This course is designed to give comprehensive and systematic knowledge about the essential features of Japanese world-class manufacturers concerning their production systems and manufacturing strategies. The features are compared with those of typical American and European counterparts. We would like to examine not only the concrete practices known as JIT, kanban system, TQM, kaizen, concurrent engineering, etc. but also fundamental thinking or philosophy toward production management underlying those practices. Faced with severe competition in global markets and excess appreciation of yen, however, most Japanese manufacturing companies have been rethinking about their philosophy and strategies established during the long time of high growth, which has forced some of the practices to be changed or damaged. Those recent problems and challenges for Japan based manufacturing companies must be discussed and analyzed by means of fundamental techniques for empirical research.

1. The instructor delivers a short lecture on each topic included in the syllabus and the textbook.
2. The instructor leads the discussion on case materials provided via YNU-LMS. After accessing the YNU-LMS, find the master's course named "Study on Operations and Supply Chain Management," not "Operations Management" and make provisional registration to the master's course, please. Then, you will be able to open and download teaching materials. This course will be delivered jointly with the master's course. Active participation in the class discussions is required.
3. For most of the case materials, students are required to submit case write-ups 90 minutes before the class discussion via the YNU-LMS, that is, before 9 am.
4. Students are required to make three group presentations on important case materials after thorough discussions by groups assigned. Submit a PPT file via the YNU-LMS one day before the group presentation.
5. In this semester, all the classes are delivered via Zoom Meeting besides the YNU-LMS. Instructor's lectures, class and group discussions, group presentations, Q&As are made via Zoom meeting. The URL, meeting ID, and passcode to access the Zoom meeting will be posted in YNU-LMS.
6. Occasionally, instructions will be given by message transmission to your YNU email and message board in the YNU LMS. Please make sure of reading messages at your YNU email address.
