President's message

President
Yoshikazu Hirayama

This year, Japan's economic recovery is expected to continue over these five years, marking the longest in the post-war era. With manufacturing industry, especially, further growth is prospected, as many businesses there are predicted with promising performances.

During this favorable grace period, this country's politics should visualize its best appearance and clearly describe what we, Japanese are to be patient with and to change for.

And, in my view, all the people are to selflessly take actions so that the other nations would respect Japan as role model of quality nation.

The economic prosperity after 2020 seems restricted what with structural problems of population, sluggish productivity improvements because of delayed innovation, and insufficient investment toward innovative technology.

In order to tackle the manpower shortage due to low birthrate and aging population, it is essential to review the notions on some factors such as Japanese business climate/culture, life style and labor, as suggested by the work style reform the government is promoting, and also essential is to improve the work environment with higher productivity, where individual desires for work can be fulfilled.

We, in this industry, also should seek for cooperation from businesses to improve the hiring conditions and welfare, as well as to respond to career development needs from the temporary and contract workers.

Additionally important is to leverage more non-Japanese workforce, not as makeshift workers but the long-term labor, which requires Glocalization(※) of the work site to work together.

Innovation Society 5.0 that both public and private sectors are promoting in recent years aims to realize a society where one can have hopes and each person can live and work with comfort, by utilizing IoT (Internet of Things) for connecting all the individuals with things, ensuring to add new values that have never been generated before.

Manufacture industry also needs to change their strategies and to develop capacities such as MONOZUKURI, production management and quality management by training IoT human resources in view to reacting for 'Smart Factory' concept, which will accelerate the return of MONOZUKURI to Japan.

Calling ourselves "a manufacturer without possessing facilities and land", with a concept "to support Japan's MONOZUKURI with technology belonging to people", we have vigorously endeavored to integrate improvement consulting and manufacturing outsourcing, along with developing our human resources.

As our new strength, we will launch the IoT solution business and as our first priority, will invest our resources to be a company with the System Integrator function that enables to provide Manufacturing Execution System (MES).

On the other hand, we expand our services toward Japanese-affiliated manufacturing firms in Asia in order to implement how to share production information between domestic and international locations, and how to synchronize and standardize their productions.

We will keep committing ourselves to supporting Japan's manufacture industry with every possible effort of our group, where our staff and technical workers can be proud of working.

Digital Transformation Promotion Message

Since our establishment in Showa 30 (1955), under the management philosophy of "unified spirit management among all employees" and "appreciating the emotional gains from work," we have supported the development of our customers and the community through our manufacturing contracting, staffing, and on-site improvement consulting services.

In today's rapidly changing social conditions and the advancement of information processing technology, digital innovation is accelerating in many areas. Companies that fail to adjust to these changes are increasingly being left behind in society.

In such an environment, to meet the expectations as a partner in solving social issues and our clients' business challenges, we believe that digital transformation (DX) is essential. This includes developing new services, improving productivity, and fostering DX talent, all aimed at optimizing operations for both our clients and ourselves.
First, we will start by building our own data and information processing infrastructure from the ground up, actively incorporating the latest digital technologies to create a successful model.

By creating this successful model, we will address essential issues and contribute to the promotion of Japan's digital transformation (DX).
