Objectives of "The Kaizen Japan Study Tour"
While not only Europe but many regions around the world are suffering because of the severe
and well-known financial and economic crisis, it is important to act for the recovery and future
growth of the companies’ business. In Japan, after many years of sluggish expansion and
natural disasters, many companies are actually increasing their competitiveness in the
manufacturing field even in comparison with the low cost labor countries.
TPS (Toyota Production System) led Kaizen in quality, productivity, cost and time reduction,
environment friendly technologies… are improving company profits and image. That is why we
think that a study and training tour, visiting some process and assembly industry plants of
these Japanese organizations could help western companies to get some hints and lessons to
learn.
