Masaaki Imai interview!

Masaaki Imai comments on the need to convert from batch to JIT and China ‘productivity', among other topics.

One highlight:

“Kaizen is the means to achieve a corporate strategy, not the strategy. Every corporation needs to make a radical change, or some change at least, to survive in this very competitive, rapidly changing world.”
