New Shop Floor Management - Empowering People for Continuous Improvement / Company Transformation

This is a copy of Session One of NSFM video titled "Developing a vision of shop floor management" and is a part of the 10-session video course, New Shop Floor Management - Empowering People for Continuous Improvement. Note that this directly links to total corporate transformation.

I developed this video course in 1992 with SME, and wrote the book under the same title, published in 1993 from The Free Press (Simon and Shuster). As I review this video now in 2011, and see myself in the video some 20 years younger, lots of memories come back. At the same time, I realize all the messages shared in this video are still very valid, if not more important.

As mentioned in the video, market and technologies change rapidly, competition intensifies, and people face various challenges everywhere. Companies are seeking ways to transform from traditional to progressive way of doing business with everyone invloved and with clear management principle.

Few days ago, I came back from Europe after conducting seminars to address those concerns. The idea is to acquire skills for self-management, be the master of our own destiny, and as a company to orchestrate the process of change while everyone to find the means and purpose in work and life with such concepts like mini-company, and glass wall managemnet. I believe this video will give ideas toward that, and hope the best for those with spirit, and passion for the journey ahead. Good luck and have fun! - Kiyoshi (Kio) Suzaki
