ENGLISH
JETRO Event

In Japanese, the words mono (thing) and zukuri (process of making), when taken together literally mean the process of making or creating things, however a mere translation does not convey the accurate connotation of monozukuri. The concept is much more intense; monozukuri means having the spirit to produce excellence products and the ability to constantly improve a production system and process.

Monozukuri therefore may be a somewhat new and exotic word that American managers hear coming from their Japanese partners. However, American suppliers hoping to develop closer collaboration with Japanese companies will have to fully embrace the concept and practice of monozukuri at their respective companies.

The cost of the luncheon seminar is $50. Advance online registration is required for this event through the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. For registration information, contact Paige Anderson at the Nashville Chamber at 615-743-3063 or panderson@nashvillechamber.com.

The program will begin promptly at noon. Simultaneous translation between English and Japanese will be available in the afternoon portion of the seminar. For program information or media inquiries, contact Kevin Kalb at JETRO Chicago: 312-832-6023 or Kevin_Kalb@jetro.go.jp.
