The Essence of Improvement That Those in Their 30s and 40s on the Frontlines Should Acquire Now: Returning to the Basics of TPS to Enhance the Improvement Capability of the Entire Workplace.
Why, once again, the 'Toyota Production System' now? About 20 years ago, many companies actively conducted TPS training. However, with generational changes and the busyness of the workplace, this learning was interrupted, leading to a blank period where 'the basics of improvement were not shared.' Now, there is a demand to return to the fundamentals of TPS and enhance the overall improvement capability of the workplace. The training aims to understand the 'level of improvement' as the first step to acquiring practical skills and to gain correct knowledge and perspectives. Not only will participants acquire knowledge, but through workshops and exercises, they will cultivate the ability to concretely envision how to apply it in their own workplaces. Participant Feedback: - I realized how much room for improvement there is in my current workplace, and I could see the issues, which motivated me. - I always felt confused, but I learned the tips for involving not just myself but also those around me in 5S activities. - Even as someone who has never been taught TPS, I was able to understand it properly! - I recognized the reasons why improvement was merely superficial and made a commitment to redo things in the workplace. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

Company information
Our company was established 30 years ago, inspired by the teachings of Mr. Taiichi Ohno, the father of the Toyota Production System and former Vice President of Toyota Motor Corporation. The previous president, Shigehiko Sugawara, learned the methods of on-site improvement based on the Toyota Production System, as well as the supporting PM. After Mr. Ohno's passing, we established T.M.A. Co., Ltd. in 1992 to carry on his legacy. Manufacturing is about developing people. It involves creating sellable products based on the fundamental concepts of the Toyota Production System: "Just-In-Time" and "Jidoka." This means producing only what can be sold, when it can be sold, with a waste-free combination of people, machines, and materials, all within the shortest lead time. To achieve this, it is essential for the manufacturing, sales, and development departments to work together as one cohesive unit. We aim to realize manufacturing and human development that challenges together, leverages for the future, and creates the next stage. As a result, people grow, and a resilient corporate culture emerges. Our company strongly supports these initiatives. We operate six business areas: 1. On-site improvement consulting and seminar instructor dispatch 2. Online seminars and group seminars 3. T-Mate system 4. Book publishing and sales 5. Correspondence education 6. Video distribution
