“Learn from the best!” – that’s the motto of the Automotive Lean Production Awards, presented every year by the trade journal Automobilproduktion in cooperation with Agamus Consult, a subsidiary of the ConMoto Consultung Group. Prizes are awarded to the best performers in the five categories “International SME”, “International Group”, “OEM”, “Excellent Overall System” and “Best Value Creation Chain”. The winners of the prestigious prize are the victors from a field of businesses that have adopted the European benchmark in lean production.

This year the awards ceremony and accompanying congress Automotive Lean Production 2011 is taking place in the BMW World Munich on 22 and 23 November 2011. Dr. Herbert Diess, the BMW member of the board responsible for purchasing and supplier networks, will open the conference. Dr. Shuhei Toyoda, CEO & President Toyota Boshoku Corporation, will speak as the main supplier lecturer.
