Mahmood A. Karimjee, Managing Director of Toyota Tanzania Ltd welcomed the guests at the Prize Giving Dinner.

He went on to say that the Golf Cup allows Toyota Tanzania to get closer to their clients; to understand their specific needs and requirements; and to change to meet their expectations. In Toyota Speak, this is called ?Voice of The Customer?

The customer Voice is also religiously conveyed back to Nagoya and Toyota City in Japan to enable Toyota Motor Corporation to drive its Kaizen activities.

Kaizen is the corner stone of Toyota`s global philosophy and is focused on the continual improvement of the products. Products that are used in harsh Tanzanian conditions where reliability is crucial both for safety and efficiency.

Mr. Karimjee ended by saying ?It is very much like a golf swing! The process requires hard work, dedication, practice and continual evaluation and changes?
