Learning through Experience Hall
We have established the Learning through Experience Hall for the purpose of enabling employees to learn from past mistakes, apply that knowledge and experience to their current work, and strive for future improvements in quality.
The hall presents exhibits featuring cases of quality issues as well as the principle of absolute quality handed down by company founder Genichi Kawakami. The exhibits offer insights on applying those lessons to work, improving the prevention of quality issues and their recurrence, and help raise the awareness of quality improvement among employees.
We are also carrying out an initiative to bring those exhibits to offices and Group companies in remote locations.
Workshops by Younger Employees
We are also striving to create an open and transparent by having younger employees take the initiative in hosting workshops on planning and implementing opportunities for interactions and learning.
This activity involves inter-divisional cooperation and has participants engage in problem solving through hands-on learning.
Participants share the know-how they have gained through their day-to-day work with one another, and contribute to nurturing creativity in those who will play a key role in the future.
