Pros
Leanis in the Japanese DNA; its not used as an enforcement tool but a true problem solving, defect and waste removal tool. Yamaha utilizes the skillsets of every employee. True Kaizen and Small Group functionality.

Yamaha maintains head count while daily continuing to eliminate waste and reduce cost.
Cons
