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 excellent 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 a closer collaboration with Japanese companies will have to fully embrace the concept and practice of monozukuri at their respective companies. >> more
