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. This idea is the genesis of this seminar in the U.S.-Japan Manufacturing Technologies Series.

This U.S.-Japan Manufacturing Technologies Seminar will feature thought-leaders from American and Japanese companies who will share their insights on and experiences with the mindset of monozukuri, enhancing manufacturing talent formation, the product development process and much more.
