Abstract: New-vehicle sales in Japan have gradually decreased, and young people there have recently lost interest in vehicles. Thus, an exterior vehicle design that attracts indifferent customers is required.

This is purportedly due to the implicit training style, which relies on the intuition and knowhow of experienced workers. This intuition and knowhow needs to be identified and imparted to inexperienced workers. We attempted a statistical and scientific approach to achieve this. We then created a work procedure manual incorporating experienced workers' intuition and knowhow to train inexperienced workers effectively and efficiently........
