Pursue Ideal Best Practice
Considering the capabilities of SEATC, Fukushima decided to give priority to the development of a new enzymatic reaction. He also decided to have his process engineers develop a simplified process to reduce cost of new plant. Both of these projects are estimated to last five years.
Implementation of these practices will yield a cost per ton of $158.
Provide People and Resources
Realising that he needed his very best people to implement the planned changes and improvements, Fukushima decided to select - to use his words - self actualised team members to spearhead the projects.
Repeat
Fukushima began this journey about eighteen months ago and is well on the way to achieving the future best practice targets. He realises that the very successes they achieve will give birth to new stalls and is already on the look out for the next 2000 Percent Solution opportunity.
