鸡年吉祥！新春伊始， LEC同仁托大家的福，从去年就开始为大家筹备2017峰会的精彩节目。
第12届全球精益高峰论坛将于2017年6月7-9日在上海复旦皇冠假日酒店举办。
今年的主题将沿袭“企业精益转型”的大框架，围绕“企业升级”与“产品开发”两个课题。
企业实施精益转型的目的是改变当前的运营方式与企业文化，提升竞争力，以期企业升级。我们很荣幸地邀请到美国精益企业研究院（LEI）运营总监，Mark Reich先生来分享“可持续的企业全方位精益转型”。更难得的是我们请到海尔全球CTO Kelvin Nolan先生来分享他们两人在美国合作，主导美国通用家电集团GE Appliance企业升级的故事。这是一个印证“精益转型框架”可行性的好案例。
产品是一个企业的命脉。如何能快速、轻松地开发出满足顾客需求的硬件以及软件产品，并把开发过程中挖掘出来的知识与经验积累起来，正是精益产品开发（LPD）追求的愿景。我们很高兴地邀请到前NEC美国副总裁，《产品开发的本质思考》作者，稻垣公夫先生主讲“LPD在日本企业的应用”。海尔CTO Nolan先生将分享海尔在四个不同国家的研发基地推展“产品开发全球化”的机会与挑战。
其他演讲嘉宾包括霍尼韦尔特性材料与技术集团亚太区副总裁余锋先生、丰田台湾前任总工程师吴广洋先生、澳洲丰田TPS办公室高级经理刘德敏博士。两位来自丰田的嘉宾将为我们揭开久闻其名，但不知其中奥秘的两个核心体系：丰田总工程师体系，以及丰田能力构建体系的神秘面纱，一窥庐山真面目。
来自中航、博世中国、华尔推剪、日本理光、EMAG、荣富等知名中外企业的领导们将分享各自在不同行业里，从离散性制造管理，供应链推行精益，传统文化精益管理，以及精益创新等不同方向的精益实践。他们的经验教训与心得相信会为大家带来莫大的价值。
我们在峰会前，特别为大家准备了两个Workshop，分别请两位国际大师主讲：
培训一
JTBD – 以客户为中心的产品规划新工具（中英文）
产品设计开发过程中需要倾听客户的声音，问题是，客户往往并不知道想要什么。那么该如何去满足客户的需求呢？
培训二
HOSHIN KANRI – 企业战略部署与组织协同 （英文）
如何有效地将职能工作和企业目标挂钩？战略部署是一个有效的管理工具引领职能部门紧密追随企业战略目标前进。
“全球精益高峰论坛”是LEC每年为中国精益圈朋友们组织的一个“学习与分享”平台。诚挚地欢迎大家来参加，学习全球最前沿的精益知识与应用。希望大家借鉴中外企业的优秀案例，获得启发后产生新创意，为各自企业创造更大效益。六月上海见。
赵克强博士
精益企业中国总裁

We wish you a healthy and prosperous Year of Rooster!
LEC team started to design 2017 Lean Summit program since last July. I am pleased to inform you that the 12th Global Lean Summit will be held on Jun3 7-9, 2017 at Shanghai FuDan Crown Plaza Hotel.
This year’s conference theme is “Lean Transformation – Lean Turnaround and Product Development.
Transformation means change; changing existing company operations and culture to turnaround in order to improve competitiveness and make profit. We are honored to invite Mr. Mark Reich, COO of Lean Enterprise Institute (LEI) to speak on “Sustaining Lean Transformation across enterprise”. In pairing with the presentation, we invute Mr. Kevin Nolan, CTO Haier, to share with us the lean transformation case that he and Mark worked together at GE Appliance in Kentucky, US prior to its acquisition by Haier. The great story was presented at Lean summit in USA, now you can hear it from the same cast in China!
Product is a enter piece of any company. How to develop new products meeting customer needs in a speedy way within a budget and how to keep the knowledge being developed in house for future usage are what Lean Product Development (LPD) wants to accomplish. We are pleased to present Mr. Kimio Inagaki, the author of “The Essential Thinking for Product Development” to speak on LPD concept and its applications in Japan. Following that, Mr. Nolan will share with us his current task at Haier “Globalizing Product Development”.
The other distinguished speakers include Mr. William Yu, VP and General Manager of Honeywell Special Material & Technology; Mr. G.Y. Wu, former Chief Engineer at Toyota Taiwan; and Dr. Lucy Liu, Senior Manager, Capability Building & TPS Office at Toyota Australia. We are very fortunate to have these two experts to reveal two important Toyota systems that very few people understand: “Toyota Chief Engineer System” and “Toyota Capability Building System”. We are very proud to have them sharing their first hand experience with us.
Many business leaders from China Aerospace, Bosch China, Wahl Clipper, Ricoh, EMAG and Rongfu will speak on individual company’s lean applications in high mix lean manufacturing, supplier chain management, Chinese traditional culture with lean management, and lean innovation respectively We appreciate their unselfishness in sharing knowledge and lessons learned with other lean practitioners.
As in the past, we will host two small group pre-summit workshops on Wednesday. We are proud to present:
Workshop 1
“JTBD – A Roadmap for Customer-centered Innovation” in English & Chinese by Mr. Inagaki (35 seats)
We always think that we need to listen to the voice of customers in the process of product design and development. But actually customers often do not know what they want. So how to meet their demand? The workshop will combine lecture (30%) and exercises with group coaches (70%).
Workshop 2
”Strategy Deployment and Alignment through Hoshin” in English by Mr. Reich Hoshin planning is a management system that aligns an organization’s functions and activities with its strategic objectives. (45 seats)
Global Lean Summit is a”Learning and Sharing” platform LEC prepares for Chinese lean community every year. We hope you will grasp the opportunity to join us to learn these new frontier lean development and applications. I am sure that you will be enlightened by the stories and lessons learned at the conference.
Looking forward to seeing you in June!
Dr. Marcus Chao, President
Lean Enterprise China
