Working together with my colleagues, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

Currently, as the chief of the Lapping and Flatness Group, I am in charge of progress management for the entire group and overall lapping processing. Since the lapping process is the final step in the blade manufacturing process, I am particularly conscious of maintaining quality and adhering to deadlines in my daily work. Since our company produces a wide variety of products in small quantities, we handle a large number of products and require processing accuracy in microns. The process itself may seem complicated and difficult because we sometimes process products thinner than copy paper. But it is not particularly difficult if you understand the lapping mechanism. However, it takes a lot of time to understand the mechanism of the lapping process. In my case, by repeating many mistakes, I was finally able to learn what lapping is. Once again, I realized the importance of repeating basic operations in everything. 　It has been 10 years since I joined the company, and I am now in the middle of my career in terms of age. From now on, I would like to pass on to my juniors the skills of my seniors, who have been my role models.

What I have learned in one year

One year has passed since I joined the company. I am in charge of the blade filling process in the Production Division. The filling process is the second process in blade manufacturing after the kneading process. There are two things I keep in mind when I am in charge of the filling process. First of all, I have to be very careful not to produce any defects, and I have to work with a strong sense of responsibility. When I was actually assigned to my current department, I was filled with anxiety, but the people around me were very kind and provided me with detailed guidance on my duties, so I was able to get used to the work little by little, although it took some time. The next thing I learned was to know the daily workload in the morning before starting work. If I set a specific goal, such as "I need to finish this amount of work by what time today," I can concentrate on my work, and I will be happy when I actually achieve it. Also, when I have a problem while working, I often receive help from my superiors and the people in the process before and after me, which makes me realize every day that I am not working alone. I am always grateful for the people around me. Lastly, I introduce my goal from now on. Since I am in charge of the process of "molding" products, it is an important process that greatly affects the quality of the products. Therefore, I would like to reduce the number of product defects caused by me to less than half of the current number. Since I will need to mold many types of products in the future, I will make daily efforts to improve both production speed and quality, and I would like to be in a position to support the people around me.
