We are dedicated to improving your organization.
The Lean Learning Center was founded in 2001 to address the gaps and barriers that are holding companies back from successful and sustainable lean transformation. In addition to the advanced curriculum, we’ve developed a learning environment designed specifically for adults, utilizing techniques that include discovery simulations, case studies, personal planning, and reflection – ultimately engaging people at a deep and personal level.
We bring our unique lean understanding to executives, managers, supervisors, change agents and front-line employees in creative ways. Our consulting and products help you with your lean transformation in ways beyond courses. As experts in the lean space – continuous improvement, process improvement, operational improvement – we become a trusted advisor to our clients.
We boast over 200 years of combined experience.
We value our relationship with Oakland University’s Pawley Lean Institute.

“With 20 years experience, this week of lean training finally gave me a picture of what business is all about.”
“The only place I know that teaches lean systems thinking. There are a lot of people teaching the tools. However, without the “system thinking” it is like trying to build a house with a hammer and saw but not a blueprint.”
“Out of all the training courses I have attended over the last 30 years, this is the only one that gives me the tools I need to really make improvements.”
“Well structured, excellent fundamentals and very well communicated. Before the course my focus was on the tools for lean; now I understand the essence of lean – big difference.”
“The easiest way to convince key management that lean was a good idea was to expose them to the experience.”
