7. For the first time, the Kaizen philosophy applied in a number of Japanese companies in the late 1940-ies. Now this method is

used by such distinguished companies as Toyota, Nissan, Canon, Honda,
Komatsu, and Matsushita.

8. In the 1970s, Toyota has led a very talented top Manager — Mr. Taiichi Ohno. He always believed in the power and talent of

their
subordinates and were confident
that if you give them the necessary
powers, they will be able to solve
any problems.

9. He often used this approach. For example, Toyota's goal was to produce 100 units per hour. Then It gave their engineers and

resources are allowed to produce only 90 units, but required them to
produce all 100. Since they could not immediately do this, they had to either work overtime or to
come up urgently with some improvement in order to cope with the task. When the engineers finally
invented the method of solving the problem, he was removed from this production line 10% of the
workers and threw them to another area. And the rest are again required to produce 100 units of
output.
So Toyota has become a global brand
