On the back of a successful Lean Leadership Master Class held in Riga in 2018, Shinka Management and Latvian partner Bizef will again be holding this course in 2019.
The Lean Leadership Master Class is a unique opportunity to learn the key fundamentals of the Toyota Production System from a leading TPS practitioner and trainer. As a Toyota factory manager and lean leader, Kazumasa Hattori has built a 35 year career as a Toyota Production System Sensei fostering TPS within Toyota, its supply-chain, and more recently within global industry.

Hattori Sensei
The lean training will be led by Hattori Sensei, a former manager at the Toyota factory in Japan responsible for the manufacture of the Toyota HiAce vehicle, and a factory manager at one of the Toyota Group’s major parts suppliers. Now retired as a factory manager, Hattori Sensei is a senior consultant with Shinka Management and a trainer at the Toyota Dojo (Toyota training facility) of that Toyota factory, providing kaizen training courses for companies in Toyota’s supply chain. Hattori Sensei is also a leader of Shinka Management’s Lean Japan Tour held several times annually in Japan.
In addition to his senior management roles with Toyota, Hattori Sensei has worked in logistics, press shop and paint shop environments within the Toyota Group’s Gifu Auto Body. His strengths lie in implementing cost reduction programs, productivity improvements, quality kaizen and logistics optimisation through the application of TPS principles.
