Lean Competency System
The LCS is the world's leading improvement qualifications and community.
It helps Improvement Leaders to build capability and credibility, drive cultural change, and deliver measurable results, by offering a globally recognised qualification framework and access to the world’s leading professional improvement community.
The LCS was launched in 2005 by the Lean Enterprise Research Centre (LERC) at Cardiff University, as a vehicle to help organisations develop staff Lean capability and adopt Lean thinking more effectively. In 2014 a new spin out company, Lean Competency Services Ltd., was awarded the Cardiff University licence to operate and develop the LCS.
