US-Japan Industry and Technology Management Training Program

Abstract

The Japan Technology Management Program at the University of Michigan began in late September 1991. The Program operated under three separate grants from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the final one from September 1995-March 2000. The program had three major areas of effort: research; outreach and dissemination to industry and the military; and student programs. Major accomplishments of the grant included the publication of two books, the growth and increased importance to industry of the annual Lean Manufacturing Conference, and the increased involvement of students in internship to Japan and in lean manufacturing activities.
