Kaplan Award

The Kaplan Award is an Israeli award given for streamlining and increasing work productivity.

The winners of the award were determined by a committee headed by the director of the Institute for Labor Productivity and Production, and the award was presented to the winners by the Minister of Labor. For many years the award was given as part of the production productivity week.
