SHINGO PRIZE FOR OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

Abbott’s vascular manufacturing plant in Clonmel and diagnostics plant in Longford have been recipients of the prestigious Shingo Prize, awarded to organisations that exhibit operational excellence. The prize, based on rigorous criteria and sustainable results, is awarded by the Shingo Institute at Utah State University’s Jon M. Huntsman School of Business. The prize recognises organisations that demonstrate a culture where principles of operational excellence are deeply embedded into the thinking and behaviour of all leaders, managers and employees. The prize is a premier award for operational excellence and the standard is, by design, one of the most rigorous in the world.

Our Vascular plant in Clonmel received the award in 2014 and our diagnostics plant in Longford was recognised in 2016.
