I  read  evening Nikkei newspapers(Japanese financial newspapers)
 dated   00/03/16  that deals international standards wrote by
President of Denso Co. Ltd. Mr. Ishimaru Norio.

"After World War ?, Japanese leading companies enhanced the values
of International quality terms of Kaizen and Kanban that are production
systems of quality control and control of goods in stock. But we needs
to continues as leading manufacturing country, we immediatedly must
lead the world  as manufacturing standardizations and criterions.  In
Japan, practical use of the JIS(Japanese Industry Standadrds)  are
 gradually decreased, but substituted to universal ISO.  Unfortunatedly,
the international Japanese Voices are very faint."

He wrote finally," We must to improved and balanced manufacturing
and standardizations that influenced to future peoles."
