Run the plant on verified numbers.
The leadership path. Turn rolled-up OEE/TEEP and a live savings ledger into an operating rhythm — where the budget follows ranked, verified opportunity and every win is one finance can sign.
Built for the Plant Manager.
Plant managers, operations managers, and value-stream leaders accountable for KPIs and the improvement program.
Operational leadership experience. The Supervisor or CI Specialist path is helpful, not required.
What you'll learn.
By the end of this path, you'll be able to:
Read the whole plant on one page — rolled-up OEE/TEEP and the live savings ledger
Wire KaizenFlow into your daily, weekly, and monthly operating rhythm
Allocate the improvement budget against ranked, verified opportunities
Use TEEP to tell a real capacity constraint from idle time before a capex ask
Hold accountability with owners, due dates, and an audit-proof ledger
The modules.
5 self-paced modules · ≈1 hr 54 min total.
Reading rolled-up OEE/TEEP across lines and shifts, and the savings ledger, as one operating view.
Wiring the platform into your daily/weekly/monthly cadence — from tier boards to the ops review.
Using ranked, verified opportunities to decide where the next engineering hour and dollar go.
Telling a real capacity constraint from idle time before you sign a capex request.
Owners, due dates, and a verified ledger that makes the savings story audit-proof.
What you earn.
The course is free. Certification — the applied assessment and the verifiable credential — is the only paid step: a one-time charge for a credential valid 2 years.
How it's assessed
A defended operating case against a simulated multi-line plant: from a rolled-up OEE/TEEP view and a live savings ledger, build and defend a 90-day operating plan — ranked budget allocation, a daily/weekly/monthly rhythm, a TEEP-based capacity call, and named owners with due dates — answering follow-up challenges on your reasoning.
2 attempts included; 14-day cooldown between attempts.
What's tested
- Allocating a fixed improvement budget across a ranked, finance-verified backlog and defending the sequence
- Reading rolled-up OEE/TEEP and the savings ledger as one operating view, wired into a daily/weekly/monthly rhythm
- Using TEEP to tell a real capacity constraint from idle time before approving or deferring a capex ask
- Setting accountability that holds — named owners, due dates, and an audit-proof savings target
Every credential carries a unique ID and a shareable badge — verifiable by anyone, no login, valid for 24 months.
Answers, up front.
How is this different from the Executive path?
The Plant Manager path is hands-on operating discipline — rhythm, budget, and accountability. The Executive path is strategy, ROI, and sponsorship.
Do I need a technical background?
No. The path is about running the plant on verified numbers; the technical configuration lives in the Engineer and Administrator paths.
What do I earn?
The KaizenFlow AI Certified Plant Manager credential.
