You Are Dedicated to Excellence

Become a Certified Improvement Professional in Print

You're a professional dedicated to improving processes in your organization. You operate with an eye on the goals of increasing customer satisfaction, speeding production and reducing costs. Maybe you manage your organization's formal quality improvement program or perhaps there isn't one but you have contributed toward improving processes that have made a real difference in the company. You are, in short, a devoted practitioner of continuous improvement.

At PRINTING United Alliance, we believe such dedication should be recognized. We've developed the Improvement Professional in Print (IPP) certification program to validate the expertise of printing industry professionals who help companies achieve operational excellence by using the concepts of Lean Manufacturing and other management and quality systems.
