The Institute of Lean Management (ILM), THE FIRST SHINGO LICENSED AFFILIATE IN SRI LANKA
The leading lean management institute in Sri Lanka which established in 2009 was recognised by the Shingo institute in USA, the global leader for Operational Excellence and nominated ILM as the first Shingo Licensed Affiliate in Sri Lanka. This initiative will be a great support to Sri Lankan industries to reach world class manufacturing status.
The Shingo Model™, guiding principles and Shingo prize is very popular in USA and western countries. Now all these learning are available in Sri Lanka and it will definite take our industries to greater heights.
Dr. Shigeo Shingo has been described as an “engineering genius” who helped to understand the concepts, systems and techniques that, under his tutelage, became fundamental to the renowned Toyota Production System (TPS) , sometimes referred to as the Toyota Business System.
The Shingo Institute’s mission is to guide leaders in creating sustainable cultures of excellence based on principles. The Shingo Institute’s vision is to be recognised as the global thought-leader in enterprise excellence.
Shingo Model
Three fundamental paradigm shifts are embedded into the Shingo Model™ for organisation improvement. When these new paradigms are well understood and acted on, cultural transformation can be accelerated.
The basis for the Shingo Model is that certain principles are key to sustainable cultures of excellence and to creating ideal results. The Shingo Model illustrates the relationship between principles, systems, tools, and results. This clearly defined relationship better informs leaders such that they can more effectively focus their efforts. The Shingo Model is NOT another initiative or programme to implement. Rather, it introduces guiding principles, or Shingo Guiding Principles, on which to anchor current initiatives. It informs a new way of thinking that creates the capability to consistently deliver ideal results to all stakeholders.
The highest standard in the world for the organizational excellence is the Shingo prize.
The Shingo Prize is based on a complete assessment of an organisation’s culture and how well it drives world-class results. Shingo examiners focus on the degree to which the Guiding Principles in the Shingo Model™ are evident in the behavior of every employee.
