Best-in-Class Problem Solving
Get Recognized for Problem Solving Using an A3 Process
Each quarter, lean leaders select an A3 that showcases how a team effectively used the corporate A3 standard as part of their problem-solving process.

When selected, the recognized A3 is featured in the Lean Advocate newsletter with a link to an interview with a team member, as well as posted on the Lean Exchange. Take a look at some of the best-in-class A3s that have been showcased.
