The Lean Certification Review Program, sponsored by AME, SME, and Shingo Prize, is an opportunity to incorporate significant training and development. Lean Certification will standardize practices within organizations, regardless of size or industry. Unlike other programs in the market today, Lean Certification is awarded based on experience, education, and mentoring - and it must be renewed.  The Bronze level is the first, followed by Silver and Gold, on the journey to complete expertise in knowledge and implementation of Lean.
