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!

Similarly, during the visit of

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?

Japan is a country that advocates education and respects knowledge very much. There is no Teacher's Day in Japan, but the atmosphere of respecting teachers and respecting education is reflected everywhere. I don't know if you have noticed Japanese paper money? Hideshi Noguchi on the 138 1000

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

lean practice training for us are both senior consultants who worked in Toyota's first-line department after

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

.4 billion yuan to 165 50

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)

The company requires each business segment to formulate medium-and long-term business plans.

According to our newspaper, "if an enterprise wants to develop in the long run, first of all, managers should have a long-term vision." On July 24, when general manager Yu Jianhong deployed the work for the second half of the year at the semi-annual meeting of the group company, he specifically asked all enterprises to formulate specific medium-and long-term business development plans for the next three to five years according to the industrial development trend and the group development strategy. Before making arrangements for the specific key work in the second half of the year, Yu Jianhong emphatically put forward the requirements for each business sector to formulate a business strategy plan for 2016-2018 according to the industry development trend and the group's development strategy. Yu Jianhong pointed out that the current group company's strategic decision-making and strategic development capabilities and efficiency still need to be improved. The publicity, understanding and implementation of the group's development strategy by various companies are not in place. The lack of medium and long-term business planning in each business sector restricts the business of the company. Development, cultivation of core products and profitability, construction of product brands, improvement of business scale and comprehensive strength. Last year, the group company asked the international trading company to formulate three-year work objectives and sign a three-year economic responsibility system with the company's management team. The actual effect shows that this has made the management team's management ideas clearer and more scientific and rational in terms of target setting, work arrangement and business development. For this reason, the group company put forward the requirements for the formulation of medium and long-term development plans for each business sector at this meeting. According to the industry characteristics of each business segment, market environment and other specific circumstances, the company makes requirements for the key content of the development plan of each business segment. For example, the pharmaceutical sector focuses on sales growth targets for key profitable products, product development and

Condensing the heart and gathering wisdom to seek common development

Compared with the past, a new content has been added in the half year of this year-on the morning of July 24, according to the different industrial sectors of the company, the participating managers were divided into three groups: pharmaceutical industry, cement industry and other industries for special discussion. The theme of the discussion was clear in the meeting notice a week ago: under the current economic situation and industrial environment, how to maintain the improvement of corporate profitability and how to promote better and faster development of enterprises. Jiang Xiaomeng, chairman of the group, and Yu Jianhong, general manager of the group, made guiding speeches in three groups. After the group discussion, the group leaders made a summary report at the conference. Due to the clear theme of the discussion, the management personnel at the meeting were well prepared, and the sparks of ideas collided from time to time during the discussion. Due to the different industrial characteristics and market environment, the communication content of each group also has different emphasis. For example, the pharmaceutical group is most concerned about adjusting marketing strategies, handling the relationship between price and quantity, strengthening technological innovation to improve production efficiency and product quality, and subdividing professional fields to make characteristic markets, etc.; the cement group is more focused on reducing energy consumption, strengthening internal control and management optimization, improving operation efficiency, and extending to upstream and downstream industries; other industry groups have more urgent requirements for clear corporate positioning, strengthening business integration, innovating marketing models, and controlling business risks. But in the final analysis, no matter which aspect the speech focuses on, it finally falls on one point: business operations are facing huge crises and challenges, and they must undergo transformation and upgrading, seek rapid development, and highlight the siege of market competition. Some participants said that due to the correlation between the company's various industries

Before "assigning homework", Jiang Xiaomeng first put forward three "thinking questions": what kind of company are we? What kind of management and what kind of talent team do we need? What kind of difficulties have our products and industries encountered?

Only under the framework of various laws and regulations, can we bring more wealth to employees by creating the largest living space and the best benefits. The characteristics of the enterprise, the characteristics of the industry, the historical evolution of the enterprise, and the competitive pattern of the products all directly affect the management mode of the peak. We need to absorb all kinds of talents and use their wisdom to continuously make the peak go on for a long time and achieve the dream of "100-year peak. At present, among the two main businesses of the company, the cement industry has encountered the first negative growth in 25 years, and the price has fallen to the lowest point in nearly 15 years; the increasingly strict management policies of the pharmaceutical industry have brought more challenges and tests to the enterprise. However, the crisis and opportunity always coexist, enterprises to survive and develop, it must keep pace with the times, constantly change.
