Abstract

This research aims to discover one of the forms of excellence, namely the application of Kaizen as a basic philosophy rooted in Japanese culture, which is one of the keys to the success of Japanese business and industry globally. This research method uses descriptive qualitative. The results of the study show that the application of Kaizen is perfect and suitable for long-term implementation. Numerous instruments are now available for use in production and various stages of the value chain with the goal of enhancing both product quality and operational efficiency. Nonetheless, kaizen can be viewed as one of the fundamental lean methods. One of the main components of Japanese management and a source of competitiveness is the implementation of Kaizen, or continuous improvement. Cost savings, less waste, and higher-quality products are all results of an efficient continuous improvement program. Kaizen is a technique that many businesses have embraced to improve production efficiency and attain business excellence, thanks to Japan's success. Even though kaizen has been widely adopted worldwide and has improved performance in numerous businesses, a lot of issues and challenges with its application may be discovered outside of Japan. The significance and severity of the many aspects that impact the Kaizen transfer process differ depending on the nation in which Kaizen is implemented. Therefore, despite its seeming simplicity, kaizen is a complex process that must be tailored to the environment's unique characteristics while taking into account a wide range of influencing elements.

Abstract

This study examines the historical development and implications of Japanese Indonesian cooperation in the automotive sector. While bilateral relations between these nations encompass multiple industries, the automotive sector, particularly passenger vehicles, represents a critical engagement area. The research employs a qualitative, descriptive methodology to analyze this economic relationship. Despite Indonesia's diverse industrial landscape—spanning manufacturing, fisheries, maritime resources, forestry, automotive production, and mining—the automotive sector has emerged as one of the country's top ten export commodities. Japan, a global leader in automotive manufacturing, has actively pursued bilateral cooperation in this sector. However, Indonesia's challenges in meeting established targets have hindered the full realization of planned initiatives. The study reveals an asymmetric relationship characterized by Indonesia's growing dependence on Japan's automotive industry. This dependency is evidenced by several key indicators: escalating imports from Japan, relatively low Indonesian export values, substantial Japanese investment flows, and the dominant market presence of Japanese manufacturers like Toyota and Nissan. As a result, Indonesia has primarily evolved into a significant consumer market for Japanese automotive products rather than developing as an independent manufacturer. Critically, this study finds how bilateral cooperation between Japan and Indonesia, while offering certain benefits, has simultaneously strengthened patterns of economic dependency in the Indonesian automotive sector.

Abstract

Kanji is a Chinese character that was adopted and widely used in East Asian countries including Japan and several countries in Indochina region. Unlike the characters used by the nations of the world in general, the majority of which symbolize sound, Kanji are letters that symbolize meaning. Therefore, the number of Kanji characters is very large and the shapes and variations are very complicated. For Japanese learners, Kanji has an important meaning in mastering written language such as writing and reading. The kanji used by the Japanese have experienced adjustments, especially in terms of how to read which is adjusted to Japanese pronunciation. The large number, varied reading styles, and simple to complex letterforms make Kanji considered difficult by Japanese learners from non-Kanji countries such as Indonesia. The advantages of Kanji letters are compact, the meaning can be immediately grasped, and beautifully written as if they are covered by the growing perception that Kanji is difficult due to the learning method that emphasizes the aspect of memorizing letter forms. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to develop a more interesting Kanji learning method by emphasizing understanding the meaning, especially for early-level learners so that they are interested and enthusiastic in learning Kanji so that it supports the Japanese learning process in general. One of the learning methods is the pictogram method which associates Kanji with its true meaning. ====== Kanji merupakan huruf Cina yang diadopsi dan digunakan secara luas di negara-negara Asia Timur termasuk Jepang dan beberapa negara di wilayah Indocina. Berbeda dengan aksara yang digunakan bangsa-bangsa di dunia pada umumnya yang mayoritas melambangkan bunyi, Kanji merupakan huruf yang melambangkan makna/arti. Oleh karena itu, jumlah huruf Kanji sangat banyak dan bentuk serta variasinya sangat rumit. Bagi pembelajar bahasa Jepang, Kanji memiliki arti penting dalam penguasaan bahasa tulis seperti mengarang dan membaca. Kanji yang digunakan oleh bangsa Jepang mengalami penyesuaian terutama dalam hal cara baca yang disesuaikan dengan pelafalan bahasa Jepang. Jumlah yang banyak, cara baca yang bervariasi, dan bentuk huruf yang sederhana hingga rumit membuat Kanji dianggap sulit oleh pembelajar bahasa Jepang dari negara-negara non-Kanji seperti Indonesia. Keunggulan huruf Kanji yang ringkas (compact), langsung dapat ditangkap maknanya, dan indah dituliskan seakan tertutupi oleh persepsi yang berkembang bahwa Kanji itu sulit akibat metode pembelajaran yang lebih menekankan pada aspek menghafal bentuk huruf. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut perlu dikembangkan suatu metode pembelajaran Kanji yang lebih menarik dengan menekankan pada pemahaman makna, khususnya bagi pembelajar tingkat awal agar mereka tertarik dan bersemangat dalam mempelajari Kanji sehingga mendukung proses pembelajaran bahasa Jepang secara umum. Metode pembelajaran tersebut salah satunya adalah metode pictogram yang mengasosiasikan Kanji dengan makna sebenarnya.
