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.

Questions

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.
