Information for the Toyohashi Seminar

■ Background of the Event

Labor shortages, rising costs, and unsold products—the environment surrounding small and medium-sized manufacturers is becoming increasingly severe year by year. Many business owners feel that 'the現場 (gemba, or production site) should be more proactive,' but are forced to maintain the status quo without clear solutions. As changes driven by AI and robots accelerate, securing and developing human resources has become the top management challenge.

Factory Improvement Service Co., Ltd. held its first seminar in Toyohashi in February 2026, which was well-received. Building on this success, they will conduct a total of three consecutive seminars in the Tokai and Kanto regions with updated content including the latest case studies.
