Shinka Testimonials

Bluedog Fences Australia views Shinka Management as a trusted partner and a critical component of our journey toward manufacturing excellence.

Shinka Management’s consultancy services, together with their training programs and Lean Japan Tours, have played a key role in embedding a strong culture of continuous improvement within our organisation. Amid recent market volatility, our focus on quality enhancement, cost reduction, and lead-time improvement – driven by their guidance – has enabled us to thrive. Notably, advancements in material flow and our adoption of 5S methodologies have made significant and measurable contributions to our profitability.

The Shinka Management team has actively engaged with personnel at every level of our business, from senior executives to frontline operators. Their consultants leverage extensive practical experience to connect with and inspire our workforce, making lean manufacturing principles accessible and actionable. Moreover, their support is enriched by a wealth of resources, including photos, videos, and case studies originating from Japan and around the globe. These authentic, real-world examples have empowered our team to rethink and improve our manufacturing processes independently, enhancing both morale and operational efficiency.

Such has been the transformation on our shop floor that it now serves as a sales showroom for customers and visitors, reinforcing confidence in our brand and manufacturing capabilities. Bluedog Fences Australia’s substantial progress in our continuous improvement journey would not have been achievable without our valued partnership with Shinka Management.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Eri Dennis of Shinka Management for her support with our week-long engagement in regional Australia facilitating a visit to our Australian partner and providing Japanese-English interpreting support.

Despite the challenging circumstances, Eri handled the situation with great flexibility, and even went beyond her regular duties. We were impressed by Eri’s energy and work ethic, and it was thanks to her tremendous efforts that we were able to achieve our difficult objectives within the very limited time we had available. Further, the trust we built with our Australian partner is something that could not have been achieved without Eri’s facilitation.

We cannot express our gratitude enough in words. We look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.

Together with Shinka Management, Rieter China reached a new level of lean production capability. Through site workshops and on-site support we could develop our staff with the latest lean methodologies. The direct link between theory and practice was the main driver for the successful development of our lean program here in China. Our Production and Management teams learned a lot from Hyodo Sensei’s extensive production management experience. Thanks to this support we implemented continuous improvement practices in all production departments, including a successful lean office program!

Engaging Shinka Management was the best thing ever. The training was a great way of getting people on different levels involved on the pathway of improvement. The course was conducted very professionally and in a way that you had to get involved, and it was fun! It was good to see how to prepare and present improvements to management to ensure a successful result. All up a great course and I would recommend it to anybody who is looking for improvements without spending too much on capital.
