Shingo Institute
The Shingo Institute is part of the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business. Its namesake is Shigeo Shingo, the man responsible for documenting the early improvements made by Toyota and spreading Lean to the western world.
While the Shingo Institute provides training, its most notable activity is awarding the Shingo Prize to companies that exhibit organizational excellence.
It also awards the Shingo Publication Award, presented for writing that “has had a significant impact and advances the body of knowledge regarding operational excellence”.
