About the AME Excellence Award
The AME Excellence Award recognizes manufacturing or health care organizations that have demonstrated excellence in manufacturing and business operations. The primary focus of the award is to acknowledge continuous improvement, best practices, creativity, and innovation. The award criteria detail a lean systems model for enterprise excellence.
The rigorous selection process begins when a company submits an extensive achievement report based on the AME Excellence Award evaluation criteria. Achievement reports are evaluated by the AME award assessment team. For companies that score high enough in this review, an intensive site visit is completed, during which a team of manufacturing practitioners validates the achievement report and identifies a company’s unique “Pearls of Excellence” or best practices to share with its members.
Recipients of the Excellence Award are selected based on the combined results of the achievement report review and site visit feedback. Only 44 sites have been recognized with AME Excellence Award since its inception in 2010.
