3, facing the gap in lean management of enterprises

to be honest, I never thought that one day I would go to Japan to see enterprise management, and I saw so much interest and not enough. As a liberal arts student, my eyes of Japan is a beautiful, with the spirit of samurai Japan. Kawabata Yasunari, Watanabe Junichi, Natsume Soseki, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Kensaburo Oe, Shunji Iwai, Taizai, Haruki Murakami, Keigo Higashino, etc. The works of these people have influenced and constructed my cognition of Japanese culture.

Japanese lyric poems are extremely well written, with aesthetic interest and a strong sense of leisure. Don't have a kind of elegant beauty, which is deep in my heart. Japanese writers believe that art must keep a certain distance from politics, even higher than politics and reality. They believe that once literature has a connection with politics, then art will no longer be elegant, but reduced to vulgarity. I like this kind of literary presentation, which is divorced from politics and tends to mourn things.

The accompanying translator and tour guide introduced a lot of political and social situations in Japan, but "seeing is better than hearing". Only when you are in it can you feel the difference of this environment. If Japanese literature is only concerned by some people, it is an indisputable fact that Japanese products have spread all over the world, or have penetrated into all aspects of people's clothing, food, housing and transportation. Toyota, Honda, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Canon, Nikon, Mazda, each brand has a loyal following in China.

What on earth do Japanese products impress consumers? I think the production concept of Toyota TPS can give us a good answer. Toyota TPS , that is, Toyota pays attention to standard operations and improved production methods, through just-in-time production, total quality management, parallel engineering and a series of methods to completely eliminate waste to reduce costs, and ultimately maximize corporate profits.

Toyota requires everything to be "Just in time ", just fine. During Toyota TPS practice dojo training, a production process that seems to us to have nothing wrong with it, Toyota people made 13 zero-cost or low-cost lean improvements, increasing production efficiency by 2 times, and saving production costs due to the reduction of one tool. The workers saved in the process can enable the factory to adjust the capable and innovative people to other positions, find and solve problems, forming a very good operation improvement cycle for Japanese enterprises.

When we visited Toyota's embankment factory built in 1970 , we deeply felt the results of Toyota's TPS lean improvement concept. This is a breathtaking pursuit of production. It can be said that errors and unqualified products will basically not exist. Any problems encountered on the production line will display yellow and red lights on a very intuitive kanban and sound an alarm. Only when the problem is removed will the green light be turned on and the next process can continue. This is also the reason why Japanese factories will not flow out unqualified products. We often say that change starts small. But Toyota's teachers said that to make a thorough improvement, we must start with the big problems, and finally improve or solve the minor problems. They think that big problems waste more, big problems are put in place, and when small problems are presented, it is a matter of minutes to improve. Toyota's infinite pursuit of eliminating complete waste in operational production is actually a better integration of environmental needs and internal division of labor. That, I think, is the essence of TPS .

visit also found an interesting phenomenon, Japanese company bosses generally do not stay in the office all day, but often wear work clothes in the production line. Even in a large company like Toyota, the boss arrives at the company before the employees. Every morning, he stands downstairs and bows to every employee who goes to work. Japanese employees can never enter the company without seeing the president (chairman) for a year. When we visited MIFUNE and AVEX , their presidents met us in overalls or overalls. This culture, and the country is also very different.

Any improvement and innovation must have the right soil, otherwise everything will be empty talk. Our trip was mainly in Nagoya, Shizuoka and Toyota, which is a world-famous automobile industry metropolitan area, namely the famous "Zhongjing industrial zone". There are many world-famous enterprises here, and the schools, communities and enterprises here are naturally integrated. We have seen primary and secondary school students of different ages come to visit the enterprises in Toyota embankment factory, Toyota Industrial Technology Memorial Hall and Toyota headquarters. This kind of visit is not a cursory tour, but through continuous visits, learning and experience, let children understand their own national industrial enterprises and cultivate deep-rooted national and cultural self-confidence.

4, Talking about the Development Gap between the Two Countries

Understanding a country, a nation, its economy and culture is certainly not just a few days. But in the past few days, we have indeed felt the level of civilization of developed countries. After comparing this civilization with all aspects of our lives, we can see the advantages and shortcomings of both sides. It should be said that we have a lot of room for improvement. During the visit to Japan, a deep feeling was Japan's perfect infrastructure, especially the developed comprehensive three-dimensional transportation system. We basically did not encounter traffic jams, which can be said to be very smooth, including in Tokyo, an international metropolis, there is almost no traffic jam. Moreover, I was amazed by the noise handling of highways and light rail trams in Japan. We lived next to the comprehensive station for two nights. The light rail was outside the window, but we could not hear any noise in the room.

Japan's urban and rural development has also reached a relatively balanced state. Along the way, Japan's rural areas can also enjoy the fruits of modern development, with convenient transportation, perfect service facilities, and little difference in living standards from cities. In contrast, there is still a big gap between China's urban and rural areas and the central and western regions.

Another feeling that Japan gives me is that it is very clean and tidy, both in the city and in the countryside. Japan is the country with the strictest garbage classification management in the world. It started garbage classification as early as the

Olympic Games. Every household consciously sorts the garbage and collects it on time and at fixed points. It is difficult to see trash cans on the street, and there is no phenomenon of littering and spitting, and there is no problem like some western countries' subway scribbles. Japanese people have a very strong sense of environmental protection, everyone consciously protect the environment. No matter in the city or in the countryside, there is no asphalt or cement pavement in the field, it is still the original mud road, even a grass in the middle of the road is still alive. This kind of picture of harmonious coexistence between man and nature has a good feeling of being quiet for years, but the Japanese have the strongest sense of crisis in the world, and their education and measures on typhoon prevention, earthquake prevention and fire prevention are also the best in the world. In front of

, I said "seeing is better than hearing". finally, I want to say "seeing is better than seeing". Toyota

production mode is not only used in Toyota and its suppliers, but also learned and imported by many countries and enterprises around the world, and applied in hotels, farms and other industries. This process sequence of excellence is close to perfect in my opinion, but Toyota people are not satisfied. They are still working tirelessly to make more improvements and innovations. And what should I or we Chinese do? What should we change? I think everything is better than starting from the heart. (End of full text) (Ye Liqing)
