(Quality Digest: Chico, CA) -- Here is your chance to listen to and learn from someone who helped develop, improve, and expand Toyota’s production system!

This is a rare opportunity to learn genba kaizen from Chihiro Nakao at the 2017 Shingijutsu Super Kaizen, held May 1–5, 2017, on site at Connecticut-based Whitcraft LLC, a highly successful practitioner of Shingijutsu Kaizen. This five-day workshop is dedicated to introduce first-time attendees to the Shingijutsu Kaizen method, and to further refine the training—a learn-do approach to understanding kaizen—given in seminars during April 2016.
