Virtual Lean Peer Group #19
NEW FORMAT!!
Tentative Dates: October 15, 2020 to September 9, 2021
Build a Lean Culture to Ensure Long-Term Success
The Maryland World Class Consortia hosts regional Lean Peer Groups throughout Maryland. Lean applies to any type of organization and processing environment. Whether you are a manufacturer, distributor, service organization, or a non-profit, this program should be part of your Continuous Improvement plan. Company leaders will have an opportunity to revamp and re-energize their Lean strategy by networking with and learning from others who are committed to creating a Lean culture.
Tentatively scheduled to kick off on October 15th. Due to COVID-19, we have instituted adjustments and enhanced the program. For the last five months, the Lean Peer Group meetings have been held via (Zoom) video conference. For Group #19, though all monthly meetings will be held utilizing this same format, if company travel and meeting restrictions are lifted, MWCC will coordinate facility tours for members within travel distance of each other. These gatherings will be in addition to the monthly video conference meetings.
Format:
New Program Features!
Following are some of the enhancements which will be incorporated for Group #19.
Who Should Attend?
Not just for manufacturers, our Lean Peer Groups have a mix of companies from a broad range of industries and Lean maturity levels, from those who are just getting started to some who would be considered Lean-mature organizations. All of these organizations have been able to learn and grow. The only real requirement is a sincere desire and commitment to moving forward on this never-ending journey of excellence. To assure open communication, no competitors are placed within the same group.
What is the cost?
The cost is $3,000 per company and includes a complimentary membership to the MWCC (a value of $1250). Participation is limited to 12 companies.
Your Lean Peer Group Facilitator
Dave Rizzardo has been the Associate Director of MWCC since 2014. In 2012, he co-developed the Lean Peer Group service and has been facilitating multiple groups since that time. His Lean experience predates the time when Lean became synonymous with business excellence. His recently published book, "Lean - Let's Get It Right! How to Build a Culture of Continuous Improvement", dives into many of the topics discussed and debated during the MWCC Lean Peer Group meetings.

Due to COVID-19, we have instituted adjustments and enhanced the program. Lean Peer Group meetings are held via (Zoom) video conference.

To assure open communication, no competitors are placed within the same group. Participation is limited to 12 companies.
Lean Peer Group participation includes a one-year MWCC membership, a $1250 value. And Maryland manufacturing and technology companies qualify for grant reimbursement of 50% of the $3000 fee at the end of the Peer Group round ($1500). So, you do the math!

The Maryland World Class Consortia’s Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification Program (LSSGB) provides detailed instruction on, and guidance through, the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC) Roadmap. The Certified LSSGB will be able to identify the right projects, collect specific data, analyze the data with powerful Lean and/or Six Sigma tools, identify root causes, put solutions in place and set the new process up for both sustainability and continuous improvement.
Program Cost
Option 1 – Standard Course. The fee for the standard Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Program is $3,500 per person. This tuition covers all academic modules and course training materials for each academic day. Students will receive a training guide and “The Lean Six Sigma Pocket Tool Book: A Quick Reference Guide to 100 Tools for Improving Quality and Speed”.
Ø Participants who successfully complete the program will be presented with a Certificate of Completion.
Option 2 - DMAIC Project Mentoring and full Certification. Additional $1300 per person. Those opting for the DMAIC Project Mentoring and full Certification will receive an additional six hours per student (remote mentoring activities).
Ø Participants undertaking the "DMAIC Project Mentoring and Full Certification" will be certified by HartePro Consulting and the MWCC provided they successfully complete the program.
Ø Participants are strongly encouraged to plan improvement projects in their home facility between monthly classroom meetings beginning after Module 2. Time necessary to conduct these projects can be significant, depending on the scope and level of difficulty selected by the student and their sponsor/senior leader, and should be considered when planning business commitments while the course is in session. Please contact us if you have questions regarding project planning and applied learning.
