APICS - San Fernando Valley

Certificate Course Series in Lean Operations

Develop an understanding of the concepts and principles that form the foundation of best practices in a 21st century lean environment. Earn a certificate in LEAN from the Tseng College at CSUN, in association with APICS.

Getting lean has never been more critical to an organization’s survival! Build the knowledge and skill required to deliver consistently high quality and value-added products and services to the customer.

In today's highly competitive environment, companies distinguish themselves through quality, speed of execution and the elimination of non-value-added activities. They succeed through constant attention to the bottom line and exceeding customer expectations. Lean operations provides a means for both. This four-course program presents the concepts and tools necessary for those who will participate in and lead successful lean initiatives.
