Event Overview

• Facing with the surging inflation rate in current China, a lot of manufacturers have to reduce their products' price;
• With the enacting of latest <Law of the people's republic of China on employment contracts>, labor cost in current China is not as cheap as it used to be.
• "Are Chinese food safe enough?" "Why there are so many recalls of toys made in China?" More and more "Made in China" products are questioned by other countries.
• Exports revenue of some industries is reduced due to the cut of export tariff rebates
• Upholding a more strict policy of environment protection, companies from all industries must invest a lot in energy saving.

We can't help ask ourselves: "What can we do to rescue us from the ever-shrinking profit in manufacturing industry?"

After 30 years' spread of lean thinking in China, we have to admit that big waste still exists among many manufacturers. Lean Manufacturing faces huge challenge in current China.

• Small amount of kaizen opinions due to the rigid hierarchies of Chinese organization
• Lack of rigorous, long-term effort to make lean-manufacturing initiatives pay off
• "Train today, lose tomorrow"
• Incorrect lean target setting at early stage
• Deep-seated sense of hierarchy and inherent sense of losing face
