I intend to take this opportunity presented by the change in organizational structure to closely monitor the progress toward achieving our key management KPIs, verifying them on an ongoing basis. In cases where targets are not met, I will ensure that the causes, countermeasures, and outlooks are effectively examined so that the Company’s PDCA cycle functions properly and continuously. Through this, I aim to contribute to both the achievement of the Company’s publicly announced budget targets and to the acceleration of the decision-making process.

 

To make this possible, management information must be monitored accurately and nearly in real time. To make such a system permanent, it will be necessary to transform our internal operational processes so that data generated along each workflow is entered into the system immediately and processed instantly. This transformation represents a true  management and operational reform, and is essentially a company-wide DX initiative that cannot be realized without strong leadership from top management. It will also be crucial to pursue optimization of the overall system architecture, ensuring that digital systems do not fall into the trap of local optimization, while simultaneously achieving cost reductions and shorter development cycles. I intend to follow up on these DX and ICT initiatives, providing guidance and advice as necessary.

 

Ultimately, what will be most important for Joshin moving forward is that every officer and employee thinks deeply and acts proactively, so that together we can grow Joshin into an even stronger organization.
