**Seminar Overview** Since the 1960s, manufacturing companies in our country have expanded their production bases to ASEAN countries, primarily Thailand, in search of "inexpensive and abundant labor." However, in recent years, labor costs in ASEAN countries have been on the rise. Additionally, it has been decided that the minimum wage in Thailand will be increased by an average of 40% starting from April 2012. Furthermore, with the relocation of flood-affected companies to the Eastern Industrial Region, an increase in wage levels and extreme labor shortages are also anticipated. Wages may shift from being based on the previous minimum wage to being set based on wage levels from the labor market. In this seminar, we will interpret this crisis as a new turning point for production activities in Thailand, focusing on how Thai individuals can take the lead in enhancing productivity with fewer personnel, and we will explain the key points of this approach.

To survive as a manufacturing industry, it is essential to maximize the output of available management resources. The driving force behind transforming factories and manufacturing is human resources. This seminar will systematically explain the specific approaches to optimizing the entire factory through improvements in management systems, including production sites, planning, and procurement. Additionally, we will introduce strategies for human resource development through the process of Techno-style achievement (VPM), which is essential for delivering reliable results in improvement management.

"Maximizing the efficiency of current personnel and equipment to strengthen global competitiveness" In the face of a challenging backdrop for the manufacturing industry, such as the strong yen, companies are compelled to shift overseas. At the same time, it has become a significant challenge to reassess the role of manufacturing bases within Japan and to further advance as mother factories. To overcome such management issues, we will hold a seminar focused on the "strategy for strengthening the domestic factory's constitution and resilience" to become winners in a globally and discontinuously changing market. This seminar will explain how to "maximize the efficiency of management resources (people, equipment, skills, know-how)" and "stabilize and solidify production systems." Additionally, we will present reform case studies from two companies that have achieved significant results.

[For Business Owners and Managers] With the appreciation of the yen, there has been an increase in overseas expansion. In the future, as factories move overseas, we must clarify the role and positioning of domestic factories. However, many domestic mother factories exist only in name, and it cannot be said that they are fulfilling their role as command centers adequately. It is crucial that development, design, purchasing, production, quality assurance, and sales collaborate and function as a seamless entity. Furthermore, rather than relying solely on cost transfer, there is a demand for total cost reduction and cost innovation. In this seminar, we will propose the ideal state of mother factories.

The Japanese manufacturing industry is facing an unprecedentedly harsh environment due to factors such as the earthquake, the appreciation of the yen leading to a shift in production overseas, and power shortages. In light of the significant disaster we have experienced, let's take a moment to reconsider the advantages of manufacturing and what we should focus on moving forward. There are still many things we must do and can do. However, in reality, middle management and team members on the ground struggle to maintain a strong commitment to achieving results, and reforms are progressing slowly. I hear many discussions about the lack of opinions and ideas. For those top executives and management who are concerned about breaking through such situations, please join us.

Having experienced the major disaster of the earthquake, let's take a moment to reconsider the advantages of manufacturing in Tohoku and what we should focus on. There are still many things that need to be done and can be done. However, in reality, the middle management and team members on the ground struggle to maintain a strong commitment to achieving results, and reforms are progressing very slowly. I hear many discussions about the lack of opinions and ideas. For those leaders and executives who wish to break through such situations, please join us.

In this seminar, we will explain the manufacturing and indirect department reform programs that must be advanced now in response to the rapidly changing external environment and aimed at improving corporate performance. ■ Business owners and executives who have the following concerns are invited to join: - They do not know how to continuously promote the efficiency of indirect departments to reduce manufacturing costs. - The operations of indirect departments have become dependent on individuals, resulting in a black box situation where the necessity cannot be understood. - They are unable to perform essential tasks such as improving production efficiency, enhancing quality, and proposing manufacturing technologies. - The indirect departments are expanding despite the inability to expect an increase in production volume.

The voices of companies struggling with bloated indirect departments are growing louder by the day. Many companies are hitting a wall with methods that are only written in textbooks, such as business inventory and 2S, and practical improvement methods have yet to be established. Since its founding, Tekuno Management has been tackling this issue for 31 years and has developed a method through practical guidance. The ideal state of indirect departments is to be a self-managed organization that creates value, optimizes value, and can flexibly respond to changes in the environment. In this seminar, we will explain the essence of the OVM (Office Value Management) method that our company has established and supports in execution.

Management Innovation Seminar: Strengthening Domestic Operations to Further Increase Profits - "Strategies for Enhancing the Function of Mother Factories" The strong yen has led to an increase in overseas expansion. In the future, as factories move overseas, we must clarify the role and positioning of domestic factories. However, many domestic mother factories exist only in name and cannot be said to fulfill their role as command centers adequately. It is crucial that development, design, purchasing, production, quality assurance, and sales work together and function as a seamless entity. Furthermore, rather than relying solely on cost transfer, total cost reduction and cost innovation are required. In this seminar, we will propose the ideal form of mother factories.

"Current production is achieved with fewer personnel! Strengthening our structure through the Living Human Project." ■ Business owners and executives facing the following issues are invited to attend: - There are many challenges in human response to fluctuations in production volume. - Financial performance is significantly affected by declines in production volume. - Daily operations are overwhelming, leading to a backlog of issues. - Planned equipment capacity is not being fully utilized. - Skills and know-how are not being passed down, resulting in unstable quality. - The organization and personnel are not energized (feeling forced, sense of stagnation). This seminar is organized for executives who wish to engage in the following activities: (1) "We want to create a structure that can generate profits even when production volume fluctuates (decreases)." (2) "We want to achieve prices and costs that can compete with overseas production, even domestically." (3) "We want to transform into a vibrant management structure involving all levels of employees—top, middle, and bottom." Additionally, we will introduce case studies of two companies that have achieved significant results. Please refer to the brochure for more details!
