Dear JATCO group members,
Year 2015 has just started. I hope all of you had a good new year.
The new year is a good timing to think about some different things from usual thoughts, such as macro trends etc. You will find various articles in the media, and it would be good to spend some time for readings.
My personal view is that today’s world is getting even more complicated than ever. No clear leaders and quite unstable. Geographical risks exist throughout the world. On the other hand, overall the world economy will achieve a growth, also the technology will advance with much faster pace. That is, we live in the world where we see both opportunities and risks complicatedly mixed. Same would apply to auto industry. Some good growth countries vs. slow moving countries. For Japan OEM, the concern would be a slowing situation in Japan, China and other Asian nations. On the other hand, growth will be achieved in a global scale, then the technology advancement will be accelerated towards 2020.
How should JATCO behave in such a world. Some unexpected things may happen which will require our prompt actions. We’ll see some new issues. Therefore, I would say it is critically important, that each employee demonstrates leadership by taking a small one step with your own ideas. Such a team will be a winner in this era. Why? Because it’s so difficult and complicated to find right answers which will be changing rapidly, no single individual can foresee them correctly. It’s the era where we need team effort, which is exactly stipulated in our new JATCO WAY “T-E-A-M”. I truly believe T-E-A-M is what we need to be successful in today’s world.
Thinking of micro point of view, let me repeat the same story from last year, that quality and safety are the two top priority for 2015 JATCO. That’s first thing we need to think about before anything. Without quality, we cannot have a future or any business plan. I know you are all well aware, but we need to make our attention one step higher. Same for safety, take it one more step seriously. Both quality and safety will require dairy steady challenges, which may not appear in numbers instantly. That’s understandable, and we can at least change our way of thinking today. Let’s have a big aspiration on quality and safety.
2015 is a year of “sheep”. At Haruki Murakami novel, sheep often appears as a key metaphor, i.e. implying something. A Wild Sheep Chase is one of my favorite novels.
So, what kind of the year 2015 will be, let’s go for a sheep chasing journey together. Do not forget to bring T-E-A-M spirit!
I wish 2015 will be a good year for all.
