The 5-day World Class Manufacturing training provides an in-depth analysis of Japanese manufacturing methodology and is aimed exclusively at EU managers with knowledge of WCM and an engineering background. It assists the participants to acquire a better understanding of TQC (Total Quality Control), TQM (Total Quality Management), TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), JIT (Just In Time), TIE (Total Industrial Engineering) practices and the current KAIZEN manufacturing methods (continuous improvement).

Whilst normally the training course consists of lectures, workshops and visits to some of the world’s most advanced Japanese factories, this year due to Covid-19, the EU-japan Centre had to try out new ideas in order to maintain the organisation of its annual "World Class Manufacturing" training. Due to the persisting sanitary risks, the WCM training will go virtual from 16 to 20 November 2020. 17 European entrepreneurs from 13 different countries will take part in this first online edition. More information about the next training will be published in the following months.
