Education
The Shingo Prize recognizes that true lean transformation requires significant education and training. However, it is vital for organizations to become self-sustaining not only in the tools and systems of lean but also in the development of their own people. For this purpose, The Shingo Prize offers face-to-face training workshops intended to provide organizational leaders with the necessary understanding of the Shingo model and its principles, systems, and tools. In addition to workshop, The Shingo Prize offers study tours, conferences and an Executive Education Certificate Program.
