Company-Wide Member Benefits:

Free & Discounted Workshops

Nearly all of GBMP's one day public Lean training workshops are FREE to members. That's at least a $199  value per attendee per workshop.  Members also get discounted tuition for our 2, 3 and 8-day courses as well as many LEI workshops and our annual Northeast Lean Conference.  Trust us, it adds up! ​​

Discounts on Lean Training Aids

Members receive 20% off all of GBMP's  lean training videos, workbooks and games. Members also receive the SME member price (15% off) for the Lean Certification Bronze Level four-book package and exam fees; an excellent addition to your lean library, even if you don't take the certification course or exam.

Bench-marking Plant Tours

GBMP Plant Tours are reserved exclusively for members.  These are invaluable bench-marking events where companies who have successfully begun implementing Lean initiatives share their results. Gold Members get up to four free attendees. Silver members may send up to three attendees for $49 each.

Shadow Days

 GBMP member companies can arrange for 2 employees to shadow a GBMP CI Manager for one day of training per year.  This is an invaluable opportunity for your people to learn how to facilitate a training session or get new tools for their Lean toolbox.  Use this form to request a shadow day.
