World Class Manufacturing - Yamashina Way

  

On 24.10.2010, I participated in the presentations of Operations Management - On the Job Achievement Event of NITIE's IE organized event Lakshya.

There one of the jury members from FIAT India pointed out that WCM has Yamashina way. That leads to the inquiry - What is Yamashina Way?

The World Class Manufacturing has 10 pillars

1. Safety, Hygiene and Working Environment'

2. Customer service

3. Cost deployment
Cost Deployment—aims to identify problems that increase costs. It also approves improvement projects to reduce costs.

Update 13 November 2016

I came across total industrial engineering once again. WCM of Yamashina is still under active implemenation and more articles are available on internet now.

New Holland Agriculture in Basildon is getting the benefit of 8% reduction in operating costs using the WCM methodology.
