Which non-manufacturing companies implement Toyota Production System strategies and tools?
  • Starbucks
  • The Ritz Carlton Hotel
  • Japan Rail
To name a few.

いかなる事業のどのような側面も、プロセスです。管理、設計、広告、生産、顧客サービス、営業,等々。製造業では産業の不可欠な要素となり、あらゆる事業の戦略として、プロセス改善,リーン改善は急激にその認知度を高めております。したがって、目標はつねにムダの排除、原価低減、品質と効率の向上です。事業のプロセス改善です。

製造業、医療、航空、ムダの管理に携わる人、もしくは単にムダをなくす、原価低減またはムダのないスリム化した事業文化を創り出すことを目的とする人に、これらのツールは目的地にたどり着くために大いに役立つはずです。

The key point is, do you and your staff accept what the current situation at your company is or are you actively identifying problems and inefficiencies and finding creative solutions? Are your company employees active or passive when it comes to the success and survival of your organization?

鍵となる点は、皆さんもしくは会社のスタッフ方々が積極的に問題や非効率的なことを明らかにし、創造的な解決を見出そうとしているかどうかです。会社の成功と生き残りに従業員の人々が積極的か受身的であるかどうかなのです。

In many Japanese companies, specifically within The Toyota Motor Corporation and its related organizations, process improvement is a way of life. Process improvement is a necessary component to their success and survival. Without it, they would not thrive. Process Improvement is a mind set, not merely a method. Process Improvement is a company-wide, total participation commitment to actively seeking leaner ways of doing business with total quality control. The continuous improvement process, kaizen, the 5s process and employee engagement are the reasons why Japan thrives in the face of intensive competition and resource scarcity.

数多くの日本企業、特にトヨタやその関連企業ではプロセス改善は組織仕入れ先ネットワークでは当たり前のこととなっています。企業の成功や生き残りには不可欠な構成要素なのです。それなしでは繁繁栄はありません。プロセス改善は単に手法ではありません。姿勢の問題であります。 プロセス改善は全社的な、全員参加の関わりであり、積極的にリーンな事業展開方法を求め、高品質を高めて行くものです。絶えざる改善、全員参加が、厳しい競争と資源枯渇の直面しても日本が繁栄する理由なのです。
