Lean manufacturing is a production practice that focuses on minimizing waste while maximizing productivity.
Originating from the Toyota Production System, lean manufacturing aims to streamline operations and improve efficiency by eliminating non-value-added activities, reducing costs, and optimizing processes.
Today, Lean is used throughout the world in almost every business and industry, from Heavy Manufacturing to the Space Industry to Health Care.

The Lean Challenge
The “Lean Challenge” is more than a learning experience. It is a method of learning online led by a live Lean Coach.
The process begins as we work with our clients online to identify what “Great Again” would look.
This could mean a reduction in costs, an improvement in productivity or an improvement in the production process.
Together our Lean coach and client will create an action plan.
The action plan will be reviewed weekly with the Lean coach, the leaders and Lean students.
After the review sessions, action plans will again be created for moving ahead.

Ben Root
Hello, and welcome to The Lean Learning Academy!
My name is Ben Root and I am a senior coach with The Lean Learning Academy.
My journey in training and development began at Kent State University, where I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. While working at NUMMI I received a Master’s Degree in Human Resource Development from Golden Gate University in San Francisco, CA.
The real excitement for developing others sparked as I joined NUMMI.
There, I had the unique opportunity to watch first hand as an automobile company with over 7,000 employees went from the Worst of the Worst automobile plants to the Best of the Best plants in a very short time as they transitioned to the Toyota Production System or what many today call “LEAN”.
