JIT Deployment & Development of Local Staff in Overseas Production Bases
KAIZEN and HITO-ZUKURI based on the TPS approaches in overseas production bases
>Have you ever seen following phenomena in your overseas factories?
・Some newly employed local staff leave your company very soon.
・It is difficult to foster good local managers.
・Excessive workload is apt to be placed on Japanese staff.
・Faults of the production system in Japan are explicitly reflected
in the overseas factories.
・Activities such as TQC, 2S, PM, etc. do not take root.
・You do not know any subsidy systems available for education.
・You cannot any longer rely only on cheap labor cost available overseas for the purpose of cost reduction.
・You are imposing your Japanese way.
・The local situation cannot be understood for those in Japan.
Right HITOZUKURI is necessary for each country!
Try to help the local organization evolve from a dependent one which cannot function without instructions from the Japanese staff.
