SHINGO INSTITUE OF JAPANESE MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Shingo Institute of Japanese Management was started by K S Madhavan & Associates, one of the leading management consultants providing consultancy service in the areas of technical, manufacturing, HR, financial and general management areas together with Asa Bhanu Japan Centre, Hyderabad. Shingo Institute provides training to employees of organisations, and focuses on conducting workshops and seminars.

Shingo Institute has published books on Japanese management techniques as covered elsewhere in this note. Shingo Institute addresses consultancy issues from all levels of an organisation, that is, from top management to the lowest level workmen - including casual labour and contract labour. If an organisation has to implement any initiative successfully whether in the field of quality, general health or profitability of the company, every member of the organisation should be a part of the transformation process. Mainly the consultancy work is taken by K S Madhavan & Associates with support provided by Shingo Institute faculty and consultants. Their work has been mainly focussed on organisational transformation, change management, organisation restructuring, TEI (Total Employee Involvement), quality enhancement, environment management and creativity development, through use of the most advanced modern management tools and techniques. In case of companies, which are already doing well, we work with them to make them globally competitive and meet the challenges of international competition. They also work with sick companies, which have a lot of problems both internal and external, transforming them and improving their health. Shingo Institute also assists public sector undertakings enabling them to become profitable. Details about K S Madhavan & Associates can be accessed through www.ksmadhavan.com. Shingo Institute together with K S Madhavan & Associates addresses consultancy issues from all levels of an organisation, that is, from top management to the lowest level workmen - including casual labour and contract labour. If an organisation has to implement any initiative successfully whether in the field of quality, general health or profitability of the company, every member of the organisation should be a part of the transformation process.
With this in mind, we use management experts with direct experience in transforming companies working right at the top level (MD/ President/ Chief Executive, etc.), senior management positions (VP/ GM, etc.) and worker teachers to teach and bring about attitudinal change among workmen and union leadership. We use consultants to work with middle level employees and middle level managers, who often are the major bottleneck in any transformation process, and with the top management. Unless there is a total support and readiness to change at the top level, from the instructive and directive mode to a supportive and empathetic leadership, no transformation will be meaningful and long lasting.
