Mr. Peter Lo, as S-Team Chairperson and also Johnson’s President, expressed that S-Team since its establishment has entered its 3d year. Many progress has been made. The most outstanding achievement is that many of members, facing fierce industrial competition, started with suspicion and doubts; now the attitude has been changing. We talk, laugh, and share opinions and learn from each other. In the beginning the atmosphere was closed and few openness. Until now, most of us are open-minded and open factories to each other. Indeed, this is a breakthrough, ice-breaking achievement. This is a team rather than a plate of scattering sands. Undergoing the lean-production trainings to improve production, product, management, and branding marketing strategies, he believes that members have been benefited and making progress. He appreciates the professional assistance from Footwear & Recreation Technology Research Institute and Corporate Synergy Development (CSD) as well as the internal coordination from Taiwan Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (TSMA).
