CTM was incorporated in 1986 with the belief that any type of company could dramatically improve productivity by reducing cycle time throughout their business and squeezing out waste using Lean methods.  Using an appropriate methodology that was developed by Toyota and therefore would reduce cost and greatly improve flexibility CTM was a pioneer in this thought process back in the 1980s. Over the years CTM has delivered high-quality services to manufacturing, healthcare, wineries, and several other organizations.

Lean Belt Certification

CTM’s Lean Belt Certification for individuals encourages a person to move through higher levels of learning about the application of tools and improvement processes that were developed by Toyota. Many companies, whether in manufacturing or service industries, have attempted to implement all or pieces of Lean Thinking over the years and require employees to have a good understanding of Lean Thinking.

That is where Lean Thinking comes into play, Lean Thinking helps an organization eliminate waste. A Lean Thinking individual needs to understand how they can contribute to their perspective workplace.

CTM has been delivering Belt Certification Training on-site companywide with an onsite instructor since 2015. In that time, we have had over 2000 employees graduate through our White, Yellow, and Green Belt training.

Due to Covid-19, we have not been able to continue working on-site and so we have created a self-directed series of White, Yellow, and Green Belt Certification course/kits for individuals who enjoy learning online. We say courses/kits because it is more than training. You can print your course resource material for future use “create your own Lean Manual”. In this self-directed online training, we introduce you to a real Lean Case Study and a Lean Champion who provides valuable tips about Lean throughout the course.

CTM is known in the industry as a leader in providing Lean training. This training was developed after working with 100’s of companies over 34 years of hands-on experience.
