Become An Examiner
The Board of Examiners is a very important asset to the Shingo Prize. Examiners consist of practitioners and academicians who have a sound understanding and application of Lean improvement concepts, systems, and techniques. Each Examiner attends the Shingo Approach to Operational Excellence workshop to learn about the Shingo Prize model, criteria and scoring method.
