"Towards profit recovery and expansion"—We pursue the fulfillment of this plan through aggressive capital investment and intensifying our vertical and horizontal strengths. "To date, our basic management policies have been to produce better products faster and cheaper in larger quantities than anyone else, and to win the competition through manufacturing and technological excellence. I would like to take another look at where our core competencies lie, with the aim of developing strategies that will further leverage these competencies to our advantage. In the past, we have identified three core competencies: Our overseas production capabilities as one of the first Japanese companies to establish production bases overseas, our proprietary mass production technologies and our vertically integrated manufacturing system. While overseas production and mass production are no longer new or particularly exceptional, our vertically integrated manufacturing system-which encompasses all processes, from the production of parts through to assembly-is something truly unique that we have developed over a long period and which we believe will give us a major competitive edge in today's market. Looking ahead, we will reinforce awareness of these core competencies and introduce a new management strategy that emphasizes leveraging our overall integrated strength. I believe firmly that our ability to do this will be the most important key to further expanding the scope of our operations.
