About this Presentation
This presentation discusses the Japanese business culture, kaizen (improvement), TOC in Japan (2003), Japan’s public works construction dilemma (moving from spiraling costs, unhappy public, and late projects cost human lives), a prerequisite tree for changing the construction industry (moving to customers believe that critical chain (CC) is worth trying to more and more customers adopt critical chain). The first critical chain implementation and its results and the one-day response project for government are discussed. The CC is a win-win-win for citizens, public works office and contractors. TOC and Wa (harmony) are discussed.
