Shigeo Shingo's life-long work has contributed to the well being of everyone in the world. Shigeo Shingo along with Taiichi Ohno, Kaoru Ishikawa and others has helped to revolutionise the way we manufacture goods.

Shingo's never-ending spirit of inquiry challenges the status quo at every level- he proposed that everything could be improved. Shingo believed that inventory is not just a necessary evil, but all inventory is absolute evil. He is one of the pioneers of change management. He brought about many new concepts such as ZD (Zero Defects), shifting use of statistics for acceptance or rejection from SQC (Statistical Quality Control) to SPC (Statistical Process Control), SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Dies), POKA-YOKE (mistake proofing), Defining Processes & Operations in two-dimensions of VA (Value Addition) and non-VA, etc.
