The Ronin Level is the entry point into our lean trainings. These free courses are designed to give you a solid understanding of the core principles and concepts behind lean methodology. At this level, you will learn the language of lean, discover the most important tools, and develop the mindset needed to identify waste and drive continuous improvement in your daily work. No prior experience is required.
The Ninja Level lean trainings take you deeper. Each course explains a specific lean tool or methodology in full — covering the what, the why, and the how. You will gain the complete knowledge needed to apply lean methods correctly and confidently in a real industrial or operational environment.
The Samurai Level is designed for lean practitioners who want to teach and facilitate lean workshops. These lean trainings explain exactly how to design a workshop, how to prepare participants and the work environment, how to lead the intensive improvement phase on the shop floor, and how to execute a structured follow-up process to consolidate results and ensure sustainable gains.
The fourth level is dedicated to managers and operational excellence leaders. These lean trainings cover how to deploy lean methodology across multiple departments, how to define and communicate an operational excellence strategy, and how to align teams, priorities, and resources to achieve lasting organizational transformation.
