December 2006:
Neovista Consulting is moving forward in its support for a
nationally-recognized Lean Certification. The certification
program, a joint effort sponsored by the Association
for Manufacturing Excellence, the Society of Manufacturing
Engineers, and the Shingo
Prize for Excellence in Manufacturing, is currently in
beta test and is due for rollout in the March/April timeframe.
Neovista Consulting, along with about four dozen other experts
in Lean Thinking, have been working together for most of 2005
to develop the program structure, elements and criteria.
Many of our products and services
can support your preparation and study for your Lean Certification!
