Reviewing the First Year of Our Mid-term Business Plan

 This is a strategy map of how we aim to achieve our mid-term goals.

•  We will continue to keep track of changes in the business environment and use this information to improve our profitability by changing our business management process from “stock” management to “flow” management.
• We will establish a strategically integrated global network of production, sales, technology, and management functions to enable the efficient implementation of growth strategies and acceleration of the decision-making process.
• We will strengthen group management and production capabilities to improve profitability. We will centralize the control of global management information and clarify business responsibilities. We will also focus on our production efficiency improvement activities (i.e. APS: Advanced Production Systems activities) to further reinforce NSK’s manufacturing capabilities.
• We will reinforce our sales, marketing and R&D capabilities to pave the way to future growth. We will swiftly communicate information regarding changes in global demand to our production and R&D divisions, so that we can implement marketing strategies that correspond to the market’s needs. We are also developing high-function, next generation products using our high level of technological expertise and knowledge in mechatronics, and will use them to boost overall sales.
