Based on this experience, I am managing the current Yokohama oils & Fats Industry Co., Ltd, a chemical manufacturer.

 

What have been the main lessons you have learned in your career and how do you implement them in your management?

During six years working at a major manufacturer that supplies electronic parts to major Japanese manufacturers, such as Sony Corporation, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd, Hitachi, Ltd, etc., I have learned the importance of quality control & delivery date management.
