Improving production efficiency and shortening lead times

「The new production management system has begun operating, advancing the digitalization of production instructions and efforts to improve operational efficiency by strengthening coordination between production sites and indirect departments. To support further business expansion, the company will strengthen its overall production base by expanding the range of products it can process through the introduction of multitasking machines and other equipment, improving production and administrative efficiency, and improving the factory environment.」

「To support further expansion, the company will work diligently to expand the range of products it can process using multitasking machines and other equipment, improve production and administrative efficiency and factory operations, including waste reduction, to optimize production as a whole, and consider a dedicated CMR production line.」

「In production, to improve production efficiency, shorten lead times and promote in-house production, the company will build a production management system aimed at optimizing main engines, components and CMR as a whole.」

「In production, to address declining main-engine production volumes and shorter delivery times, the company will work to improve production efficiency, shorten lead times and promote in-house production.」

「In production, a new five-face machining center capable of machining inclined surfaces has begun operating, and the company has also introduced a push-pull paint booth capable of substantially reducing labor hours.」

「In production, to address the decline in main-engine production volumes, the company will work to improve production efficiency, shorten lead times and promote in-house production.」

「In production, to address the decline in value added per unit caused by the downsizing of main engines, the company will work to improve production efficiency, shorten lead times and promote in-house production.」

「In production, the company newly introduced a five-face machining center to improve production efficiency, worked to eliminate waste through standardization and quality improvements, and was able to accommodate short-lead-time shipments.」

「In terms of earnings, component sales increased more than expected, and the effect of higher operating capacity also helped absorb higher costs resulting from rising material prices and increased personnel and other expenses. Operating profit was ¥667 million, up 37.2% year on year, ordinary profit was ¥695 million, up 30.7%, and quarterly net profit was ¥465 million, up 30.6%, resulting in higher revenue and earnings than in the same period of the previous year.」

「In terms of earnings, component sales increased more than expected, and the effect of higher operating capacity also helped absorb higher costs resulting from rising material prices and increased personnel and other expenses. Operating profit was ¥567 million, up 41.9% year on year, ordinary profit was ¥591 million, up 45.7%, and quarterly net profit was ¥396 million, up 45.9%, resulting in higher revenue and earnings than in the same period of the previous year.」

「In terms of earnings, the increase in component sales and the maintenance of operating capacity absorbed higher costs resulting from rising material prices and increased personnel and other expenses. Operating profit was ¥353 million, up 44.4% year on year, ordinary profit was ¥366 million, up 49.7%, and quarterly net profit was ¥248 million, up 48.3%, resulting in higher revenue and earnings than in the same period of the previous year.」

「In production, for main engines, the company will respond to the recovery in overseas projects, improve production efficiency, shorten lead times and enhance its ability to handle export engines.」

「In terms of earnings, operating capacity was maintained through orders for short-lead-time projects. However, in addition to higher costs resulting from rising material prices and increased personnel and other expenses, sales of components declined. As a result, operating profit was ¥486 million, down 33.2% year on year, ordinary profit was ¥531 million, down 26.1%, and quarterly net profit was ¥356 million, down 21.2%, resulting in higher revenue but lower earnings than in the same period of the previous year.」

「In terms of earnings, operating capacity was maintained through orders for short-lead-time projects. However, in addition to higher costs resulting from rising material prices and increased personnel and other expenses, sales of components declined. As a result, operating profit was ¥400 million, down 27.5% year on year, ordinary profit was ¥406 million, down 27.9%, and quarterly net profit was ¥271 million, down 21.7%, resulting in lower revenue and earnings than in the same period of the previous year.」

「Operating rates were maintained through orders requiring short delivery times. However, in addition to cost increases resulting from higher material prices, labor costs and expenses, spare-parts sales also failed to grow. As a result, operating profit was ¥245 million, down 39.0% year on year, ordinary profit was ¥244 million, down 39.1%, and net profit for the quarter was ¥167 million, down 38.2%, resulting in higher revenue but lower profit compared with the same period of the previous year.」

「In production, assuming that orders requiring even shorter delivery times for main engines will increase further and that the trend toward smaller engines will continue, we will work to improve production efficiency and shorten lead times.」
