Since 1991, the Indian economy is being progressively liberalized and its integration into the global economy is deepening. The growth of the manufacturing sector in the country has been recognized as a key thrust area by the Government of India. But with an increasingly competitive environment, a need was felt to create a critical mass of visionary leaders to steer the manufacturing sector into the new era of excellence.[ citation needed ]
Hence, VLMP was developed by the National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council in collaboration with the Ministry of HRD, IITs, IIMs and CII as a flagship program to develop Leaders in Manufacturing under the Indo-Japan Cooperation Agreement, signed by Honb’le Dr. Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India and His Excellency Mr. Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan, in December 2006.[ citation needed ]
The Government of Japan had also agreed to extend cooperation to facilitate the transfer of Japanese expertise and encourage visits to manufacturing centers of excellence in Japan so as to expose the budding leaders to the pioneers of manufacturing technology, adding a global perspective to the entire effort. The program was structured under the guidance of Professor Shoji Shiba, a renowned international expert in the manufacturing sector and a recipient of the Deming Prize. Prof. Shiba has been associated for more than a decade with the very successful Leaders for Global Operations (LGO), erstwhile LFM, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA.
Since 2007, the program has crafted an array of visionary leaders who have marked their presence in the industry, upholding the broad principles of the VLFM community.

The town's tsunami shelters were designed for a wave of three to four meters in height, but the tsunami of March 2011 created a wave 13 meters high which inundated the designated safe locations. Although the town was well prepared for earthquakes and tsunamis and had a 6.5-metre-high (21 ft) seawall, it was not enough, and more than 80% of 8,000 houses were swept away.
