AME Programs
AME Consortia
An AME Consortium is a group of local companies (20 +/-) that collaborate for broad, deep, accelerated lean-CI progress better, faster and easier than they can do it alone. These dynamic practitioner-to-practitioner networks are designed to support you in accelerating your company’s journey toward excellence.

Share, learn and grow in your local market consortium through:
Plant tours rotating through the member companies
Round-table discussions on a host company’s hot issue
Special interest groups on a common hot issue (e.g. 5S, VSM, pull, SCM, etc.)
Auditor exchanges for deeper application of lean-CI practices
Consortium strategic plan for support of companies’ lean-CI priorities
Shared-cost learning events
Special discounts to AME workshops and events
Leveraging the AME Lean Sensei® for practical and deeper assessment opportunities
20% discount on job postings
And more
AME Consortia membership includes AME corporate membership which provides access to all AME member benefits, including discounts to conferences and regional events, publications and free webinars. In addition, AME Consortia members can attend the AME International Conference as a large group. Large group registration includes the lowest price AME offers for the conference as well as facilitation services and a daily debrief session in a dedicated meeting room.
