Monozukuri is the process of making things; it conveys the deep pride and dedication invested in developing high quality products and constantly improving the production process. The purpose of this seminar is to elucidate the "Monozukuri" method.  Japanese and American companies will learn how they might apply "Monozukuri" practices.  The Monozukuri Seminar has attracted hundreds of attendees throughout the MidWest.  Lexington is pleased to bring the program to the manufacturing community throughout the South. 

日本の「ものづくり精神」を北米の自動車産業関係者で共有してもらうことをねらいとして企画されたこの「ものづくりセミナー」は、２００７年４月にシカゴで初めて開催されたのを皮切りに、米国中西部を中心すでに４回開催されており、多くの自動車産業関連の方々にご参加いただいております。この度、ジェトロシカゴセンターと、ケンタッキー日米協会の共催により、このセミナーが、レキシントンで開催されます。
