Japan's Automotive Industry: Achieving Recovery and Growth Through Monozukuri
Thursday, December 8, 2011, 11:45AM - 5:00PM
ENGLISH
JETRO Event
Click here to view the post-seminar summary, presentations and photos.
Note: This seminar will be in both English and Japanese.
The Great East Japan Earthquake that struck on March 11th had a devastating impact on the Japanese manufacturing community, as several key global parts and component supplier companies were directly affected and disrupted by the disaster.
The crisis spurred an unprecedented recovery effort from Japanese industry. Through intensive collaboration and the shared mindset of Monozukuri - the spirit of manufacturing - Japanese automotive suppliers and OEMs raced around the clock to rebuild factories and recover production much quicker than anticipated.
In this seminar, you will hear perspectives from Japanese OEMs and parts suppliers on how they were affected by the March disaster, how crisis and recovery management played out both in Japan and the US, and on the future prospects for growth and opportunity. Attendees will learn first-hand about the Mindset of Monozukuri as a way to encourage future collaboration between the U.S. and Japanese automotive communities.
