「To address the chronic personnel shortage, we will also pursue investment in automation and labor saving, including the introduction of robots following the automation of steel processing.」
Measures to address the increased workload were expanded to investment in automation and labor saving, including the introduction of robots following the steel-processing line. - FY2026-H1AdvancedAnnual report
「In the marine equipment division, sales of hatch covers for bulk carriers increased, while hull blocks also remained solid, supported in part by the active acceptance of spot projects.」
For the production structure designed to respond to workload fluctuations, growth in hatch-cover sales and the acquisition of spot projects continued. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「We will proceed with developing the production structure, including the launch of a new automated steel-processing line.」
We entered the stage of developing the production structure, including the launch of an automated steel-processing line, to address the increased workload and personnel shortages. - FY2025-H1AdvancedAnnual report
「In the Marine Equipment division, productivity improved and profitability improved as the range of products manufactured was narrowed and identical products were produced consecutively.」
It was reported that, for the production structure designed to respond to workload fluctuations, narrowing the range of manufactured products and producing the same type of product consecutively led to higher productivity and improved profitability. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「In response to the increased workload, we rebuilt our production structure and improved operating efficiency, while continuing to actively secure spot projects.」
For the production structure designed to respond to workload fluctuations, rebuilding and operating-efficiency improvements during the period of increased workload were implemented throughout the fiscal year. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「In response to the decline in volumes of work, we worked to streamline our production structure and improve operating efficiency while actively taking on spot projects.」
For the production structure designed to respond flexibly to workload fluctuations, streamlining and operating-efficiency improvements in response to lower workload were implemented throughout the fiscal year. - FY2022-Q3RestatedAnnual report
「In the marine equipment segment of the machinery-related business, we are building a production structure capable of responding flexibly to fluctuations in workload, while」
The policy has continued to shift from short-term streamlining in response to lower workload and preparation for future increases to building a production structure capable of responding flexibly to workload fluctuations. - FY2021ReframedAnnual report
「Although we will streamline our production structure in response to the decline in workload, we will build a structure with a view to an increase in workload from the following fiscal year onward.」
The focus shifted from measures centred on adding personnel and installing equipment to address increased workload to short-term production streamlining and building a structure prepared for future growth. - FY2019First statedAnnual report
「To address the increasing workload, we will seek to improve productivity by increasing staff, installing equipment and reviewing our production and installation structure.」
Measures to address the increased marine equipment workload through additional personnel, equipment installation and a review of the production and installation structure were presented separately for the first time.
