What You Will Observe
Shingo principles embedded into systems in daily work — building toward ideal through the formalization of systems
High-velocity, high-customization manufacturing operating at a scale and speed that challenges assumptions about what lean culture requires
Daily management systems in a technology-driven environment where data and human behavior are designed to reinforce each other
What it looks like when operational excellence is a competitive strategy — not a cost reduction program
DISCOVER EXCELLENCE
Your starting point — required before every other workshop
Every Shingo journey starts here. In two days — part classroom, part Gemba walk at a live host site (either virtual or in person) — you'll get your first real look at the Shingo Model and learn how to measure what good looks like.
This workshop provides a clear framework you'll start applying before the workshop even ends.
You'll walk away with:
• A working understanding of the Shingo Guiding Principles — in plain language
• The Three Insights of Organizational Excellence, and why they matter
• Hands-on practice with understanding how to measure behaviors with purpose - through a case study and a site visit (either virtual or in person)
• The foundation every other Shingo workshop builds on
Prerequisite: none — this is where everyone starts
