We are The Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME), a not-for-profit organization founded in 1985 dedicated to helping companies with continuous improvement and their pursuit of excellence. Whether looking to learn about Lean manufacturing or one of the continuous improvement tools like value stream mapping, kaizen, Lean Supply Chain, Lean New Product Development, Lean Accounting, or Leadership of Lean transformation you've come to the right place. We are practitioner-based, which means our events and workshops are hands-on and taught by others who have been there and want to share their stories. Check out our events section for our on-going regional and national events or become a member of AME and start receiving our award-winning Target magazine.
