"I do not have any formal training in this area, but I have read Lean Thinking and some other books on the subject. I can really see the benefit of reducing waste in a manufacturing process. After reading the book, I've tried to apply the lean approach to my life, both personally and professionally. I would like to have the opportunity to gain more formal training in this area."

"Because I am familiar with the intricacies of lean manufacturing for single parts, I can scale those same principles on a larger scale such as mass-production scrap minimization. During meetings, I can potentially communicate this as a mediator with the design engineers as well as carry them out with expert-level knowledge when providing guidance to the operators on the "how" and "why," when providing explanations for TPS standards. So, to summarize - I have seen different angles of TPS and can comfortably discuss this with my coworkers."
