Creating a 'site that does not rely on experience'
**Seminar Points** Improvement means changing standards for the better. There can be no improvement where there are no standards. If there are no standards, start by creating them. Standards are "rules." What to decide are "procedures," "methods," and "timing." This seminar is focused on determining "procedures" and creating "work instruction documents." "No improvement without standards" — Learning from Toyota's teachings on documentation in the workplace The source of Toyota's strength lies in the concepts of "improvement" and "standardization." At the core of this is a culture of making insights and skills visible in the workplace and documenting them. In other words, it is a system for passing down knowledge through documentation. Relying on the experience and intuition of veterans in work processes can be a strength of the workplace, but it also carries the risk that quality may change when people change. By ensuring that anyone performing the work follows the same procedures, it is possible to achieve the same quality of products (good products) in the same amount of time. Therefore, the establishment of "work instruction documents" is essential. When developing work instruction documents in video format, it is also a prerequisite that this "foundational document" is properly organized. *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
