簡林苗

專長

Thirty years inside the Toyota system, serving as senior manager in finance, procurement and the TPS Promotion Centre, including a three-year secondment to Toyota's China headquarters. Within our consulting team he leads the introduction stage — turning TPS from a concept into something the shop floor can actually execute, which is the hardest and most common place for programmes to stall.

His expertise spans three areas:

1. Toyota Production System implementation: 5S, production, quality, logistics, equipment maintenance, supply chain management and production preparation.
2. Business management: policy deployment (hoshin kanri) and structured problem solving.
3. Financial management: cost planning for new products, cost control in mass production, and capital management.

Advisory work covers TPS implementation on the factory floor, production-preparation management and cost-planning obeya activities for new product development, business management and financial management.

His background as a procurement and finance manager means he reads waste on the floor and cost structure on the books at the same time. On supplier collaboration and cost questions, that dual view moves the discussion past "can we do it" to "is it worth doing".

MBA, Chung Yuan Christian University.

代表案例

Keynote speaker at the 2025 briefing for the Industrial Development Administration's "Digitalised Lean Management (TPS) Subsidy Programme", presenting "From Fundamentals to Lean Digitalisation and R&D". The briefing was jointly presented by the Industrial Development Administration (MOEA), the Industrial Technology Research Institute and the Taiwan Association of Machinery Industry; the title slide identifies him as the programme's TPS implementation consultant.

The session walked through real coaching cases: the shift from batch module production to one-piece flow, assembly time reduction, rework of a difficult wiring operation, and the introduction of cloud-based self-inspection sheets to achieve process completion at source and reduce customer complaints.
