What is required of on-site leaders is not just to manage daily operations. To uphold the three missions of the site—Quality (Q), Cost (C), and Delivery (D)—a system and perspective that “manages” the entire site is necessary. However, there are many voices expressing uncertainty, such as “I don’t know where to start” or “People don’t move even when I tell them.” Many of these issues stem not from “people” but from the “management system.” In this seminar, an instructor with a proven track record of training at Toyota-affiliated companies will explain how on-site management is conducted at Toyota and what is necessary for on-site leaders, incorporating practical exercises. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
