Areas of Expertise

I possess knowledge and experience in production and technical development in the textile industry.

 

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

A leader can’t do anything by themselves. The main role of the leader is to vitalize the organization by motivating the people who are involved in it. Support for independent thought and implementation that leads to good results becomes motivation for the organization. It’s based on a trusting relationship with the organization members.

 

Profesional accomplishments

I reduced in-process inventory by half in a short period of time in production sites where performance was sluggish due to chronic non-achievement of production plans. The production lead time was shortened drastically and productivity improved by 30%, resulting in the recovery of business performance. The radical reduction of in-process inventory allowed us to locate problems in the production sites.

 

Mentors

The director(s) in charge of production in those days. I learned the nuts and bolts of production management from various perspectives through timly advice and close support and encouragement, which maintained my motivation.

 

Goals as president

I aim to be the president of a company in which employers and employees grow together, impressing poeple with our creativity and expanding projects that contribute to the earth and society. This is our corporate philosophy.
