Why Use Our E-Learning

Most Lean training fails at the moment of application

People complete modules… and then struggle to apply the tools to real work.

EMS Consulting Group's Lean Training Online is built around a simple model:

Training + Application + Feedback

So learners build real capability—not just course completion.

Build Your Organization's Internal Capability to Achieve Operational Excellence and Culture Change

Lean, Six Sigma, and most other continuous improvement methodologies are intended to improve your ability to flow and deliver the best quality product or service to your customer when they need it at the lowest cost. But, how do you move closer to this ideal state? By building an organization of people who think differently! By creating an army of Problem Solving thinkers across teams and functional roles. And creating an environment of "Respect for People" supported by leadership commitment. Our training supports teams in developing practical problem-solving skills within an existing leadership context.

We define problem solving as moving from a current condition to a target condition by identifying critical causes/obstacles/factors, putting in place countermeasures to address the causes, and then monitoring and making adjustments as needed.

Whether you are using the Lean / Toyota approach to problem solving or the DMAIC approach from Six Sigma, our goal is to help you become a dynamic problem solver and facilitator and teach you the soft skills and technical tools to go along with it. As an individual, you will become much more marketable and promotable by demonstrating your educational achievement, certification, and skills. Your organization will become much more effective as you build the problem solving capability of the organization and create a culture of continuous improvement.

This site provides scalable capability development for practitioners, managers, and teams. For executive-level work focused on decision clarity, execution reliability, and leadership systems, visit EMS Consulting Group.

Why Use Our Online Lean Training?

Case Scenarios and Situational Examples

Our e-learning is not the run-of-the-mill set of PowerPoint slides. Instead we use a combination of conceptual learning and storytelling with dialogues to illustrate concepts. Participants will learn and apply concepts using case studies. For example, they might learn a concept such as problem solving coaching, and then they will watch a case example where they are able to witness the right and wrong way to go about it. Later, they can apply it to a case exercise and eventually to their own situation. For a sample of three videos, click here.
