The Shingo Prize is regarded
as the premier manufacturing award recognition
program for North America. As part of the Shingo
Prize mission and model, the Prize highlights
the value of using lean/world-class manufacturing
practices to attain world-class status.
VISION
Our vision is to be globally recognized as an engine of growth for organizations of all kinds and a career accelerator for individuals.
MISSION
The mission of The Shingo Prize is to build Operational Excellence in organizations through the promotion of “True North” principles of Lean, Lean systems of management and the wise application of Lean tools and techniques across the entire organizational enterprise.
The
Shingo Prize achievement criteria provide a framework
for identifying and evaluating world-class operational
competence and performance.
The
Shingo Prize achievement criteria generally do
not prescribe one single best method, system,
or route to attaining excellent-to-world-class
status. Rather, each element of the criteria lists
practices and techniques that might be incorporated
to achieve a world-class level of quality, cost,
delivery, and business results. Lean manufacturing
is clearly viewed as the best paradigm for achieving
Operational Excellence.
