Overview

This award is open to Micro indigenous Irish organisations and the Irish-based operation of multinational companies that have commenced on their Lean Journey and made sufficient progress to provide evidence of impact to customer value and experience, process improvement projects undertaken, and improvement to bottom-line results.
