Team Leaders
Our Shingijutsu
team is led by Mr. Nakao, our founder and Jutsu Shu, and Mr. Nagamatsu,
our CEO.
Mr. Nakao spent the first 27 years of his career working for the
Toyota Group where he was mentored and trained by Mr. Ohno, originator
of the Toyota Production System (TPS). Mr. Nakao was a part of
the original autonomous study groups initiated by Ohno who ultimately
came up the basic philosophy and approach of TPS. Mr. Nakao founded
the Shingijutsu Company in 1987 at the behest of Mr. Ohno.
Mr.
Nakao has dedicated himself to spreading the principles of the
Toyota Production System around the world to create the Global
Production System. Mr. Nakao was recently appointed Jutsu
Shu, and is now the owner and steward of the company’s art
and practices. This is important since it ensures the art or technology
and its practice are current, effective and is used correctly by
all sensei. Mr. Nagamatsu also spent 27 years with the Toyota
Group becoming a skilled and influential leader of the Toyota Production
System. He joined the Shingijutsu team 15 years ago and in 2007,
Mr. Nagamatsu was promoted to CEO of the company.
