This paper describes value-sharing Monozukuri, in which a manufacturer and its users have a mutual partnership and exchange valuable information through a product and its services. Manufacturers make products and services by taking into account the usages and lifestyles of the users. In addition, the users may choose better products or better services, finding value in them often by thinking about why the manufacturers designed and made them the way they did. Based on experiences in manufacturing industries in Japan, the concept of value-sharing Monozukuri is presented. Such Monozukuri will contribute to all manufacturing industries as a new form of dynamism.
