This book presents a big-picture overview of the entire Shingo
improvement process. It fully discusses the needs and benefits of
the Shingo process, and what is required if you seek to execute the
Shingo Model in your enterprise and focuses on creating an enduring
organization-wide continuous improvement process. It gives the
reader a discussion of the entire Shingo experience while the most
existing books on the model are course specific. There are numerous
discussions, conference talks, and webinars of why the Shingo
process is beneficial, and what types of improvements can be
achieved, but the crucial material has not been assembled in one
concise book, giving the executive, manger, or supervisor an
overview and understanding of what the Shingo experience entails.
The main purpose of this book. It is for the executives who want to
understand their role in supporting and leading middle management
with its implementation. Many executives from developing countries
all over the world are seeking a concise definition of what the
Shingo model is, and this book functions as the perfect primer.
Even those who have attended and implemented the lessons from the
Shingo Institute's courses would find this book a benefit as it
serves perfectly as backup and reference material. In addition,
this book helps anyone who has started their journey with the
Shingo model and may be confused about what to do and expect -- It
gives them a vision of what the continuing journey will look like.
The Shingo process is being taught at numerous universities and
this book could indeed serve as the appropriate textbook or
supplemental reading. Essentially, this book teaches an innovative
and extremely successful approach to continuous improvement,
referred to as the Shingo process. It is based on a set of
universally accepted principles that are endorsed by improvement
leaders such as Covey and companies such as Toyota. This book is
not a detailed review or a replacement of the Shingo workshops. It
is an overview of the entire Shingo process, starting with a
discussion of the challenges that many of todays enterprises are
experiencing. The author, in his role as a PhD in economics, has
studied industries and has worked closely with many of them
attempting to understand their weaknesses. Next, this book builds
upon an understanding of these weaknesses. The book discusses how
the over-all Shingo methodology fits into these organizations and
highlights the benefits. The next step is then to discuss what
requirements are necessary for an organization to get ready for a
Shingo transformation. What are the steps that the organization
needs to go through, and when will it know that it is ready to
begin? The book briefly reviews the Shingo Insights and Principles
and explains how the Shingo courses should be best utilized to
facilitate the desired transformation. It suggests some alternative
plans for over-all implementation based on the current state of the
enterprise. It explains why there is no "one way" for successful
implementation and how the implementation sequence needs to be
customized. It also discusses the length of time needed for success
and how this differs depending on the current enterprise
environment. Lastly the book explains how the implementation and
Shingo training is never finished. It is an on-going process and
success is defined by internal improvements, not by some arbitrary
external benchmark. The book is intended to be educational, thought
provoking, entertaining in its stories and examples, and a
guideline towards the development of a plan for continuous
improvement. This book is filled with stories and examples, showing
successful and not so successful implementations. The stories are
used to highlight many of the pitfalls that have arisen and may
arise for you and which can be avoided if the reader is aware of
them and knows how to watch for them.
