During my decades of practicing and coaching Lean, I have stumbled across numerous Lean Assessment tools, designed to benchmark your organization against World Best. Without a doubt this App is the best so far. It is easy to populate, and it asks all the right questions. Your organization will immediately discover the gaps in your Lean Transformation Journey, and help you understand the way to create the right Culture necessary for change. Try it now, and get on the right path next week. Lean Ghuru aka Richard Evans

Description
The Association for Manufacturing Excellence offers the AME Lean Sensei to anyone interested in benchmarking their organization against distinguished AME Excellence Award recipient companies. AME Excellence Award recipients operate at exceptional levels of performance, setting the bar high for achieving success in the search for operational excellence. If you are interested in joining this distinguished group of recipients, the AME Lean Sensei will help you see if you’re ready to apply. If you’re not interested in applying for the AME Excellence Award, the AME Lean Sensei is still a valuable tool to help your organization identify potential areas of focus and improve the way you improve.
How to use the AME Lean Sensei:
Have 5 to 10 key staff members or key knowledgeable associates come together in one room. Include people who have little to do with direct responsibilities for your improvement program activities. Discuss each question and arrive at a letter grade for each answer. The AME Lean Sensei should be used as a systematic process for your team to improve. It is not a survey to be given to all employees but should be used by a team that has some familiarity with basic lean principles.
A+ = Best in class – World-class benchmark
A = Excellent - Sustainable with great results
B = Good results – Definitely going in the right direction
C = On the journey - Some process gaps but striving for improvement
D = More gaps than achievements – Definite area for improvement
F = No achievements in this area – No process documented or followed
Once you select a letter grade for every question, AME Lean Sensei will populate the dashboard and report card automatically. With this information, you can easily see your improvement maturity strengths and weaknesses. The letter scoring is the easy part of the AME Lean Sensei. To truly get the most benefit from the tool you must take the next step. You will see that each question has an area to document proof (for grades B or greater) and an area to document gaps (for grades C or below). The overall score is not important; there is no final destination relative to improvement practices.
How to get the most from this tool :
The best senseis—or teachers— always ask thought-provoking questions and do not give mere answers. The questions asked by the AME Lean Sensei will help you think about how to become best-in- class at your site or facility.
As you answer the AME Lean Sensei, ask yourselves:
- How can we prove this in writing?
- How can we prove this visually?
- Do we have any external benchmarks of excellence for comparative purposes?
- What gaps do we have for each question?
Have we reached the level of excellence necessary to apply for the AME Excellence Award and, if so, how can we engage the entire company in that process?

Lean Director
This is an outstanding tool for assessing where you are on your enterprise excellence journey. It can serve as a roadmap as well. It has great functionality for documenting strengths and gaps. It has a scorecard feature and will even e-mail a report to you. This app is amazing.
Extraordinary App!
AMEs Lean Sensei is a simple, yet powerful tool that allows you to self-reflect on your organization and benchmark where you are on your Lean journey. The self-evaluation is guided by probing questions and examples of what the maturity model looks like in each category, allowing the user to calibrate their response. Lean Sensei is based on the AMEs Excellence award criteria and provides a holistic view of your operation or business, broken into 6 major categories, and containing 15 different subject areas. It provides a full report of your responses, and can be a significant tool for evaluating your status and prioritizing where you want to go next. Lean Sensei supports AMEs noble vision of " A manufacturing renaissance driven by people-centric leadership coupled with enterprise excellence." Excellent job by Preston, Bremer and the AME Team!
