9. Current Kaizen Issues
1. Personnel training:
Kaizen has been reduced by an increase in the power of temporary workers in the field. To
those who work in a short period, it is not the benefits to themselves. Kaizen is in the state of
no progression because there is no problem in the work remains to be said. Because the
work of maintaining the status quo getting more and more, managing become more
troublesome as well as the increasing of temporary workers in moving in the direction of
ensuring the apparent benefits.
2. Sharing:
When there are 2 temporary agencies in the factory, the Kaizen of a different temporary
agency and the process of another temporary agency are not reflected, at all. Although they
are on the same line, the production methods for each temporary agency are different.
3. Strategy and Tactics:
It is impossible for Kaizen to be the strategy. This is because there are activities until the end
at the field site… Currently, even overseas, the skills they are using at the field site has been
improved. The continuous winning of the global competition of the field site’s Kaizen only,
has become difficult from now on. The public and private sectors planned a strategy together
to focus on the future of long-term manufacturing of TOP management and the
implementation is an urgent.
Manufacturing is eternal as long as people improve.

Art of War
According to Sun Tzu, the 5 following points are the 5 factors to compare
one’s friend or foe.
• Moral Ethnics (Tao) - Ways to strengthen unity and political
rulers and the people.
• Heaven (Tian) - Changes in the weather, seasons,
temperature, etc.
• Terrain or Ground(Di) – Geographical features
• Leadership or Commands ( Jiang) - Competence of the war leader.
• Methods and Discipline (Fa) - Military regulations of the army system.
To be more specific, judge according to the following ‘Seven Stratagems’.
1. Which of the two sovereigns is imbued with the moral ethnics?
2. Which of the two generals has the most ability?
3. With whom lie the advantages derived from heaven?
4. On which side is discipline most rigorously enforced?
5. Which army is stronger?
6. On which side are officers and men more highly trained?
7. In which army is there the greater constancy both in reward and punishment?
Compared to the above pre-war elements, soldiers must be raised when a an adequate chance of success
is expected.
