The first 2024 study tour to Japan on “Lean Management” organized by Yongning’er has concluded successfully.

To support Yongning’er Group’s ongoing efforts to build a “lean management” system and to develop an operations and management team that meets the demands of the new era, in accordance with Chairman Li Yongshui’s directive—“Go out and broaden your horizons; acquire new skills and transform your mindset”—the first 2024 study tour group from Yongning’er Group’s Anji base production management system arrived in Tokyo, Japan, on the afternoon of May 11, 2024.

The cultural charm of Tokyo, the modern vibrancy of Ginza, and the breathtaking beauty of Mount Fuji left a deep impression on the study tour group as they not only savored the unique flavors of a foreign land but also gained profound insights into Japan’s stringent environmental protection measures, rational spatial planning, efficient resource utilization, and clean, civilized urban landscape.

The study tour group visited the Panasonic Memorial Museum, the Toyota Motor Corporation Exhibition Hall, the Toyota Textile Museum, and Kyocera Corporation—leading Japanese companies that have risen rapidly and gained worldwide acclaim since World War II. A common thread behind their success is this: the founders of these companies were exceptionally dedicated; the companies placed great emphasis on R&D and innovation; they used resources efficiently and sparingly; their management was meticulous and standardized; they maintained a cost leadership position; and they delivered first-class quality and service.

Through their visit to the Panasonic Memorial Museum, all participants gained the profound realization that running a successful enterprise is not merely about generating profits—it’s even more important to create value for society and to cultivate a sense of reverence and gratitude toward all things. At the Toyota Exhibition Hall, the evolution and development of Toyota Corporation were showcased in great detail. By examining the exhibits—including physical objects, photographs, written materials, and audiovisual historical records—each member of the study tour group developed a deeper understanding of the core principles of lean thinking and “lean production.” Lean production involves eliminating all forms of waste, maximizing production efficiency, and optimizing quality. It serves as the guiding principle for on-site enterprise management and represents both the origin and foundation of management in manufacturing enterprises.

At the Inamori Kazuo Memorial Hall of Kyocera Corporation, the trainees held deep admiration for Mr. Inamori Kazuo’s management philosophy and his values of “revering heaven and loving people.” As the “Saint of Japanese Management” who was deeply versed in traditional Chinese Confucian culture, Inamori Kazuo’s management philosophy and methods—including his “altruistic heart, passion for work, earnest and diligent effort, genuine courage, emphasis on experience, alignment of direction, prioritizing thrift, practicing on-site management, never giving up until success is achieved, and the five-step work instruction method”—left the trainees thoroughly impressed and profoundly inspired.

“Seeing is believing; learning paves the way to the future.” During this study tour to Japan, each participant had the opportunity to personally experience the cultural atmosphere of “lean management” in its place of origin. This hands-on exposure enabled them to deeply appreciate lean management’s pivotal role in on-site management within manufacturing enterprises. Participants also gained a profound understanding of the cultural traits shared by Japanese companies—traits such as dedication, thrift, focus, professionalism, meticulousness, and the relentless pursuit of high quality. As a result, all participants broadened their horizons, gained valuable insights, reaped tangible benefits, and developed a strong desire to apply what they’ve learned. By putting their knowledge into practice, they will undoubtedly inject fresh momentum into Yongning’s new journey toward high-quality development.

The summer sun is blazing, and the lush greenery of myriad trees brims with vitality.

Operating Guidelines for Yongning Er Group Corporation in the Second Half of 2025

At the Business Work Conference held in the first half of 2025, Chairman Li pointed out that during the first half of the year, the international situation remained turbulent, the global economy struggled to recover, domestic demand contracted, and overcapacity became severe. Internal competition and industry reshuffling were intertwined and compounded. Faced with unprecedented pressures and challenges, Yongning’er Group demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability, drawing on its 35-year heritage in management, its robust product portfolio, and its deep market experience. With a focus on “adjusting capacity to mitigate risks,” the group decisively implemented production restrictions and inventory reductions, strategically slowing down its growth pace. At the same time, it intensified internal efforts, adopted a long-term perspective, continuously strengthened and supplemented supply chains, developed specialized, refined, and innovative product lines, pursued excellence in product quality, and deepened its market presence to ensure stability. By combining survival strategies with adaptive measures and driving both breakthroughs and development, the group adopted a comprehensive approach that enabled it to maintain, under the premise of production restrictions, a valuable balance between production and sales and ensure safe operations—a feat that was truly hard-won!
