In fiscal 2010 akebono integratedthis Dojo with the Basic Technique Class the purpose of whichwas to spread and disseminate appropriate standards regardingoperations conducted at each production facility and the ModelLine which was designed to demonstrate the ideal manufacturingprocess. The result of this integration was the Monozukuri Center where personnel are given the opportunity to develop in new directions.The Monozukuri Center is a place where anyone can learn andget hands-on experience of the principles of monozukuri (manufacturing)in a short period at any time while building partnershipswith other akebono associates. With the addition of the newQuality Dojo to the existing five Dojos (Safety Dojo APS Dojo Maintenance Dojo Environmental Dojo and Friction MaterialsDojo) in fiscal 2010 we now offer a wealth of learning opportunities.A particularly notable feature of the Monozukuri Center isthat all training programs include hands-on experience. The trainingprocess begins with classroom lectures followed by hands-onexperience and then qualification testing and we expect traineeparticipants to bring back truly useful skills. As of March 2011 1 326 associates in total had gone through training programs overthe last five years.In fiscal 2010 we also began taking the initiative inglobalization. Starting with the plant managers of ABCT and theAkebono Brake Columbia Plant (ABCS) in the United States weaccepted a total of 41 trainees from over seas. akebono is nowfacing its third phase of transition and the Monozukuri Center isplaying a crucial role in spreading the benefit of akebono’s monozukurias well as the benefit of Japan’s mono zukuri to overseasbases.ABCT and ABCS Plant managers taking atraining courseNew recruits at the Basic Training ClassTrainees and Monozukuri Center staffTraining seminar foroverseas traineesn Trainees from Overseas BasesIn February 2011 we welcomed seven trainees from ABCT andABCS in the United States.
