Japanische Erfolgskonzepte

Always getting better!

The advancing globalization and the merging of markets are increasingly making efficiency and streamlining processes an absolute prerequisite for business success. On the other hand, carefully addressing customer needs in terms of "understanding and serving customers better" is playing an ever more crucial role in the competition for market share. Japanese strategies and methods have been known in the West for more than thirty years and are eagerly adapted. However, they can still make a valuable contribution to successfully meeting today's challenges.

• Kaizen - the Japanese key to success
• KVP - the continuous improvement process
• LPM - Lean Production Management
• TPM - Total Productive Maintenance
• SM - Shopfloor Management
