The document provides an overview and agenda for a presentation on the Lean Handbook Journey. The presentation covers:
- The history and development of the Lean Body of Knowledge (BOK) by four partner associations including ASQ.
- An explanation of the four major sections that make up the BOK, with an emphasis on Continuous Process Improvement techniques and tools which account for 60% of the Bronze exam content.
- Details on how the BOK covers both the "how" of Lean through processes, systems and techniques, and the "why" through underlying principles.
- The agenda outlines exploring the makeup and flow of the BOK, information on Bronze Lean Certification, and a Q

Agenda
• The current Lean Body of Knowledge and
its history
• The make–up of the handbook and its
contributing authors
• Information related to the Bronze Lean
Certification
• Suggested readings
• Q&A
Introduction
• First and foremost, this is not the exam
prep book
• This is the “overall BOK book”
• It was written at the “tactical” level (vs.
integrative or strategic)

Brief History of the Lean Certification
• 2001 – Members of SME, AME, and constituents of the Shingo Prize
came together and determined the need to align practitioners to a
common foundation – fundamentals – of lean practice to provide a
roadmap to support workforce development and training efforts.
• 2004 – Development of the BOK began in earnest. The Shingo Prize
model served as a basis for the program’s Body of Knowledge.
• 2005 – The proposed lean body of knowledge was validated in a
study thus launching the Lean BOK version 2.0
• Kaizen Blitz Week – Nearly 60 lean practitioners gathered for a week
to develop the components of Lean certification program. Teams
were established to focus on exams, portfolios and the mentoring
requirements. Throughout the development process, nearly 200 Lean
practitioners were involved in the creation of this program not
including the couple of thousands that participated in the study.
ASQ Joins
• 2006, March - The first Bronze exam was offered to the public, the
Certification Oversight & Appeals Committee was established
• 2006, June - the Silver exam was available
• 2006, December – the Gold exam launched
• 2007 - The Shingo Prize Model was restructured, a second validation
study was performed
• 2008 - Updated BOK V3.0 (with weighting factors for Bronze, Silver,
Gold)
• 2010 – ASQ joins the partnership
• The Future of the BOK - Validation studies will be conducted every
5-7 years

Lean Bronze Certification
Prepare, Exam, Portfolio
Preparation
1. Assess your knowledge - to earn this certification, you
should demonstrate your understanding of the Lean
Certification Body of Knowledge (PDF). You should also
understand the basics of lean.
2. Read the recommended material - Exam questions are
based on specific Recommended Readings (PDF) selected
by knowledgeable and experienced individuals.
3. Apply - After you apply for the Lean Bronze Certification,
you will receive an "Applicant Kit" which will include: Body of
Knowledge, Recommended Reading List, Portfolio
candidate portfolio instructions, Bronze level portfolio forms,
Lean Proctor form and agreement

Exam
4. Attend a classroom review course or register for LORP
(Lean Online Review Program) (Optional)
5. Take the exam - the open-book 170-question exam takes
three hours. It is strongly recommended that you bring your
recommended reading material to the exam. All exam
questions are taken from those sources. You can find exam
taking tips here. (PDF)
6. Receive the Knowledge Certificate - when you pass the
exam, you receive a certificate (not a certification) that
serves as a base for pursuit of the Lean Bronze, Silver and
Gold Certifications. It is valid for three years and is not
renewable.
Portfolio
7. Construct and submit your portfolio of experience -
you must submit your portfolio and have it accepted within
the three year timeframe beginning from the date on your
knowledge certificate.
It should document:
• Completion of 80 hours minimum of education/training
requirements.
• Five (5) tactical projects: events, projects and/or activities
to which specific lean principles and tools were applied.
• Portfolio reflection: results of the events, projects and/or
activities.
