I have a good lean background (over 15 years lean experience, IIE Lean and Six Sigma Blackbelt and other certifications, see my profile). What Lean Office Certification will best suit my need?

Gregory,

I would be keen to understand why you feel you need a certificate for Lean? You already have 15 years experience and with that comes practical examples and real benefits realised. My belief has always been that Sigma qualification is deemed necessary for some roles however with Lean it is experience of application of the principles and how adaptable you are to flex the tools etc.

I know there are several Lean certifications floating around but quite frankly I haven't seen any that make a distinction between factory floor vs. office. Doesn't really make sense to me to have them seperate because the principles and concepts are the same for both environments.
