this tour experience
recently visited Japan with the research group and went to Toyota TPS lean practice dojo for training and study. around the theme of lean management, Toyota company and its suppliers and manufacturers in Nagoya, Shizuoka, Tokyo and other places were visited on the spot.
was the reward itinerary arranged by the head goose class. I didn't expect much at the beginning, but with the change of mentality from passive to devotion, my group members and I constantly felt that Japan's development had entered a stage of highly developed civilization. Whether it is economic, political, cultural, or national quality, we have a big gap with them. We must always reflect on ourselves, police and encourage ourselves, learn from Japan's strengths, and solve internal and external problems through continuous learning and improvement, so as to seize the opportunity to achieve better development.
Here, I will share what I have seen, heard, learned and thought during my stay in Japan from the aspects of Japan's economy, culture and lean management of enterprises.
1. face up to the gap between the economic development of the two countries
In 1991 , Japan entered a long-term economic downturn after the bubble economy burst. Many enterprises were deeply trapped in the economic quagmire, including the AVEX company we visited. In these 20 years, China has prospered and developed. Our Chinese people's clothing, food, housing and transportation have been continuously upgraded, and earth-shaking changes have taken place. We can eat and drink every day like the Chinese New Year, but are we really developed?
As early as 1987 , Japan's GDP surpassed the former Soviet Union to become the world's second largest economy, when the domestic market economy was only a few years old? How many years has it been since the farmland was distributed to the household? After 2008 , the GDP between China and Japan began to approach, and after 2010 , China surpassed Japan to become the world's second largest economy. China is indeed developing rapidly, but we cannot compare the current economic development achievements with the long-term downturn of the Japanese economy, so as to blindly and confidently look down on Japan.
The accompanying translators and local tour guides on this trip are all Chinese who have lived in Japan for more than 20 years. Through their introduction and exchange, we will compare what we have seen and heard between China and Japan from time to time, as well as the enterprises of both sides. The accompanying Tian Translator is also a senior management consultant and is often invited to teach for some companies in China. He said, "Japan has a complete social security system, and employees' working hours are stable at 7-8 hours without worrying about education, medical care and housing prices. But every time I go to China to see the working conditions of front-line workers, I feel very sad. " But it is this kind of "sad " that makes more and more Chinese entrepreneurs and executives have a strong and urgent need to change their business management.
Although China's total economic volume has surpassed that of Japan, China's land area is 25 times that of Japan, and its population is more than 10 times that of Japan. Simply put, Japan is the area of Yunnan Province, but I need not say much about Japan's economic influence, and everyone understands it. The advantages of Japan's economy are prominently reflected in three aspects: industrial manufacturing, financial strength and technological advantages, which are the three pillars for Japan to maintain world economic hegemony.
As of 2019 , Japan has a total of 33259 100-year-old enterprises and 8 millennium-old enterprises. Among the world's ,500 companies, Japan has a total of 68 multinational companies on the list, second only to the United States. Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic and other world-renowned companies and brands are all world-renowned for their product technical content and quality excellence. Mr. Tian said that Japanese products rarely have quality problems, let alone fake and shoddy products. Hearing this, I feel a little burnt on my face. Made in Japan seems to be synonymous with brand, technology and quality. What about made in China?
2. attaches importance to the gap in culture and education between the two countries
10 January 9 , Japanese chemist Akira Yoshino won the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He is Japan's 27 Nobel Prize winner. The well-known Kyoto University in Japan has produced 15 Nobel Prize winners.
It is said that the Japanese government decided on a scientific plan in 2001 with the slogan "Win 30 Nobel Prize in 50 " . Previously, in the 100-year history of the Nobel Prize, Japan had only 9 winners, but from 2001 to 2019 , Japan had 18 winners. According to the rhythm of one year at a time, "50 years 30 " is almost no suspense.
The frequent Nobel Prize winning of Japanese can let us see the essence through the phenomenon: Japan is not really struggling. The so-called loss of the Japanese economy 118 20 years, in a sense, is definitely the 120 of their scientific and technological innovation 20 years. Whoever has the most advanced technology can dominate the development trend of the industry. The Nobel Prize is a powerful weapon developed by Japan, even a shining blade. During the visit to Dafu Group, I was very shocked by what the narrator said, "The two storage systems we visited last have not yet been put into the market because our customer units still have a lot of manual links, but we are ready to meet the development of the times! " Yes, when we say we must strive to be prepared for the change, our neighbors are ready!
AVEX , we also learned that the company was hit hard by the world financial crisis of 2008 , but there was no layoff as we imagined. Instead, we spent more energy on personnel training and technological innovation. After ten years of sharpening, AVEX production of gearbox spool products occupy the first place in the world, supplied to Toyota, Aisin, BMW and other car companies, as well as many Chinese car companies. Isn't this a retreat?
Japanese yen is a famous Japanese biologist, Ichiya Higuchi on the 140 5000 Japanese yen is a famous Japanese writer, and the person with firm eyes and serious face on the largest denomination 10000 Japanese yen is educator and thinker Yukichi Fukuzawa. There is no general or emperor in the Japanese yen. Through this subtle way, Japan tells the public that scholars must be respected and education must be valued. Only science and education can rejuvenate the country. Japanese university teachers will not worry about being left out or losing their jobs because they have not produced scientific research results for a period of time. In the research process, they are rarely interfered by the government and society, such as assessment and evaluation. Long-term concentration on academic research. Of course, Japan is basically a lifelong career country. Many countries, especially China and the United States, believe that talents can only be valuable if they move, but this statement obviously does not exist in Japan.
The two teachers who did the Toyota TPS
41 years and retired to the second-line training. Director Ishigaki Zhongzheng was originally responsible for the production and management of Land Cruisers in Toyota's own factory, and now Toyota is doing talent training. It is understood that Japanese employees will receive paid pre-job training for 3-12 months before starting their jobs. Toyota's training cycle is 6 months and Mitsubishi's 12 months. These professionally trained employees will be able to adapt to their jobs as soon as they take up their jobs. This established corporate training system in the Japanese workplace is beyond our ability to afford. Although some large state-owned enterprises in China have also begun to do pre-job training, they have not made long-term systematization like Japanese enterprises. Fortunately, Tencent, Ali and Huawei have deeply realized the important task of rejuvenating enterprises and the country through science and education. This year Tencent has awarded 1.5
scientists. It is hoped that more and more young scholars will turn their attention to academic research and devote themselves to scientific research and innovation. This road is very difficult, but someone must go. (To be continued) (Ye Liqing)
