Shingo Systems Design - April 7 & 8, 2026 with Chris Butterworth
Classes are Virtual: 6AM - 2PM Pacific / 9AM to 6PM Eastern
Hosted by Baptist Memorial
This two-day workshop integrates classroom and virtual onsite experiences at a host facility to build upon knowledge and experience gained in the DISCOVER EXCELLENCE* workshop and focuses on the Systems and Tools diamonds in the Shingo Model.
It begins by explaining that all work in an organization is the outcome of a system. Systems must be designed to create a specific end objective; otherwise, they evolve on their own. Systems drive the behavior of people, and variation in behavior leads to variation in results. Organizational excellence requires well designed systems to drive ideal behaviors required to produce sustainable results.
In this workshop, you will:
• Discover three types of essential systems.
• Explore five required communication tools for each system.
• Learn how to create and use system maps.
• Understand system standard work and how it drives improvement.
You will receive workshop materials and reading materials one week before the workshop date.
We look forward to seeing you there!
