Engrossed in fiber research and development of youth
In about 40 years ago, when I was a student I'm keen on mountain climbing and wading group activities, such as is not a person with academic.But two years in graduate school, I think very seriously study hard.My major is mathematical learning.The study of the major theme is the data transformation and build the mathematical model of a type is used to control theory, etc.Job searching, one of my idea is to work in the related to "physical".Mathematical engineering is relative theory of knowledge, I hope I can actually enter society after contact with "real".It was then that I heard from the research office of the predecessors "sumitomo electric is advancing fiber" this information.At that time, the optical fiber is still in the dawn.I feel optical fiber in the future society will become an integral part of the product, in which there is the possibility of a huge.Feel the charm of the optical fiber is one of the reason for my entry.Another important in reason, is I graduated from the senior heard sumitomo electric enterprise culture is tend to give the job to young people to complete.
Because I'm attracted to optical fiber and induction, so also hope to be engaged in research and development of optical fiber and cable *.Later, wish come true, I was assigned to research and development, based in yokohama.At that time, Japan began to introduce optical cable, the ideas of people is through the optical fiber network link all the offices and homes.At that time, sumitomo electric industries development very competitive with other companies, especially in order to let customers use the company's fiber optic cable communications operators, all day and night doing the research.Then, to reduce cable diameter, we high density of the fiber (600 ~ 1000 of multicore).When the company's proposal finally adopted by the customer, as a researcher, I really realized the value of the work.
Across the "civil KuoXiao" this difficulty
I am directly involved in the research and development period is 7 years after induction and during the research and development after the security of his appointment in 2020.Meanwhile, about 25 years time I have been in business, or working in the communications department and the cause of the optical communication ministry, from the aspects of technology for proposal for the customer, work in the KuoXiao of cable products of the company.Have a work left a deep impression on me, that is in the early 2000 s, previous sales object is mainly communication operators, but I was responsible for civil KuoXiao is geared to the needs of society in general.When facing the public civil product market share of around 10%.In this context, we began to think about how to improve the market share.But before that, the group as a whole is the big telecommunications operators as the main sales object.We must change the "vector".As a leader in the business practice forces, I build with operating personnel from company level to promote the system of civil KuoXiao let engineer resident in the forefront of the branch, for example, formed a let customer technical information, head of the business and engineers can smooth cooperation with the linkage of the team.In the end, for the public civil products market share expanded to more than 50%, we actually reap the results.This achievement has made the struggle senior team members are excited at the forefront of the business.In the standing position, predecessors who left congratulated me sent mail, in which the work I was gave high evaluation.Have working with me not only to the results, but also to my work process to give such a high praise, I am deeply gratitude and joy.
When I became secretary career, also met with difficulties.Japan's domestic demand for fiber optic cable to reduce, the price also fell.So we need a change of direction, expanding overseas demand.But a rising yen at the time, the company's export competitiveness is also insufficient, coupled with factors such as the east Japan earthquake caused factories hard-hit, we face a very serious situation.To break through the dilemma, we completely cut costs at home and abroad in Japan, promote the joint venture in China, in Japan KuoXiao carried out both at home and abroad, the whole team work together, down-to-earth, perseverance to advance the activity, finally realized the business profit after 2 years.This experience let me strong experience: through team to optimize the "vector" and gathering strength, can obtain the result beyond imagination.
Indispensable for the researchers to communication skills
Work so far, in the face of all kinds of situation, I always adhere to the "honest face work", "equality to judgment" and "no escape from their duties" these points.Especially as a leader, I think that must be "constantly tell subordinates what is the ideal working state".Face difficulties cannot complete subject, sometimes subordinate to reasonably explain it to me.But if I approved these reasons, so everything will stop there.On the basis of clearly grasp the situation, and constantly tell subordinates what is the ideal working state, will reap the fruits of beyond imagination.I think the leadership that gesture can maximize the potential of team.
Now as the research development of security, in addition to the company's car outside of the department of research and development, career, I also need to research and development of the overall management.As shouldering the task of the new age development, I put forward the "MoECo (Mobility Energy = = mobile, Energy, Communication = ac)" the slogan, to work, including in the convergence of these elements, invested enormous effort.To establish low-carbon society is more and more attention, I have been doing the new energy in the field of technology development, will vigorously promote the work in the future.
I want to tell young researchers: don't be bound by its own values, from the global perspective to fully grasp the problem, for example, from the perspective of customers to think about what is the value, compared with those of our competitors product or package are full of charm.Researchers in order to promote the development and research, this is self-evident.To make business success, it should not be from their own perspective, and from the customer perspective to look at problems, it is very important.Under such circumstances, we must also with external cooperation, such as open innovation.In order to practice these measures, in addition to widen our sight, communication ability is also indispensable.We are social environment has changed dramatically.Although there are difficulties, but also hidden the opportunity to "change the rules of the game".To achieve this, in addition to quickly response to customer demand, must also adhere to strong determination to stick it out.At the same time, in order to provide the corresponding support, I want to create and perfect the new era was down to "make the researchers for the future full of hope, can give full play to their knowledge and insight into the work environment".
* optical fiber is made of fine glass fiber optical signal transmission medium.Refers to the fiber optic fiber optic cable conductor lay close to skin after processing, the indoor and outdoor practice also have the durability of the cable.
