A Different Approach To Lean Training
Your Own Personal Lean Training Center
We Use An “End-to-End Lean” Method of Training Lean
You may be wondering what the name “End-to-End Lean” means.
Think of it like starting a new journey — having a roadmap makes every step easier to navigate.
This course is your Lean roadmap.
Throughout your journey, you’ll learn practical ways to Reduce Costs, improve Quality, and Strengthen Your Processes.
You could read a textbook or watch a video, but Lean is best learned by doing — by applying what you learn directly to your own work.
Our goal is to give you tools and principles you can use immediately to make measurable improvements.
Lean can be challenging, but the principles pioneered by Dr. Toyoda and the Toyota Production System provide a proven foundation.
With that as our guide, you’ll build the habits and confidence to apply Lean — from start to finish — in your own organization.
“Make today better than yesterday, and tomorrow better than today.”
— A guiding motto for Lean companies worldwide.
That’s what we intend to do together — step by step, building your ability to make things better in your work area or your entire business.

Getting Started: What to Expect
Before we begin, let’s agree on two things:
There are always opportunities to make our work better.
We’re willing to take the time to study the work, find root causes, and make measurable improvements.
Our self-paced training is built around a “learn by doing” approach.
You can take your time with each lesson and apply what you learn at your own speed.
How You Will Learn
Free Weekly Online Lean Coaching Lessons – Read and study at your own pace.
Weekly Online Group Sessions – Join discussions, share progress, and learn from others.
Practice & Application – Try out the tools in your real work environment.
1:1 Coaching (Optional) – Schedule personal coaching calls for deeper guidance.
Different lessons will take different amounts of time.
For example, this Introduction to The Lean Training Center may take only a few minutes — while later lessons may take a week or more to complete as you apply Lean tools to real challenges.
We see your time and effort as an investment in yourself and your team.
Lean learning doesn’t just improve your workplace — it also builds career-advancing skills in leadership, problem solving, and communication.
How Lean Tools Can Help Advance Your Career
Our Lean Learning Academy coaches have spent over 30 years teaching and practicing Lean in industries around the world.
We’ve seen remarkable growth in our students — not only in their skills, but in their confidence and careers.
It’s common to think,
“Lean will never work for us,” or “Lean is too difficult.”
But once you understand the basics, you’ll see how powerful small improvements can be.
Suggestions for Success
Start with the basics. Begin your study with the 5 Principles of Lean and 8 Wastes.
Learn together. Create a small study team — maybe your leader and a few coworkers.
Apply what you learn. Practice on real processes — that’s where the learning sticks.
Ask questions. Use your weekly sessions and coaching calls to clarify what you’re learning.
Weekly Coaching & 1:1 Support
When Lean is learned together, progress accelerates.
Our weekly Lean P D C A Sessions are open to all enrolled students. You’ll meet others, share your progress, and gain new ideas for improvement.
You can also schedule 1:1 Coaching Calls with a Lean Coach for personalized help.
Many students find these sessions invaluable for setting goals, building confidence, and staying focused.
What is the Cost?
Good question!
There are many different types of requests for Lean training. One client may need support in heavy manufacturing. Another client may need help in the hospitality industry or in the service industry.
We can modify your training to meet your specific needs.
We price our course by the month.
The charge for an individual student is $298.00 per month.
The price for a team of 3 - 10 students is $200/ month per student.
The price includes online Lean lessons sent to your email box weekly. The price also includes weekly online Lean coaching calls for the entire team.

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”.
