Article Type: News From: International Journal of Productivity and Performance Management, Volume 58, Issue 5
The work of the Jamaica Productivity Centre (JPC) is expected to be enhanced over the next two years with the attachment of a Japanese productivity consultant.
Makato Oyama was recently introduced to public and private sector leaders at a breakfast meeting at which State Minister in the Ministry of Labour and Social Security Andrew Gallimore welcomed Oyama to Jamaica and thanked the Japan International Cooperation Agency for its support in this endeavour.
JPC Chairman Joseph A. Matalon revealed that Oyama, who is a product improvement specialist with more than 30 years experience in his field, will be working alongside senior productivity specialist in the Technical Advisory Servcies Unit where he will be advising a number of public and private sector organisations of ways in which they can improve productivity.
