The global common work credo: cheerful, happy, full of vitality!

As a guide for making the scene of the staff to 70 countries and regions outside Japan

Since I entered the company, has been with wiring harness assembly lines of manufacturing department is engaged in manufacturing related work.In 10 years, that is, at the age of 27 in the first corner.During this period, I as the assembly line the captain, actually realized the fun of work.At that time, the boss is strongly recommended that I go to the United States on a business trip.My mission is: through the local staff working instruction and improvement activities, to stabilize the quality and increase productivity.Initially I was surprised, I thought: "why did you choose to me?"At the same time, "in the case of the language, you ever work at a job?"The strong uneasiness followed.In this context, I flew to the United States, continue to patiently to communicate with local employees, common analysis of the status quo of the subject, and carried out to resolve these issues to improve skills to guide and homework.To my delight, local staff approved by me, and understand my idea.Although I only travel in the United States for a month or so, but actually the stable quality and improve the productivity.Through this experience, I gained confidence and experience, the confidence is "as long as to master the skills and techniques, in countries outside of Japan is also qualified for work".With the U.S. on a business trip as an opportunity, then, I have been to Thailand, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Philippines, Romania, Poland, Egypt and South Africa's factories and the guidance to local staff.Only go once, usually hard to finish all the guidance work, need many times to the same factories, so far, I went to the number of countries and regions outside Japan has reached about 70 times.

Although national values and cultural differences occasionally makes me feel confused, but I still have accumulated many valuable experience.Among them, the romanian factory left a strong impression on me.Within the factory, fell on the floor with many parts, items and disorderly piled up, sorting and clean up there is a big problem.Under such circumstances, in order to promote work efficiency, I first set out to the foundational and consolidation activities, but did not get everyone's sympathy and identity, local staff still insist on your previous works, my idea is always unable to thorough popular feeling.At the same time, also produced a conflict: in order to achieve efficient, I wish to reduce the workload of everyone, but be misinterpreted as is to stop the employee's work.There is a serious situation, that is, the local staff only follow as the leadership of the director's instructions.So I consider with the aid of the director of the leading role, and to illustrate the importance of the above measures after the factory director: by the factory director first demonstration, to carry out cleaning, sorting, overhaul and repair measures, set up and follow the rules.I am impressed by the enthusiasm of the factory director, before long, the enthusiasm also came to the heart of the employees.Everyone's consciousness and action to change one million head start gradually revealed.Since then, we everybody then approved by the Japanese people (I took six Japanese men).In many times back and forth between Japan and Romania's working state lasted for two years, we finally realized the beginner's mind, stable quality and improve productivity.The successful experience made me have a sense of achievement.

After the demonstration, let staff alone and experience success

Now, sumitomo denso in 31 countries around the world to carry out the wiring harness manufacturing sales career.We pursue "unite the world quality", and constantly promote the world factory "flash movement" slogan.This is the basic idea of the company for "manufacturing", through the heart, action, skills, equipment and factory "flash", create "flash" products.Wiring harness this products with characteristics "labor-intensive products", almost all of its manufacturing process needs to be done by hand.Therefore, making the scene of the effect depends on the ability of each employee.People is decided to create products "flash" or not, the main body of the quality high and low."The main body of manufacturing products is people".This is what I as the starting point of the advisors.So, you first need to understand each other's culture, values and ideas, it is very important.Focus on: should avoid Japan imposed on people and "reluctant guidance" attitude, and at the same Angle to think, standing on the position of each other, listen to each other's ideas.Then find accord with the country's features, ground teaching method, and the employees work together, "after the demonstration, let staff alone and experience success", this is my direction.

Just return from Romania to Japan, I will from the monitor promoted to director.This, to me is not a happy career development path.For can be competent for the position, director of the, I not too much confidence.In fact, the director's work is quite different with previous work.In addition to further improve skills and operation measures, as head of five production lines, the need to "management" of people and cost, manage the factory operations.At first was not all plain sailing, difficulties and hardships, but I understand the process to as a "new challenge", and the director of the assisted a concerted effort to work, at the same time grasp the factory management technique, and practice their own special way.I found that, no matter stand in what position, basic matters is always the same.That is, through the communication to understand each other, and let the other side also understand yourself.I firmly believe that the resulting trust relationship can achieve full of "flash" manufacturing.

Training is directly related to manufacturing

Since the career, I have been affiliated to the manufacturing sector, as guidance personnel exchanges around the world, but I now belongs to production technology, using the past in the manufacturing field of accumulated knowledge and insight, responsible for starting quantity antenatal preparation and study on new models, etc.For example, with the project of new model, to design a new wire production line.My goal is: to avoid theory, point out the topic and main points, in practice it into design, stable operation and implementation.Recently, I participated in the Philippines factory production line to start the project.The guidance of culture, of course, like my own, and I'm one of the important functions.My credo is: on the job "cheerful, happy, full of vitality!.I think this is common in the world, is the basis for the work.

Sumitomo denso is a through the talent to make the products of the company.Training is directly related to manufacturing.In retrospect, I past effort of various initiatives is "training".Therefore, I attaches great importance to understand each other's ideas.Companies claim to the leadership also includes the "training".Attaches great importance to the communication, understanding each other's ideas, have the ability to maneuvering, and through these elements to build up the trust relationship, only in this way people can grow up to be leaders.In the future, I hope to continue to use a variety of opportunities to promote the "training", and standing on the position of manufacturing manager or factory director, once again active in the manufacturing sector.One day, I hope I can acquire the responsible for on-site or factory.And with you together, for sumitomo electric group manufacturing factory.This is my goal now.
