- Tell us about the work you supervise.
- The Design Division is divided into 3 departments, and I supervise design of the actual machines that manufacture injection molding machines and other machines. One of the particular features of Sodick is that we frequently visit customers' premises accompanies by the sales managers to talk to them about what sort of production functions they need. And I often give presentations on the most suitable products. There are times when specifications are needed to be modified at the customer's request just prior to shipment. When that happens, we work with the manufacturing and procurement teams to quickly adapt the design.
