15No. 10 SPRING 2017One of the projects HIDA jointly carries out with the alumni soci-eties is the Lecturing Tour. For this program, HIDA sends speakers from Japan to a seminar jointly hosted by several alumni societies, funded jointly by HIDA and the alumni societies.This time, at the Lecturing Tours in Mexico and Peru, we invited Prof. Shin Omori of College of Economics, Nihon University as the speaker. Prof. Omori studies corporate 5S and cleaning activities from the perspective of Management Studies. His lecture not only looked at the effect of 5S in productivity improvement, but also paid attention to the effect of human resource development those activities had on people and their organization. Firstly the tour went to Mexico’s capital Mexico City on November 4, delivered to about 70 attendants including local entrepreneurs, managers, consultants and students. Due to the recent acceleration of Japanese corporate expansion into Mexico, the audience was very keen, actively asking questions and exchanging views. The tour then went to the city of Lima in Peru, and delivered at three venues. The last of those was delivered as the Keynote Speech as the Peru National 5S Award Presentation Ceremony held on November 8 (See the next section for information on this event). About six-hundred audiences, including the award winners, those from the corporations considering taking part in future 5S award and students, were captivated by Prof. Omori’s lecture. And the seminar saw a grand success. In any countries, we saw a high level of interests in Japan and 5S. Prof. Omori’s lecture created an opportunity to feel the nucleus of Japanese management culture and to become further motivated in 5S.Following are reports of the alumni society events held in Peru and Argentine in November 2016●Commemorative Ceremony Marking the 50-Year Anniversary of Kenshu Kiokay del PeruA Commemorative Ceremony was held to mark the 50-Year Anniversary of Kenshu Kiokay del Peru, in Lima, Peru, on November 7. The ceremony held at the grand theater of Centro Cultural Peruano Japonés was attended by many VIPs from political and business establishments including the Prime Minister, Mr. Fernando Zavala, an alumnus, and the Ministry of Labor and Employment, Mr. Alfonso Fernando Grados Carraro. Other in attendance included Mr. Joji Tateishi, Senior Managing Director of HIDA, President Ernest Furukawa and other executives of Kenshu Kiokay del Peru, former presidents of the Alumni Society, and presidents of the HIDA-AOTS Alumni Societies of Venezuela and Monterrey, Mexico. The occasion was celebrated in a grand style by the 130 attendants.●Peru National 5S Award Presentation CeremonyOn the day after the above event, again at Centro Cultural Peruano Japonés, the Third Peru National 5S Award Presentation Ceremony was held. This Award started as the 5S promotion activity by Kenshu Kiokay del Peru, instituted in 2014 by the committee consisting of Kenshu Kiokay del Peru, the Embassy of Japan in Peru, JICA, JETRO, Japanese Peruvian Society, and Japan-Peru Chamber of Commerce. The Peruvians believe in the philosophy, “5S leads to development of the Peruvians, Peruvian organizations and eventually Peru as a nation.” Thus not only corporations but such public institutions as Lima University and the National Ofce of Electoral Processes are engaged in the 5S activities and participate in the award.●Argentine National 5S Award Presentation CeremonyOn the 10th, the Inaugural Argentine National 5S Award Presentation Ceremony was held at the Stock Exchange Hall in Buenos Aires, Argentine. This award has been instituted as the result of Asociacion Argentina de Ex-becarios de la ABK y AOTS following the example of Kenshu Kiokay del Peru, with assistance from the Embassy of Japan in Argentine, JICA, Argentine-Japan Chamber of Commerce and other business or educational organizations and several local companies with afliation with Japan. On the day after the presentation ceremony, there was a tour of plants belonging to the Gold Award winning rm, showing a most Argentine like, creative and interesting 5S activity.We hope the network of our alumni societies promote and develop 5S activities in many more countries in Latin America and beyond.Lecturing Tours in Mexico and Peru “Invitation to Japanese Management Practice through 5S”Commemorative Ceremony Marking the 50-Year Anniversary of Kenshu Kiokay del Peru and 5S Award in Peru and ArgentineProf. Shin Omori, giving lecutre at (Peru) National 5S AwardPrime Minister Zavala giving speech at Commemorative Ceremony Marking the 50-Year Anniversary of Kenshu Kiokay del PeruA scene of Lecturing Tour in Mexico City.
