Lean Office Practitioner

It's not enough to understand the principles of lean manufacturing. Success lies in implementing them throughout your entire company. We can help.

The Lean Office Practitioner Certification offered through Manufacturers Alliance is a Practical Application Study Program. In addition to a twelve-credit course schedule, participants must pass a practice exam after each course. Prior to certification, the participant will submit two projects that represent measurable company benefits from applying their lean office practitioner knowledge.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Is there a time limit or a deadline for my projects?

      No, there is not a deadline set for projects. The intent is to apply what you have learned as soon as possible. A practical limit is two years.

    • If I am unemployed, how do I do a project?

      You can post a specific resume on our web site indicating that you are interested in doing a project for a company. Or, you can find a company on your own that would allow you to join a kaizen event, a project, or work as an intern in their plant or office.

    • Can I go for certification after I have taken a few courses?

      Yes. You must fulfill all the remaining requirements, pay for the courses separately and pay the additional certification fee.

    • Is there a time limit to finish all the certification requirements?

      Yes, we encourage completion within two years. However, you may request an extension for special circumstances.

    • How do I sign up for a workshop and have it show on my online certification records.

      Sign in through your account at www.mfrall.com before you register for a course

    • If I miss questions on the test how do I get the correct answers?

      We cannot disclose the correct answers to our standardized tests without compromising their integrity. All of the answers on the tests are either in the materials you received at the class or part of the instructor's presentation.

    • How and when do I write my first project?

      Guidelines were sent to you via email when you were first accepted for certification. You were also mailed a certification booklet, which included project guidelines and a project sample. Once you have started the certification, you may start your project at any time that you can demonstrate what you have learned.
