This book is based on our experience of running a series of Productivity Improvement programmes in the Czech Republic. The aim of the programmes was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Japanese productivity optimisation techniques by helping line managers in Czech companies to use these techniques to improve performance. This book;
Provides an insight into the Japanese approach to productivity
Shows how these methods are used in practice
Provides a detailed explanation of the 5 most commonly used techniques
These techniques enable managements to understand the real potential of their resources and to put in place programmes to optimise this.
