Why a samurai on a modern shop floor?
The solution ecosystem of Hattatsu Group (Japanese for “development” or “growth”) is built on international methodologies for improving operational efficiency: Lean Production, Kaizen and Operational Excellence.
The use of this symbol reflects the principles behind our work in designing and optimizing complex production systems — principles grounded in 18 years of hands-on process management experience at a major global Japanese corporation, which instilled our commitment to the Asian school of management:
- 無Eliminating non-productive costs (Muda): An independent audit of the end-to-end value stream to uncover hidden costs, equipment downtime, logistics defects, and inefficient manual control loops.
- 型Standardizing and synchronizing processes (Kata): Building a rhythmic production flow by introducing strict work standards at the Gemba (the shop floor) and synchronizing equipment cycles — eliminating process variability and stabilizing quality.
- 改善Continuous development of the whole company (Kaizen): A philosophy of continuous improvement that engages every level of the organization — from individual workstations to strategic management. It is a deliberate transformation of business processes and team mindset to secure the company's long-term competitiveness.
The Hattatsu Group philosophy: our principles and work culture
We have transferred years of experience inside a global Japanese industrial structure into our company's DNA. These are the values that guide us on every project:
- 義Objectivity and technological honesty (Gi): We give management objective, undistorted data on the state of the plant's capacities and processes, openly highlighting every bottleneck and problem area.
- 勇Courage in modernization (Yu): We accompany the enterprise along the entire path of change, helping management move step by step from reactive control to a systematic industrial architecture.
- 礼Focus on human capital (Rei): We build a production culture where people are the main value and the driver of change. We redesign processes and deploy clear corporate LMS systems to protect the team from chaos and make every employee's work conscious, safe, and comfortable.
- 名誉Honesty and openness of approach (Meiyo): We value our reputation and the reputation of the Academy for the Development of Manufacturing Enterprises. Our approach is built on transparent project delivery, a clear methodology, and honest fulfillment of every commitment we make.

What our clients say
“The Hattatsu Group team is one of the very few experts in the CIS who know the deep specifics, pain points, and technical nuances of the window market from the inside. Our years of joint experience developing large-scale consulting programs have confirmed the high practical value of their methods. I unconditionally recommend Hattatsu Group to all partners for systematic production optimization and the implementation of lean technologies.”
Founder and Head of the SHKOLA OKNA+ ecosystem
“Comprehensive consulting from Hattatsu Group introduced the strict standards of the Asian school of management at our plant and completely rebuilt our management culture. As a result, we doubled productivity — learning to deliver the former output of two shifts in just one — and reached stable annual operating profit growth of +20%. The Hattatsu Group team didn't just optimize the shop floor; it built world-class systematic managers inside the company.”
Founder and Head of AXAGLASS
“When we brought the Academy team in for manufacturing consulting with our key clients, we received in-depth technological analytics and a clear audit and diagnostics system. The Academy's experts quickly identify hidden losses, optimize the logistics of internal flows, and rebuild operational processes to meet lean manufacturing requirements. This approach made it possible to increase customer satisfaction, reduce complaints, and strengthen our clients' commercial resilience. We recommend the Academy as a strong technological and management partner for the comprehensive transformation of production facilities.”
Former Sales Manager at AGC
Development Director, RAVT (Russian Automobile Union)
“With the Hattatsu Group team we implemented the standards of the Asian school of management, which helped rebuild our internal processes: moving away from rigid manual control toward staff training and delegation. This dramatically relieved management from operational routine. The site received a working system that has been developing autonomously for five years since the project ended, maintaining high production efficiency.”
Managing Director, Sibglass Novosibirsk
“In just one year of working with Hattatsu Group we created a unified digital ecosystem for managing the enterprise and increased overall production output by 10%. Implementing end-to-end planning and lean standards on the shop floor allowed us to optimize costs and reduce payroll while raising the earnings of key specialists by 30%. The team dove deep into our specifics, completely rebuilding our processes — from per-shift dashboards at the gemba to long-term business strategy.”
CEO of PZZS LLC (NFG brand)
“The one-year professional development program in communication and motivation for Lean projects, delivered by the Academy for the Development of Manufacturing Enterprises, proved highly effective in practice. Its hands-on format (308 academic hours) and the well-balanced combination of online modules with on-site training allowed our middle managers to build cross-functional management and project leadership skills without stepping away from day-to-day operations. Introducing non-financial motivation methods and developing a culture of continuous improvement produced a measurable increase in employee engagement and team loyalty. We recommend the Academy as a systemic expert in organizational design and the transformation of production systems.”
HR Director, Borsky Glass Works JSC
“The 10-day intensive course ‘Lean Production Basics’ from Hattatsu Group helped us engage our line managers in lean production. What we had been trying to get across to our foremen for years, the Hattatsu experts explained in a week and a half — the employees embraced the new work standards on their own. Flow and rhythm became the key drivers of productivity growth, and the team clearly understood the main goal of the changes.”
Production Director, Okna Doma LLC
“We had no idea how to approach building a website, even though our guests had huge demand for an online menu and reservations. The Hattatsu Group team spared us the tedium of writing a spec: they came to the restaurant and interviewed the staff and guests themselves. The finished website, 5zvezdrest.ru, turned out so convenient that both our employees and all our guests rated it very highly.”
Founder and Head of 5 ZVEZD LLC
“The development of our new corporate website axaglass.ru by the Hattatsu Group team raised the company's digital positioning to the quality level of the product itself. The team managed to structure a complex, large-scale interior glazing portfolio and create a convenient, technological interface for architects and B2B clients. The website now fully reflects the real scale of our production and works as a powerful sales tool.”
Founder and Head of AXAGLASS
“The Hattatsu Group team organized our 10th anniversary celebration to the highest standard. They flawlessly combined two key parts: a rich business program for partners and a vibrant entertainment section for more than 200 guests. Perfect coordination, attention to detail, and deep involvement made the event large-scale, high-energy, and free of a single hitch. Thank you for your professionalism and systematic approach to creating landmark corporate events!”
Co-founder of Pelican Autoglass
“AXA Glass has been on the market since 1996. In refreshing the brand, the Hattatsu Group team faced a formidable challenge: preserve continuity while elevating the visual language to the premium segment. The concept and slogan they developed refined our style with jeweler's precision — our brand now fully matches and visually confirms our status as the leader in interior glazing in Moscow.”
