Lean project while completing training; therefore, we have created a real world simulated project that takes students from the beginning to the end of a problem and solution. The simulation is designed to illustrate the entire business improvement effort through every phase of the Lean FOCUS methodology. Students complete 26 challenging exercises and 5 Tollgate Reviews.
-
Upon completing training, students will be required to achieve a passing mark of 80% or higher on the exam. The exam is intended to validate student proficiency with Lean tools and techniques.
