Learn from three organizations that are highly effective at improving. In this deep dive session, 2022 AME Excellence Award recipients will share their most important barriers and challenges and what they did to overcome them.

Overview

Few organizations are highly effective at improving, typically 5 to 10 percent of companies in any given industry. Learn from three organizations that reached that level of excellence. Each will share their most important barriers or challenges and what they did to overcome and reach this level of accomplishment. Following the presentation, there will be small group discussions where session participants can ask the presenters questions.

The AME Excellence Award recognizes North American manufacturing or health care organizations that have demonstrated excellence in manufacturing and business operations. The Excellence Award recognizes a single plant or operating unit, including “maintenance, repair and overhaul” operations or a hospital in either the public or private sector. The AME Excellence Award criteria detail a lean systems model for enterprise excellence. The primary focus of the award is to acknowledge continuous improvement, best practices, creativity and innovation. Learn more about the AME Excellence Award.
