Dear Lan,

I am very grateful to get into this car competition. I am hopeful and certain that I will part of the winning team from Kenya.

I am a social worker reaching out to the vulnerable communities in supporting them to access social development needs. I have a challenge in reaching out to a bigger number because currently I walk vising and supporting them which consumes a lot of my time and energy.

I will talk about car from Japan to everyone, becoming an ambassador in advertising and sharing to my friends and colleagues to buy CAR from JAPAN. They are efficient, cost effective, quality engine and durable.

CAR FROM JAPAN is a brand of its kind. Toyota is one of the true pioneers of Lean Manufacturing as the Just-In-Time system had its roots all the way back from the original Toyota Industries Corporation when they invented the worlds first automated loom machines.
It was a system to have supply's ready when they are needed, to eliminate waste and time. Deming came along and helped improve the system, which lead to the development of the Toyota Production System with kaizen approach, “ continuous improvement”.

Japanese talk about "Kaizen" which literally means constant improvement. While not a Japanese concept by origin (attributed to American W.Deming) it was the Japanese post-war auto manufacturers who excelled at this idea. Because Nissan, Datsun, Honda, Toyota etc were challenger brands in the 60s and 70s, they had to outcompete foreign auto brands on the basis of reliability.

This they achieved through constantly improving the manufacturing process and pursuing a policy of "highest quality is lowest cost" long term. One key aspect of Kaizen is eliminating "Muda" or waste.

Eventually, Kaizen could identify the source of unreliability rather than simply fix the symptoms. Piyush Michael's post talks about using less parts, and how cutting corners in manufacturing may actually cause greater cost long term. Sometimes UK managers are too focused on cutting costs early on to satisfy short term shareholder demands.

Western car manufacturers are trying to imitate the CAR FROM JAPAN way of making cars, but after having worked with several of them, I can say that many of them are light-years behind. Western car manufacturers want fast results, like to point blame, have a tendency to focus on details rather than the big picture, and have owners with just enough patience to reach to the next quarterly report. So they never get a chance to fully implement their ways.

Looking forward to celebrating my winning results..

Regards,
Dorcus.
