LEAN CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE
Following the purchase in 2007 by Microsoft of Lean Enterprise for Microsoft Dynamics
AX from eBECS, Microsoft have asked eBECS to establish the Microsoft Dynamics Lean
Centre of Excellence.
The mission of the Lean Center of Excellence is to serve as an educational outreach/training
facility for organisations that require training on Lean capabilities within Microsoft
Dynamics AX in order to further Lean initiatives within their organisations. Microsoft
recognises that a successful Lean implementation is not simply about providing the
right software tools; as important are the skills of the team that architect and
deliver the solution. eBECS has the necessary combination of academic knowledge
and practical experience of implementing Lean ERP solutions to ensure that the required
knowledge is disseminated to the appropriate stakeholders.

customer of Microsoft Dynamics interested in the Lean functionality available, please
email us at customer@ebecs.com with your

Are you a Microsoft Dynamics Partner?
If you are a Microsoft Dynamics Partner, you will require training from the Lean
Centre of Excellence for the Microsoft certification necessary to enable you to
sell and implement Lean Manufacturing in Microsoft Dynamics AX to your customers.
The certification programme consists of 2 courses:
Course 1: Positioning Lean Manufacturing for Microsoft Dynamics AX in your Sales
Engagement
Course 2: Demonstrating Lean Manufacturing for Microsoft Dynamics AX
Please visit the Microsoft Event Registration to book a place, the first
training is scheduled in Atlanta, US August 17th to 21st.
In order for a partner to be certified to sell Lean Manufacturing in Microsoft Dynamics
AX the partner will need to ensure that a minimum of two of their consultants have
attended and passed this certification program. It will be expected that attendees
are experienced in the areas of Inventory, Production and Master Planning and have
achieved relevant certification on Microsoft Dynamics AX in those areas.
In addition to the certification course, a one week follow-up course is available
for attendees who have already completed the certification course. This 5-day classroom
based course “Implementing a Lean Enterprise on Dynamics AX” will build on the certification
class and include an introduction to the additional capability that eBECS provides.
The course will provide attendees the opportunity to practice their knowledge on
more advanced case studies. This is not a certification requirement, but is strongly
recommended for those consultants who will be expected to install and configure
the Lean Manufacturing module following a successful sales engagement.
It may take some time for partners to achieve certification and it maybe that some
partners, whilst interested in including Lean in their marketing campaigns, will
not want to undertake the certification program. To help partners either as an interim
support mechanism or as a longer term relationship, eBECS provides a sales and implementation
support service agreed uniquely with each partner. For more information on this
please get in touch with us at partner@ebecs.com
to understand how this can work for your partner organisation.
To receive the product, sales, marketing and demo materials designed specifically
for partners please SIGN UP TODAY to become a member
of the Lean Centre of Excellence and we will provide you with access to a download
site where you can easily access all of the information available from eBECS and
Microsoft now and as it becomes available.
