Rear Admiral Takuo Godo - Productivity Promoter in Japan

The success of Toyota in cost reduction, productivity improvement, and international competitiveness and its celebrated Toyota Production System, fulfilled the dream of Yoichi Ueno (that Japan can guide US in improved practices of efficiency improvement). The success of #Toyota and the World Class #TPS was  built on the sustained efforts many Japanese persons who understood Taylor and Gilbreth's writings and improvised them in implementing them in Japanese companies.





In 1924, Rear Admiral Takuo Godo the Superintendent of Kure Navy Yard, summarized the status of efficiency in various societies in Osaka Efficiency Exhibition. He pointed that at that time, average British steel worker was 5.3 time and US worker 7 times more productive than a Japanese worker. He advocated that scientific management has to be implemented as fast as possible in Japan to bridge the productivity gap.
