A successful organization is usually made up of complex systems that can be divided into layers of subsystems, each containing the necessary tools to enable the successful outcome of the system. An example of this would be the Continuous Improvement System which pulls together all of the tools & techniques used by an organisation or the HR System which guides human resource activity. The Shingo Model Insights tell us that:
Organisations who have adopted the Shingo principles, have seen an increased level of success in areas such as Costs (increased revenue, reduced inventory, reduced lead times etc), Safety & Quality ( zero lost time for accidents, reduction in scrap, defects and non-conformance), On Time in Full & New Product Introduction (increases in OTIF by as much as 95% & NPI up to 100%). Attendee’s of our Shingo workshops have rated them very highly, with 98% having no hesitation in recommending them to colleagues.
“Very good, enjoyed the course, looking forward to working on this in the future.”
