BREAKOUT: JISHUKEN Bryant Sanders Jishuken — Connecting Results and People Development: The Toyota Production System (TPS) is a set of philosophies, management methods, and tools/techniques used to meet business needs, lead times and efficiencies with safety and quality as absolute preconditions. Continuous improvement and mutual respect are two pillars of TPS and Jishuken demonstrates these two pillars. At Toyota, Jishuken is defined as the self study of TPS and is used to achieve results and to develop people - to strengthen the company. The key to Jishuken is setting kaizen direction, confirming targets and strategies, committing key cross functional resources, going to “gemba” and coaching on the shop floor – in order to create the right environment for TPS study and learning.

BREAKOUT: COMPRESSION Robert W. “Doc” Hall From Lean Thinking to Compression Thinking: The theme of Compression is that challenges of the past pale in comparison with those of the near future. The concepts of work, work organization, efficiency and success need rethinking and the lean movement needs to take on bigger challenges. Five hundred years of conventional economic expansion is ending rapidly compared with the slow pace at which humans adapt to change. We have to learn how to do much more while using much less in many arenas of human activity and how to see what we do in physical terms as more important than financial ones. SPONSOR SESSION: TAX CREDIT ADVISORS Doc Hall is Professor Emeritus of Operations Management at the Kelley School of Business, Indiana University, is a founding member of AME, and editor emeritus of the association’s publication, Target.

This session will provide a brief overview of the various programs and requirements, and will include a Q&A session to answer your specific questions. Many companies receive many thousands—even millions of dollars in benefits each year under these programs. Shouldn’t your company be one of them? 16 17
