FAQ
Questions and answers
Didn’t find an answer? Write to us in the request form and a manager will reply.
How is corporate training different from an open training?
Corporate training is run for one company’s team: we adapt the programme to its processes, and the practice takes place at its workplaces. Open trainings bring together specialists from different companies, with the programme and dates set by the calendar.
Can you run the training at our plant?
Yes. We run corporate trainings and workshops at the client’s plant: theory in the classroom, practice on the gemba.
How many people can be in a group?
Ideally 10–15 participants.
Is the training online or in person?
Open trainings are held in a classroom or online; the format is shown in the calendar. Online courses are at BPI Academy.
Do you issue a certificate?
Yes. Participants receive a certificate of completion; Lean Six Sigma programme certificates are accredited by the Council for Six Sigma Certification (USA). Certificates can be verified on the BPI Academy website.
How much does corporate training cost?
We quote on request: the price depends on the number of participants, duration, on-site delivery and how much the programme is tailored to your goals.
What shop-floor training programmes do you offer?
For operators and supervisors – TWI trainings (job instruction, SOP development, job relations), 5S, SMED quick changeover, standardisation and the Lean Team Leader programme. We build the programme around your area and run the practice at the workplace.
How is your business training different from an ordinary seminar?
Most of the time is practice: exercises, simulations and work on the gemba. Participants apply the tools to their own company’s problems and launch improvement projects after the training.
How do I choose a manufacturing training programme?
Send a request: a manager will clarify the task and suggest an area and a format.
How long does it take to prepare a corporate programme?
Usually a week from agreeing the task.
