Express Institute's online LEAN Principles course provides you with practical skills for reducing waste and driving results in any industry—or even your personal life. Government and business data show that this certification can significantly increase your salary. Let us see how it pays off.

LEAN: Your Path to Higher Pay.
LEAN principles emphasize creating value by reducing waste—time, materials, or effort. From industry to technology to healthcare, professionals who understand LEAN are valued for optimizing operations. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), industrial production managers, who frequently utilize Lean, are expected to earn a median salary of $108,790 by 2024. According to the 2024 ASQ Salary Survey, professionals with LEAN or associated certificates earned an average of $95,000, compared to $80,000 for uncertified peers, representing a 19% pay increase. Process improvement specialists can earn up to $120,000 in high-demand sectors such as logistics.
Why the premium? LEAN skills generate demonstrable results. For example, a qualified professional may revamp a supply chain, saving a company 10% on expenditures, or simplify an office workflow, reducing weekly responsibilities by hours. These outcomes result in increases, promotions, or new opportunities in operations or consulting, where LEAN experience is widely recognized.
