Corporate leaders around the world invest substantial time and money on change initiatives that achieve positive results but are unable to sustain the momentum or gains. Leaders eventually learn (the hard way) that Lean "tools" (ie SMED, 5S, kanban, value stream mapping, TPM etc.) are not independently capable of effecting lasting change. It doesn’t take many such cycles of trying and failing for associates to feel jaded, frustrated and burnt out.

On the other hand, organizations that anchor their improvement initiatives to principles – or understand the “why” behind the “how” and the “what” – experience significantly different results.

And this is where the Shingo Model & workshops come in.The Shingo Model™ is not an additional change initiative to implement. Rather, it provides Ten Guiding Principles on which to anchor your current initiatives and fills the gaps in your efforts towards enterprise excellence. The five Shingo workshops teach people about the model and its guiding principles well enough to use them in their work everyday.

​Join us for this presentation to get a thorough understanding of how you can put The Shingo Model & Guiding Principles to work in your company and transform your organization's culture to one of continuous improvement and operational excellence.
