WHY CERTIFICATION?
• You’re good at your job - prove it. Certification is an industry standard for
professional recognition, and documentation of your manufacturing-related
knowledge and skills.
• Credentials you take from job to job. With lifetime employment a thing of
the past, your record of performance must travel with you. Certification is
third-party validation of your achievements.
• If you have skills, experience, but no degree. The next job on the ladder
might require a degree. Ask the boss if Certification qualifies you.
Certified Manufacturing Technologist (CMfgT) — demonstrates your
competence in the fundamentals of manufacturing.
Certified Manufacturing Engineer (CMfgE) — recognizes your comprehensive
knowledge of manufacturing processes and practices.
Lean Certification — a multi-level program recognizing tactical, integrative,
and strategic application of standard Lean principles.
Six Sigma Certification — programs that were developed and are delivered by
award winning ASU IE faculty members: Dr. Doug Montgomery, Dr. George
Runger, Dr. Dan Shunk, and Dr. John Fowler, as well as experts from industry.

Lean Certification
Monumental collaboration between SME, the Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME), and the Shingo
Prize led to the development of Lean Certification, which represents a highly desired Lean standard. This
certification will help to align Lean practices within companies and throughout supply chains. The program
establishes the benchmark of achievements in Lean.
Each level of Lean Certification recommends the review of various materials. SME is the only place where you
can purchase the complete recommended reading list for each Lean Certification level! These reading
materials are critical to success, as certification exam questions draw from content within them. Certification
candidates may bring these materials to their exam session, but are encouraged to study them beforehand.
BRONZE LEVEL
This level is for experienced Lean practitioners. Pursuers of this certification level possess a solid understanding of
Lean principles and tools. They are able to tactically implement Lean to drive improvements and show measurable
results. Candidates are expected to teach the basic tools of Lean.

Right-Sized Equipment
Within lean manufacturing, companies seeking to improve flow, quality, and
turnaround time while minimizing their capital spending use right-sized
equipment. Instead of large product batches that must be stored, right-sized
equipment produces just the amount of product needed and errors in the process
can be quickly exposed and eliminated. This program gives an exclusive look into
The Boeing Company’s Commercial Airplane Plant and Integrated Aero Structures
Division to explain how right-sized equipment improved their Lean process.

Building a Lean Culture
Permanently changing the attitudes of employees is a difficult task. What might
be considered a lean operation one day could easily slide back into the old ways
of doing things overnight. The only way to prevent this from happening is to make
sure you have a lean culture in place, ensuring buy-in from employees at all
levels of the organization. While fundamentally changing workplace culture is
easier said than done, the HID Corporation is well on its way. In “Building a Lean
Culture,” you’ll see how the company built a sturdy foundation—teamwork,
community involvement, and social interaction among employees—from which
new improvement ideas continue to positively impact quality, cost, and delivery.

Ideas are Free: How the Idea Revolution is Liberating
People and Transforming Organizations
A worker in a large wireless communication company showed his manager how
to repair an error that was costing the company US$30 million per year. A secretary
at Grapevine Canyon Ranch proposed a simple change to pull the company’s Web
site to the top of search engines. These are just two of many examples given that
highlight the single best resource in a company—frontline employees. Based on
extensive research, this practical book shows how to draw ideas from employees
and significantly improve the culture and success of any organization. The
authors also developed a video series, “The Secrets of Getting Lean Ideas from
Employees” with SME based on this book.

Minimum Quantity Lubrication
Hundreds of manufacturing operations are finding that methods and tools that
support near-dry machining, or minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), provide
numerous benefits in both metal cutting and forming operations. This program
surveys four very-different manufacturers: Ford Motor Company, Amerimax,
Advanced Mold and World Machinery and Saws System Co., which use MQL to
apply only the minimum amount of lubricant needed for each job. Each of these
companies had once relied on traditional flood-coolant methods that supply large
amounts of fluids to the machining process — creating high handling, cleaning,
and disposal costs, as well as hazards to plant workers’ skin and lungs. These
shops have found that MQL systems cut these costs and eliminate these hazards,
while increasing production rates and tool lifetimes.

Managing Teams in Manufacturing
Avoiding the pervasive pitfalls that often limit team performance. You’ll see why
team-based organizations almost always out-perform traditional top-down
organizations. At Hewlett-Packard, teams have boosted responsiveness to
frequent changes in technology and the production processes of their laser
printers. See how team-based organization also helps break down adversarial
relationships between departments, between production stages, or between
unions and management.

Factory Man
How Jim Harbour discovered Toyota’s quality and productivity methods and
helped the U.S. auto industry get competitive
“Factory Man” is about James Harbour and the epic struggle of the U.S. auto industry
to catch up to Japan in quality and productivity. A former manufacturing executive,
Harbour became the first U.S. expert to study Toyota’s operations in Japan. Harbour’s
consulting firm, Harbour & Associates has gained worldwide recognition for its
annual public studies of factory productivity. The Harbour Report is the essential
annual scorecard of who is winning the quality/productivity race in the U.S.
James Harbour’s story includes a detailed description of how Detroit went astray,
beginning right after World War II. He saw it all firsthand. A Depression child, he
started working at Chrysler’s Jefferson Avenue assembly plant in 1946 and rose
through the ranks, struggling all that time against a system that tolerated inferior
products. The story continues to the present day as he explains why Detroit still
hasn’t quite caught up and how desperate the situation has become.

the foreknowledge of what to expect and how to deal with it, students, technical
professionals, and even experienced managers will learn how to avoid many of the
traps that can sidetrack a management career.

Story of a Lean Journey
Go to the beginning of a lean journey at Allison Manufacturing Services (AMS), a
small manufacturer struggling to survive global competition and specialization.
Looking for a way to save the company, the board hires Bill Watts, a lean consultant,
as its new executive vice president. Knowing that a successful lean journey requires
a culture shift, Bill must rally the support of the board members who are skeptical as
to what lean will bring to the bottom line. But the change in thinking required to make
lean implementation successful is only the beginning. This unique novel approach to
illustrating lean concepts will take you through the first three years of lean
application at AMS, and will have you asking, “How do we implement lean within
our organization?”
