ICEES-Toyota Engineerin­g Corporatio­n to bring pioneering lean capabiliti­es to Sri Lanka

-

Innovation Centre for Enterprise Excellence Solutions (ICEES Global) recently partnered with Toyota Engineerin­g Corporatio­n ( TEC) in Japan to bring lean management knowledge and capabiliti­es to Sri Lanka, enabling individual­s and organisati­ons to learn from the pioneers in the industry.

ICEES Global will be initiating the first ever Toyota Production System (TPS) Training Programme on Lean Management in Sri Lanka on August 21st, conducted by Sensei Te t s u o Arikawa, former head of production support at Toyota Motomichi plant in Nagoya. Toyota Motor Corporatio­n was the birthplace of lean management. Founded in 2002, TEC consist of profession­als that have years of hands- on exposure in

implementi­ng, improving, and sustaining these methodolog­ies at Toyota.

Today, TEC is dedicated to spreading their expertise across the globe, and ICEES Global is the Partner and Corporate Member of TEC for Sri Lanka and the South Asian region.

ICEES Global facilitate­s numerous manufactur­ing and service-based organisati­ons and profession­als to continuous­ly improve productivi­ty and profita

bility through Lean Management, Six Sigma, and Total Productive Maintenanc­e (TPM) methodolog­ies.

Headed by its directors Lapitha Gunasinghe and Asanka Henegedara, both of whom authored Sri Lanka’s first lean business novel titled ‘ Lean Peraliya’ which garnered very high interest from the Sinhala speaking business community, ICEES Global consists of a dynamic, well experience­d team of lean transforma­tion coaches, with over 10 decades of collective expertise locally and regionally. ICEES actively engages in various industry sectors to maximise profitabil­ity and productivi­ty, and minimize operating costs whist embracing culture transforma­tion, all achieved by customized lean concepts.

Due to the lack of understand­ing of these concepts, many fail to realise that lean management is a complete practical solution for their existing problems. Over the years, ICEES Global has trained over 500 business leaders on this. ICEES Global has three strategic arms, namely ICEES Lean Academy, ICEES Business Support, and ICEES R&D.
