Please tell us about your current work
I am in charge of mass production purchasing of metal fittings and rubber materials, which are materials for products of our Automotive Parts Division.
I am in charge of negotiating delivery dates, quantities, and costs for mass-produced products. Depending on the delivery destination, there are many overseas business trips to consider global procurement.
Please tell us what you valued when looking for a job and why you decided to work for Kurashiki Kako.
I felt that it was a company that values people.
During my job-hunting activities, our company was the only company that gave me feedback on my own strengths and points of improvement when I was notified that I had passed the interview. Also, I remember being nervous during the final interview with the executives, surrounded by a large number of executives, but all of them listened to what I had to say.
Be sincere with people. The attitude of the company was one of the things I wanted to cherish.
Please tell us about the most “heartbreaking job” you have ever had.
I had a shocking experience when I realized the importance of relationships between people and relationships of trust.
Although it should not have happened, there was a delivery defect caused by the procured metal fittings. It was Friday that it was decided that it was necessary to deliver replacement parts in cooperation with the quality department. Knowing that it would be impossible, I asked a supplier with whom I had a close relationship to rework, and they agreed to do it on Saturdays and Sundays. On Monday, the in-house quality department brought the product in and redelivery was completed.
If it weren't for the relationship of trust that we have with our suppliers on a daily basis, I don't think they would have worked for us.
Please tell us your motto!
