Revolution for the Future

In April of this year, we established the BR New Business Planning Promotion Dept. and Electric Unit Engineering Dept., and began to strengthen new business areas (see the graph on the right). Amid continuing major changes in the external environment, we will focus on work styles and business management in response to with/after corona, and review the organizational structure and profit management system utilizing business charts in order to respond quickly and accurately to changes as new management issues. In order to survive in an era of high uncertainty that will continue into the future, we will continue to take on the challenge of strengthening competitiveness and business reform centered on TPS in conjunction with human resource development under the corporate slogan "Revolution for the Future."
