My Background

I started my career in the hospitality industry in Singapore in 1990 and spent the next 15 years in the industry. During this time I worked in various set ups ranging from 5 star hotels to life style restaurants chains.

My passion has been always people development and this led me to leave the hospitality industry and pursue a career as a freelance F&B Consultant/Trainer. I provided consultancy services on restaurant set-ups, developing service and operating manuals. A key component of my consultancy service was F&B Service training where I designed and developed customized F&B service-training programs for clients, which I conducted myself.

As a Consultant, I was engaged by a F&B consultancy firm who had been appointed to provide F&B management and in-patient dining services to Prince Court Medical Centre.  My accountabilities were to develop the in-patients dining services SOP. I was also responsible for developing and conducting service training for the entire F&B department.

I was offered an opportunity to join a HR consultancy firm as a L&D consultant. My passion for people development and my extensive experience in managing operations enabled to me to excel as HR Consultant.

During my tenure as a Consultant  , I have been involved in various HR Consultancy Projects as Project Manager for clients involved in property development pharmaceutical, manufacturing, education, medical  care services (private hospitals and Clinics), media, IT service providers, logistic and Insurance.

Among the clients I have served include MK Land Holdings Sdn Bhd, EMKAY Group,  KPAKK Sdn Bhd, KPMC Puchong Sdn Bhd  and Sterling Insurance Brokers .

With his recognized capability and reputation, Suzuki san then took on new challenges with Delphi Thermal Automotive Systems. He introduced and implemented the TPS concept to 10 of their plants in North America, initiating a consolidation project along with John Shook and James Womack. Between 2001 to 2005, these plants’ lead time was reduced from an average 10.2 days to <2 days, and their quality improved to 98% acceptance. Furthermore, this consolidation project successfully saved plant space by >85%, simultaneously reducing their inventory by >80% in WIP. This operation was later moved to Mexico where Toyota Motor Corporation awarded it as a Model Plant.

In the year 2007, Suzuki san set up his own company, Lean Land Laboratory Co. Ltd., a training and consultancy company specializing in introducing, training and implementing the TPS concept. Since collaborating with VA partners in 2014, numerous Malaysian SMEs have benefited from his extensive professional experience in building strong 5S and VSM foundations, both of which are key modules in TPS implementation. In complement to the training, he and VA partners, have also organised insightful Lean Study tours to Nagoya, the home of TPS.

Suzuki san believes that to successfully implement TPS, one must have a very strong foundation in 5S or TPM. Therefore, he dedicates much time in Kaizen training, Standardized Work training, Q-A Matrix and VSM training. It is his hope that with the Lean concept approach, SMEs in Malaysia will one day grow beyond their SME status.
