Design production lines for camcorders and arcade machines from the outskirts of Tokyo.






Here is an excerpt from Kaizen's Steam description:
Welcome to the factory
The year is 1986 and you are David Sugimoto, born and raised in South Bend, Indiana. Thanks to a family friend, you’re headed to Japan for your very first job at Matsuzawa Manufacturing.
Initially promised a job with the international sales team, you show up at your new job and it isn’t a shiny office. It’s one of Matsuzawa’s old factories in the outskirts of Tokyo. You’re quickly put to work designing automated production lines. Do you have what it takes to survive as a rookie thrust into the fascinating world of factory automation?
