In order to give support to our client's manufacturing business from all possible angles, we have brought together an enviable group of consultants, each armed with a vast amount of practical experience.

To create a better Genba for our clients, we are determined to help implement Kaizen (continuous improvement) principles.




Kaizen and the Art of Creative Thinking

Kaizen and the Art of Creative Thinking

Once again Dr. Shigeo Shingo will amaze you. Along with Taiichi Ohno, Dr. Shingo co-developed TPS (LEAN) with his deep understanding of how to improve the overall process of production. Dr. Shingo reveals how he taught Toyota and other Japanese companies the art of identifying and solving problems.
Many companies in the West are trying to emulate Lean but few can do it. Why not? Possibly, because we in the West do not recognize, develop and support the creative potential of every worker in solving problems. Toyota makes all employees problem solvers. Dr. Shingo gives you the tools to do it.
