The Center for Competitive Change as part of the University of Dayton's
Research Institute is implementing a new program to support the need for small
to mid-sized business to become competitively stronger with market & profit growth.
The "Get Lean®" Program has all the attributes and tools major global companies have taken and
implemented, including Toyota, Wiremold and Teledune.
Basically, Get Lean® is a program specifically designed to help our small to medium sized clients advance their business abilities to recognize and reduce unneeded, unwanted costs and understand, discover and implement ways of conducting business and producing products and services. How does a small
to mid-size business do all this while staying within your budgets? The Center for Competitive Change accomplishes this with three simple principles.
No.1. Help companies (you) obtain high-end knowledge and skill in Lean, ISO and Six-Sigma
No.2. Help companies (you) bring and successfully implement the tools back into your business
No.3. Help companies (you) lower operating costs (by a minimum of 10-15%),
gain a new competitive strength in your markets, and bring new profitability to your bottom line, now.
Program Overview
The Get Lean® certification program comes from the Center for Competitive Change. The Center has
a 20-year record in building and delivering performance-based learning programs and coaching services.
Each of the Center's programs and coaches are noted Subject Experts that bring "best in class" knowledge
transfer that can be easily learned and immediately brought back to your business environment. The Center only works
with the best. Our partners and facilitators are very visual, highly interactive subject leaders that pull together
your business needs with solution tools. This level of experience and everyday practicing leadership is
what insures your positive experience in our programs and allows us to point to more positive results than
anyone else. After all it is about you and your business. Together our successes come from your ability
to implement and succeed, now.
Audience
The Get Lean® certification program is setup to serve our small to medium sized business or your identified Lean Champion. In
these environments, generally it is one or two individuals assigned to monitor and implement all
business improvements and changes.
This individual is expected to understand and speak or interpret the language,
develop the correct programs
for the business, work with inside/outside resources, vendors and consultants, and evaluate (measure)
the results of each new change/improvement.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of building your specific curriculum, you will be expected to:
- Attend and successfully complete exercises and class work for 8-10
program days of the Center's Public Learning Programs (within a 12-18 month time line),
- Successfully pass a final examination for bringing it all together,
- Successfully pass a comprehensive test covering the aspects and tools of Lean, and
- Define (assisted by a coach), implement and successful demonstrate ROI (at least 10%)
for one (1) project within your business environment.

Required Commitment
$5,000 per participant without coaching/mentoring or $7,500 per participant with coaching/mentoring
The fee will include attendance to a defined 8-10 program or curriculum days (see above) created specifically for you by the Center to match your needs, at the time training is needed and exactly what is needed. Your resource and our coach will review your business and
need, then determine which programs best fulfill your need.
It is never without saying that you still rely on others to support many of your change efforts.
The Center recognizes this and wishes to extend the opportunity for the program participant to
invite and bring a guest. For example, you might bring your controller to the Lean Accounting
and Metrics programs or floor supervisor for the Root Cause Analysis or Lean Equipment program.
We know this and have your solution.
Your $5,000 fee includes one (1) companion seat to four programs, one (1) seat to a unique and powerful consortium quarterly round table, and the
assignment of a coach (if purchased) to assist in project identification/completion.
Additional program seats are ONLY $100 per day for the Get Lean® Program companion.
Benefit to attending
The UDRI Team will create for you a highly developed core competency and certification
program that supports you, your business and your need to gain competitiveness and
stronger profits. The bottom line to you is a stronger more efficient business that recognizes
bad costs, wasteful activities, and new ways of competing and growing.
Of course, upon your successful completion of the program coursework, the Center's
final comprehensive examination plus implementation of one (1) onsite project
demonstrating
ROI, each participant will receive their Master's Certificate from the
University of Dayton
or Lean Certification without project work.
