The Western Region of the Shingo Prize is a non-profit established in 2005 to administer the Shingo Prize for Operational Excellence in Oregon, Washington and California. The Shingo Prize is named for Japanese industrial engineer Shigeo Shingo and was established in 1988 to promote awareness of Lean manufacturing concepts and recognize companies in the United States, Canada, and Mexico that achieve world-class manufacturing status. The Shingo Prize philosophy is that world-class business performance may be achieved through focused improvements in core manufacturing and business processes.
