Our Mission is to Support the Manufacturing Industry by Developing Human Sources and Inheriting/Evolving Technologies through Manufacturing Consulting, Outsourcing and Training Businesses.
With limited natural resources, it is essential for Japan to continuously possess a competitive edge to achieve a good standard of living and to be respected throughout the world. The superior technology work as the foundation. Maximizing the usage of human resources engineers and inheriting the high level technology and know-how, known as a strong part of “Monozukuri(Manufacturing)” Japan has accumulated after the Second World War, is the key.
The Consulting and Outsourcing Business we provide serves the experts who have manufacuturing and specific technologies focussed on the industry. We offer newly developed services and human resources applicable to wide fields by inheriting and combining the technological know-how we possess.
President
Yoshikazu HIRAYAMA
HIRAYAMA Corporation
A group of real professionals – our consultants with their vast practical business experience have long advocated and practiced control and improvements in order to achieve overall cost reduction. They will provide a complete guidance while ensuring that employees of Genba feel reassured by imminent changes in their work place.
Tool
The consulting tools employed by HIRAYAMA Consulting have been vigorously tested and continuously improved through their use in numerous industries. We, therefore, are confident that we will be able to provide our clients with logically structured, effective guidance.
Nurturing
What happens in parallel to our guidance work at Genba is to encourage the culture of “nurturing people” that stems from our unwavering belief in human possibility. Once this culture takes roots, it will continue to flourish long after our work is completed.
Attitude
From feeling duty-bound to being interested and excited: ‘making things’ or manufacturing does not have to be a dreary activity. By training people to change their point of view, actions and methods, the level of satisfaction they feel about their job will be elevated, which in turn will drive them to want to work harder and better.
Optimization
“Smooth overall flow” is one of the main focal points of our work. Starting from planning, through procurement, manufacturing and distribution, to production control, it is absolutely crucial that all necessary elements are firmly in place and functioning properly.
Process
We are fully aware from our past experience that to follow a process is very important in Kaizen activities. Streamlined, efficient Kaizen with no waste (Muda) is what we try to achieve with our clients.
The motto of Genba
Based on the principle of “Genchi, Genbutsu, Genba-shugi”, the belief that practical experience is valued over theoretical knowledge, we will devise a tailor-made programme that is suited to the Genba concerned and also acceptable by those who work there.
Treasure hunting
Our method of working strenuously avoids “faultfinding” but instead actively seeks out “clues to Kaizen”. By employing this method, our consultants are able to work very closely with employees on the shop floor.
Production technology and original technology
Most of our registered consultants are experts in the manufacturing industry who have necessary know-how in the various fields. These are the people whom you would like to consult when problems relating to original technology surface unexpectedly.
