Train the Next Generation
on Real Tools

Students learn statistics on toy datasets in toy software, then graduate into tools they've never seen. We think that's backwards. Partner with Svend and your students use the same platform professionals use — 200+ analyses, DOE, SPC, Bayesian reasoning, hypothesis-driven problem solving.

What Institutions Get

Everything your program needs, at no cost.

Enterprise platform — free

Full Enterprise-tier access for faculty, TAs, and lab environments. Multi-tenancy, admin tools, shared knowledge graphs, all features unlocked.

Bulk student enrollment

Send a list of usernames — we provision accounts and assign them to your program. Add or remove students at any time.

TPS facilitator webinar

One complimentary live webinar with a Toyota Production System practitioner. Tailored to your syllabus — connects Svend's tools to real-world CI methodology.

Curriculum support

We help you integrate Svend into your coursework. Guidance on assignments, lab exercises, and project structures that use the platform effectively.

Why we do this. Svend was built by a continuous improvement practitioner who learned under Charles Protzman Sr.'s integrated framework and put up hour-by-hour boards across four shifts at Fort Dearborn. The lineage is CCS 1948 → Shingo/Ohno → Charlie Protzman → Eric → Svend. The best way to continue that lineage is to put real tools in the hands of students before they hit the factory floor — not after.
