Lean Practitioners

UofSC's Lean Community of Practice is made up of employees and managers from across the university system. These trained practitioners are equipped with ideas, methods and tools for making processes simpler, faster, better and less costly.

Learn more about Lean-powered improvement by reaching out to one of the practitioners listed below.

Lean practitioners earn their expertise by putting Lean methods and tools to work. There are three levels [pdf] of Lean learning, practice and leadership. Lean learners are required to have at least 12 contact hours of in-class training for Yellow Belt status.
