The Lean Green Belt Certificate Program is a 5-credit hour certificate program housed in the Department of Engineering. A lean company views itself as a part of an extended value chain, focusing on the elimination of waste between the company and its suppliers and the company and its customers. Lean is a management philosophy derived mostly from the Toyota Production System (TPS). Upon completion of this certificate, a student will have developed a deep understanding of the principles of lean manufacturing and will be able to apply these principles in manufacturing or service organizations.

• Identify waste and propose ways to eliminate such waste; and
• Compute and apply measures related to lean processes.
