Coming together to make a better workplace
Changing the World of Tomorrow
Shunichi Miyanaga, President and CEO
Dear new and current MHI employees,
This month’s Global Arch is the first issue for more than 500 new graduates who joined MHI Group at the beginning of our fiscal year in April.
Like those of us who came to MHI before them, they aspire to realize
their dreams and change the world at MHI.
I ask all of you to extend them a warm welcome, for they are joining
MHI Group at an exciting time in our history, as we embark on our new
Medium-Term Business Plan. I am confident that their fresh ideas and
enthusiasm will be an important driver of MHI’s changes towards the
shared goal of becoming a sustainably profitable 5-trillion yen company.
As we begin this new phase of our journey together, let me share my
views on what I believe will be the key success factors of our game
plan.
At the Ceremony Welcoming New Employees for 2015
Building Win-Win relationships the MHI Way
MHI’s future growth will come from leveraging our advanced technology and engineering capabilities to help communities around the world
meet their social infrastructure needs. To be the winner in this highly
competitive arena, gaining the trust of the customers and communities
we serve is absolutely essential.
Of course trust is not earned over night. Our relationships of mutual
trust and respect with customers and communities have been built on
the foundation of MHI’s storied 130-year history. We are committed to
growing these relationships – and to developing new ones. By doing
so, we hope to enhance the length and depth of the value chain that we
can offer to our customers, so that it includes third-party collaborations
and after-service, creating new business opportunities for MHI, and
further the delivery of greater value for the communities.
Our Group can, while always keeping a sharp eye on risk management,
realize its true potential to change the world.
To that end, our organization and shared values as a global multinational company are evolving. But, the MHI Group will always promote
understanding and respect for the culture and rules of the respective
communities we are privileged to serve.
As a Valued Member of the Respected Global Company
To wrap up, I would like to direct a few more words to our newest Group
members.
Everything that you do should, in the long run, contribute to gaining the
long-lasting trust as the leading social infrastructure manufacturer. You

may well wonder how this is possible. But I assure you that it is, and you
can do so by following three pieces of advice.
First, develop a business skill set that enables you to compete globally,
but also work in a way that earns the respect of the customers, partners, communities we serve through day-to-day business operations.
Second, be “professional.” This means developing not only technical
expertise, but also the “intelligence” to use that expertise appropriately.
The opportunities ahead will require us to not only understand but also
to intuit the needs of customers and society. Such capabilities can be
cultivated through varied business experience with diversified people.
The Group will provide you with such opportunities in abundance.
And finally third, maintain a proactive attitude to pace the years of commitment to your responsibility for sustainable growth of our own. It is
especially important for our employees as they are committed to the
development of social infrastructures, which require workplace safety
and the integrity of craft.
Making a New History Together
The MHI Group is fortunate to have the new addition of energy and
spirit of challenge to our past achievements. Let me state with conviction that if all of us work together, with a commitment to our shared
values, we can truly change the world.

No.1 Boiler Shop, Kure Manufacturing Dept., Boiler Products Headquarters in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture mainly manufactures utility boilers. Tomotaka Kusano is in charge of organizing the overall welding works for boiler tubing in a tubing group and even travels to domestically
and overseas to thermal power-generating plants to weld tubes at the site. Highly skilled with
20-years of welding experience, he is eager to reach an even higher level, saying “I want to
speed up and do more accurate welding. I believe that there is no limit for skill improvement.”
It is said that one can become fully-skilled after 10 years of actual welding. He is also
committed to training younger engineers, saying “I expect them to become welders who do
their work on their own initiative, not on their instructions.”

Organizational Culture
Coming together
to make a better
workplace
(p.8-11)
Commercial Aviation &
Transportation Systems
(Nagoya Aerospace Systems
Works District)
Spring is the season when new employees join the company and many personnel transfers are made.
This month’s special feature is “communication at the workplace.” We introduce here the opinions collected
from the group and share their initiatives both at work and off-the-job.
Let’s think about what makes a better workplace.
Q
We asked employees of the group.
A
To make MHI a better place to work,
what changes do we need to make in
how we communicate?
Starting from “greeting” “talking ” and “Hou/Ren/Sou” as fundamentals
Greetings are universal
I believe that the first step of communication
is greetings, which is common in the
world. And add a smile to it. Smile spreads
from person to person. People who can
exchange pleasant greetings have powers
that make others think to work together with
them across borders.
(March)
A
Superiors should regularly talk to subordinates.
In doing so, it will create a workplace
environment where subordinates can take
advice from superiors easily.
(Bon of MHI)
Always adhere to “Hou/Ren/Sou”
B e t te r wo r k p l a c e s t a r t s w i t h b a s i c
communication Hou/Ren/Sou (Report,
Review & Consult). And it is also important
to establish some rules on each step like
“Bad news first”, “Stop, call & wait.”
(N. MAHESH)
Be considerate of others
Always to consider cultural and
language differences
From my European perspective it seems
essential to always consider the differences
in culture - and language! - not only within
our company but also towards our suppliers
in the dif ferent countries of Europe. I
therefore strive to be mindful of not only
what people say but also of what they
intend by saying it and to clarify when in
doubt. Improving on language skills and
cultural understanding is the key to success.
(Tobias)
6
It’s important for superiors to talk to
subordinates
Act together
I believe that it is important in teaching a job
to “try to do together” anyway. With doing
together, you can teach not only the knack
of doing a job but also deliver “what I am
thinking about it.” It is important to know the
ways of thinking each other.
(Tank man)
Treat people kindly
I try to treat people kindly from the bottom
of my heart. In addition, I also try to have
conversation with others toward a positive
direction af ter taking their opinions. I
basically think that negative words create
only stagnations or setbacks and believe
that it is important to judge not by profits or
losses but by right or wrong.
(Positive)
Listen to other’s opinions with an open
mind
Listen to other’s ideas with an open mind
and attitude. If you quit listening because
you think you know the answer, you miss
important details.

A
Be open with fellow workers about your feelings,
regardless of their title - and yours
Start at the top
Good communication starts with showing
the importance of open and constructive
communication by Presidents, Management
and Supervisors. They need to give all
employees chances to comment, suggest
and ask for help anytime. Shutting the
door on communication will take away
opportunities to grow with employees. To
let employees have confidence, they need
to show that they can do good jobs. (Mark)
Frank Communication is key
I think open and frank communication
is necessary between supervisor and
subordinates to make a good working
environment. It will create a bond between
them which motivates them to achieve
company’s goal efficiently. And it will be
the path for creating a global company
where everybody works to their fullest
potential without any ego’s.
(RAJ)
Six rules of communication
A mixed force of 60 employees from
the on-site workshop, Kobe Shipyard &
Machiner y Works and NUSEC makes
efforts to penetrate their minds with points
to remember as follows:
1. Equality and the same perspective for
anything
2. Always in the bright and amicable
atmosphere
3. Reporting, contacting and consulting
casually
4. Pointing out and instructing without
reserve
5. Awareness of your responsibilities for
your own works
6. Health, safety and quality on your own
(Baby’s breath)
A
The most effective
communication is
face-to-face
A look can convey more than words
In recent days, it seems that some send
e-mails to people in front of him/her.
However, the basic of communication is
face-to-face. I hope that newcomers try to
see others directly. A complexion reaches
quickly even if you cannot read between the
lines.
(Astro Boy)
Share opinions
Realization of a workplace where anybody
can tell opinions each other. It is wonderful
to make remarks even if they are different
from yours because good ideas evolve
f r o m c o n v e r s a ti o n a n d d i s c u s s i o n.
Communication star ts from speaking
both at conferences and in daily life. I think
everybody's talking to each other makes
Mitsubishi open.
(Haromono Member 2)
Let’s start with conversation
A
Communication using a little ingenuity is important
Not all communication is verbal
I have worked in Germany and Germans
make the usual greetings with making eye
contact and smiling brightly when they come
to the office, have lunch, and go home. It
makes me feel better than giving a bow
alone, and I try to follow them even now.
(tribologist)
Express admiration
Let’s voice admiration for good things,
exchange thoughts beyond standings or job
titles even if they are delicate subjects. Do
not care too much about the atmosphere.
Praise for getting up the courage to talk
delicate subjects. It is important to respect
the different opinions of others and not to
decide everything by majority vote. That is
important.
(Safety Dad)
The best way to convey one’s temperature,
emotion and personality regardless of
when one joined the MHI Group or his/
her positions is conversation! And caring
for others. If you cannot do so for your
colleagues aiming at the same goal, you can
do nothing else.
(Sora-kun)
Offer suggestions as well as critiques
I believe that it is important for our growth
to have positive communication in which we
not only “point out” or “make a complaint”
about subjects but also make a proposal of
countermeasures as staying one step ahead.

The workplace will not change unless
you change it yourself
The Acid Cleaning & Plating Team had tons of challenges
from small to big. In particular, for challenges that our
team could not solve by ourselves, we looked away
thinking “We can't make it because other departments
won’t help us.”
Under such conditions, off-site meetings of
the organizational culture reform promotion project
were held, and 219 items of moans, complaints and
disgruntlements were made. Takemura, one of the
participants, thought at the time “What would change,
with our complaining and speaking our minds?”
However, after the meeting Takemura asked himself
“Then who can change the workplace?” and came to
the conclusion “The workplace will not change unless
I change it.” Takemura shared that thought with his
colleagues, Abe and Miyake. “I was able to take the
first step forward because I had colleagues who
supported me to change the workplace,” he says.
With motivation, even junior
employees can become leaders
Kiyoshi Miyake

In April 2014, the Acid Cleaning & Plating Team set
Leader System different from conventional supervisor
and sub-supervisor. Hakozaki, the supervisor who
proposed this system says “Entrusting junior
employees who have motivation to improve
the workplace made the workplace lively and
enhanced our business performance. One of
the leaders, Abe feels that “With being selfmotivated instead of being forced, even
minor improvements give us a sense of
accomplishment which leads to the next
improvement.” Looking back to the past year, Miyake
says “What changed the most is the mind-set of our
core members. We were feeling as if we were forced
to work, but now we really think that making an effort
for work is cool.” With everyone united and working
together for a workplace that they can be proud of.
They continue their challenges.
The Leader of the Acid Cleaning & Plating Team must:
i) Want to “Improve”
ii) Want to “Do what he/she can do as a leader”
iii) Keep thinking “What makes a good leader?”
iv) Be willing to discuss (Listen)
v) Pursue chances (Never give up)
vi) Face up to difficulties
vii) Prioritize total optimization at all times
stems (Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works District)
Trial for reforming the Organizational Culture has been promoted as a part of workplace reform since November 2011 in Commercial
Aviation & Transportation Systems (Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works District). By holding off-site meetings where employees of
various workplaces and job levels exchange their honest opinions, some changes to the Organizational Culture have been actually
noticed. We will introduce you to the voices of employees who discovered the “Joy of work” and “Purpose of work” and started to act
on their own initiative to improve the workplace.

Tube/Cable Fabrication Team, No.1 Middle Parts Production Branch, Middle Parts Production Shop,

Becoming the World’s No.1 tube shop
- a place that our families can be proud of
To aim for a world-leading tube shop
that we can proudly show to our
families
Enomoto of Tube/Cable Fabrication Team became
aware of the problems in his workplace when he was
appointed to train the trainees.
“Until then, I just did the work given to me. I never
cared about the workplace climate.” As I started to
train the trainees, I came to realize the gap between
the ideal and reality. I thought I could not show the
workplace to trainees with confidence.”
Although he had a hazy feeling, Enomoto could
not find any clue to start acting. A few years later,
Enomoto was inspired when participating to the off-site
meeting. “I talked and talked with other participants
in my generation, losing track of time, and came to
know that everyone had similar worries. I became
determined to change myself.” Enomoto, returning to
his workplace, immediately consulted with his superior,
Mizutani. “I was surprised and pleased to see Enomoto
talking to me with enthusiasm I had never seen him
before.” says Mizutani. Mizutani also participated
in the off-site meeting and the reform of the
Tube/Cable Fabrication Team got started.
Leading
Members
Discuss goals thoroughly
Aside from off-site meetings, the Tube/Cable
Fabrication Team holds meetings for workplace
improvement every week. First, they questioned the
current method of work, “Is the current operation
the best?” even if a solution may not exist and
thoroughly thrashed it out. As a result, presently, their
team has made the most improvements in the Parts
Manufacturing Dept., “The manager at those times
supported and helped me to move forward,” says
Enomoto.
The activities stagnated at times, but with
support from the members of the Executive Office,
they took one step at a time and set the clear goal to
be “World’s number one tube shop.” They discussed
“What is the number one in the world?” and came
to the mutual conclusion “a workplace that you can
proudly show to your families.” Currently, the team is
preparing to hold “Observation tour for families” within
this year.

Maximize the advantages of consolidating
teams through exchanging honest opinions

Masaki Fukushima
Change the workplace through
honest discussion
Colleagues help solve
difficult challenges
On April 1, 2014, the fabrication team and assembly
team of MRH became consolidated. Sakurai was
overjoyed with this organization change. “I thought this
was the very opportunity to change the days when I
quietly did given work even if I was not totally willing.”
Before the consolidation, he did not have anyone
to speak about concerns because his team had no
members in his generation.
Sakurai invited junior employees Tsutsumi and
Fukushima to the off-site meeting. And with the
support from Kinoshita, who is in charge of on-site
support, he started the organizational culture reform
activities.
At the first off-site meeting, although some
participants expressed complaints and disgruntlements,
some voiced opinions for improving the organizational
culture. Then they set a goal “Do what's expected as
expected.”
Now, they hold weekly regular meetings.
Starting the use of schedule boards is one of
their accomplishments. “Sometimes we
got stuck during regular meetings, being
unable to find any solution even though
the problem is clear. Sometimes, we
almost lost sight of the purpose of
the meeting. By exchanging honest
opinions at the off-site meetings,
I was able to summon up my
motivation again,” says Tsutsumi.
Currently, Sakurai feels that the advantage of
consolidating teams is maximized by the organizational
culture reform. “If we did not hold the off-site meeting,
I’m afraid the organization change would have been
hollow. By building relationships enabling us to
exchange honest opinions, the team has become truly
unified and efficient to carry out tasks.”
Kinoshita, who watches over the team objectively as
a staff member, says “MRH Fabrication/Assembly Team is
approaching to a workplace that they are proud of.”
Fukushima concludes his thought on his colleagues.
“When someone lost his/her motivation, other members
encouraged him/her and supported each other. I feel I
can overcome any barriers with my colleagues together.”

Off-site meeting report
On March 26, 2015, an off-site meeting was held at the Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works
District. Members who have been participating since its kick-off meeting looked back on the
activities up to then and casually discussed future plans. Here are opinions the participants
expressed. “I realized the importance of spreading improvement on my own initiative.” “I began
to think I want to change the company,” and “I became to listen to people who are in different
positions.” Some say, though, “My superior does not show understanding,” which highlights
one of the challenges to ask for better understanding in the activities.

Interview with members of the Executive Office for the
Organizational Culture reform promotion project
Create a workplace where you can
“enjoy working and feel rewarded”
Junko Takeuchi
Takeshi Saito,
Deputy Manager
Naohito Adachi,
Manager
—Please tell us the background of the organizational
culture reform at Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works.
Compliance violations in manufacturing process of
aircraft parts were revealed in June 2011 and we lost
confidence from our customers and the public. To
ensure that this sort of problems would not happen
again in the future, we started activities at the
workplace of the Parts Manufacturing Dept., aiming
at “a workplace climate in which we can operate
production assuring safety and reliable quality.”
—Tell us what kind of activities you engage in.
We hold “off-site meetings” in circumstances
different from usual such as at training centers to
discuss workplace problems by expressing our
honest opinions and provide the participants with
opportunities to look back at the way how we have
worked thus far. An increasing number of employees
who participated in off-site meetings inspired to act
on their own initiative to better workplaces. They are
promoting improvement activities in each workplace
and boosting productivity with the support by the
Executive Office like an escort runner who gives
objective advice.
—What kinds of challenges have you found at a
workplace through your activities so far?
We have seen problems in their attitude toward work.
Every employee, of course, is working hard and
earnestly, but he/she thinks “A work is to be given from
a boss” or “If I raise a question, it will not be sincerely
heard or accepted.” We saw many employees who lost
sight of the meaning or purpose of working. I found
out that the improvement activities, which have been
conventionally conducted at workplace, have not
widely taken place because its original meaning and
purpose were not understood and employees felt being
forced to participate.” In addition, employees had little
chance to share work goals with their colleagues and
couldn’t exert their teamwork fully.
On the one hand, we knew there were many
employees who had some doubts about the current
situation and tried to act against them. Since we started
the organizational culture reform, we, as a core of the
revolution, have made efforts to change our workplaces.
—What is the nature of the organizational
culture reform?
The organizational culture to aim for
Sharing the goal we aim for and
combining with management
Current status
Strong instructions and
orders from a boss
Becoming externally
controlled (decrease
of autonomy) without
thinking about
meanings, purposes or
achievements at all
Changing the attitude
toward work to make the
work more valuable in life
Further, giving
strong orders to
subordinates
Feeling of
hopelessness
Negative spiral
“Your voice” can
change the workplace

The management style that
values employees’ feelings,
reflecting what they wish to do
Thinking that we want to make our works and
workplace better and starting to make changes
＝ working on your own will
Thinking and struggling together,
and working in a team that break
through challenges
Mai Goromaru
It is for employees who “want to make their lives
better through working” to build a team to create
situations in which they promote business for their
own fulfillment. When the company’s management
policy and employees’ consciousness are integrated,
the employees call on all of their wisdom and
ingenuity and the company’s management policy
is put into practice. Then, employees can find their
work rewarding. This can’t be realized unless we
purposely tackle it through the organizational culture
reform activities.
—As a member of the Executive Office engaging
in the organizational culture, what do you feel
every day?
Meanwhile, we ask employees in their workplaces to
“Have a positive thought” or “Do the job you can be
proud of”, I ask myself if I live up to these expectations
and I sometimes have a hard time bound in the gap
between the ideal and reality. I keep thinking while
reflecting myself and suffering.
—Please tell us your future plan.
We feel our goal is far away because there are still
many employees who don’t understand the true
nature of the organizational culture reform although
an increasing number of the employees who take
actions by themselves. When viewed from the
opposite side, the more understanding, the more
employees call on their wisdom and ingenuity. We
will keep promoting the organizational culture with
patience and increase employees and workplaces
with full of a rewarding sense and enjoyment in works
all over the Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works.

There are boxes called “Your voice” for taking in any comments of trouble at a
workplace, suggestions for improvement and questions regarding various rules.
A total of 75 boxes are put in place, especially at each on-site shop where it is not
easy to use internal e-mail. The accumulated total of comments put into the boxes is
1,454 so far. Although we used to receive many complaints about work environment
at the beginning, the number of such complaints has decreased
thanks to the effects of steady response by each department. We
now hear more opinions about business manners and relationship
in the workplace. We issued “Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works
Guidebook for Improving Your Manners” last fall with reference
to these opinions. It’s three and a half years since we started this
project and we realize on that we are getting credibility gradually
through feedbacks of “Your voice.”

Learn and understand
the culture of each country
We have employees from over 30 countries
in our company. In my team alone we have
employees from Italy, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Japan, Spain and Jordan. I myself, I am
from Italy. In this work environment, we are
constantly using various methods of communication. In order to ensure understanding with each other, we
make an effort to communicate in plain language.
We brainstorm when we need to listen to everyone’s opinion and even occasionally have a team dinner. We find spending
time with each other outside of work help us to develop a good
mutual understanding of our differences and strengths and build
effective team communication. I would like to develop a better
understanding of Japanese cultures since the MHPS headquarters is in Japan.

We have started welcoming Thai trainees from production sites
in Thailand since fall in 2011 and are having various activities
to promote communication with them. They gain trainings
with feelings of unease in a foreign country where the culture
differs from their own and there is no one else they know. We
have actively encouraged communications, hoping that they
get to know Japanese culture and customs, and features and
characteristics of the Japanese people as much as possible.
In particular, we value greetings and arrange single trips on

From the U.K.
Nigerians do not explicitly express opinions when talking
with their superiors, even if their opinions differ. Sometimes it
is difficult when translating from English into the individuals’
native language as misunderstandings can occur. In such
cases, I create drawings to help with the explanation.
Also, misinterpretation is common when we speak in
shortened sentences, perhaps using slang and abbreviations. In these cases, I would call or meet in person to explain. I think it is important to talk slowly and make sure that
the other person understands what you are saying.
The modesty of the English people is sometimes interpreted
as them attempting to keep their distance when actually,
English people are quite friendly. When meeting new people,
we shake hands and greet each other saying “nice to meet
you.” When meeting close friends we will often greet each
other with a hug.
Occasionally we are considered to be rude because
we exchange business cards in the United Kingdom more
casually than in Japan however I am always looking to learn
the business manners and the best way to communicate
with our International colleagues.

From Jordan
From the U.K.
In Jordan, compared to the Japanese and British culture,
we express our opinions clearly often using our emotions and exaggerated hand gestures. My colleagues can
sometimes think that this is amusing but it is important
that we understand cultural differences so that we can
work together. Currently I am attempting to understand
the manners and protocols in the United Kingdom, where
I work. In the future, I would like to deepen my understanding of the business culture in Japan and of the International work colleagues I work with in Europe.
I try to approach other people with respect and with an understanding that we have different styles and cultural understanding. Often I find that when I do not understand the meaning
of a conversation, the other person is also confused, it is then
important to work together to get a clear understanding.
I always try to remember that cultural differences can
sometimes create the impression that we are being rude so
building good working relationships and talking face to face can
help with this misconception. I think a caring approach is an effective method for improving the relationships in the workplace.

holidays. As for meals, we also make consideration for foods
they cannot eat for religious reasons.
The challenge is the language barrier in promoting our
activities. To communicate with them, we need to talk through
an interpreter for Thai. Therefore, it would be hard for both
trainers and trainees. Although the period for training is short,
only three months, we encourage Japanese employees to try
to speak Thai and Thai trainees to try to speak Japanese so
that communication can be deepened. At closing of the last
training course, trainees performed a greeting in Japanese
they had learnt.
We had built up our relationships with them enough to
be welcomed by all the trainees when we visited Thailand. We
will develop further relationships between Japanese and Thai
employees to cooperate and engage in better works.

As a regular event, we plant cherry trees to flowerbeds in the industrial
complex, hold spor ts festivals and tournaments for bowling and
badminton. Also, we occasionally hold tournaments for Chinese
chess, soccer, photo contests, and karaoke matches. The badminton
tournament is jointly held by group companies in Shanghai district. In
2014, MCCC was the first place winner.
The number one achievement of holding such events is the low turnover
ratio. Smooth interaction during work frees us from unnecessary pressure
and reduces job-related fatigue. In addition, being able to communicate
between employees and interact with other divisions was also rewarding.
We would like to hold more of such various events in the future.

Our company hold activities such as barbecues and
bowling matches in individual departments. However, we
have not held a company-wide sports/culture activity in
over 20 years. So, as a part of the president policy “Building
a cheerful and safe work environment that enables honest
communication,” last year we planned a sports festival for
everyone to participate with their families. This festival was
held for the first time over the past 22 years, and it was a
major success. Calling for
catchphrase and posters to
the families of our employees
made it exciting even before it
had begun. Many employees
that could not participate
due to business trips said “I
really want to participate next

We hold a “Communication Meeting”
once every quarter in collaboration with
both MCCA and MENA (Turbocharger

on each shift (three shifts in 24 hours)
gather and enjoy a meal provided
by the management. Everyone also
enjoys a presentation of any important
information that needs to be shared
such as the latest business conditions,
safety issues and training. A couple
times during the year, the managers
cook for the associates to show their
appreciation for all of the employees’
hard work. This is a very important
communication tool for our company.
We will keep building an informative
and friendly workplace through such
events and promote communication
hand in hand with our shared factory,

consulted 10,000 people as a

——What should be aware of when
communicating at workplace in a
global company?
It is impor tant to understand that
individuals have a dif ferent “set of
v a l u e s ” a n d “c o m m o n s e n s e ” i n
terms of “working at a company” and
to know what they really think. As a
Japanese culture, it is common to
expect other person to understand
e v e r y t h i n g w i t h o u t t e l l i n g a l o t,
assuming that “she/he will understand
me if I say this much” or to presume
that my common sense and others’
are not dif ferent. That actually
causes a lot of misunderstanding and
problems.
——What can individuals do to make
workplace where employees can
work positively and energetically, starting from tomorrow?
A workplace where all employees can work positively and
energetically can be created by individuals working there, not
being built by simply establishing company philosophy and
organization. In addition, communication skills can be improved
by “actual experiences.” I recommend to “willingly” have more
opportunities to interact for better achievement based on the
idea that a “correct” answer is not single one in business, while
having a perspective of “enjoying different set of values and
viewpoints for use.”

Taking the Boeing 787 Dreamliner
into the firmament
The Latest News and Innovations
from Our SBUs
Our SBU manufactures a wing box for Boeing 787. A carbon fiber composite-material 787 wing box is 30m long and 6m wide.
This size is the world’s largest class of airplane with compositematerial wing boxes.
The most significant feature of wing production in our
SBU is to continue mass production as we improve its design at
any one time. Manufacturing and designing closely and frequently communicating to share issues of what to improve, we are
achieving highly efficient and less costly production. In addition,
we facilitated automated operation to reduce manufacturing
time. The “automated drilling machine for upper and lower surfaces” developed by Machine Tool Div. was awarded “Best Innovation” as the world’s fastest machining speed. We will continue reviewing and promoting automation of other processes to
increase production rate in future.
787 wings also serve as fuel tanks with 60 tons and their
required quality is “Ready to Fuel.” By
going through rigorous review and inspections, we are aiming to deliver
ready-to-fly products after fueling. We
will establish a system capable of stable
mass production and actively respond to
the requests made by Boeing.

Project to develop “Mitsubishi Super Skiving System”
Extraordinary innovative gear machining technologies!
“Mitsubishi Super Skiving System” is a system to machine internal gears
used for automobile transmissions, etc. with high speed and high precision. An integrated development consisting of a cutter to cut internal
gears, skiving machine and simulation software that can calculate the
optimum machining conditions, etc. made the system be a gear machining system with high added value. This technology has been successfully
developed precisely because MHI has both cutters and machines as
products. Especially for a cutter, the adoption of multiple cutter blades
realized a longer tool life than before. We are committed to offering new
products that respond to customers’ expectations with innovative technologies for gear machining into the future.

From November, 2013
Start of the
development of
skiving machine
Started to develop a skiving
machine. We first worked on
alterations to an internal gear
grinding machine because of the
tight schedule for development.
From February, 2014
Start of the trial production
of a cutter
From April, 2014
Start of the development
of a simulation software
From September to October, 2014
All three parts were completed and the
system was presented at an exhibition
With cooperation from a research
center, we made trial models of
barrel-shaped multiple-cutting-edge
cutters using a 3D printer. Succeeded
in gear cutting of expanded polystyrene (soft materials for grinding).
Extended function of the
designing software for a cutter
we were originally developing
enabled a simulation of a form
of the chips and estimation of
tool life.
As a result of trial and error, development was
completed three products and participated
in an exhibition. A debut of the system at
“JIMTOF2014”, one of the three major exhibitions of machine tools in the world, drew a lot
of reaction from the industry.

Mainly involved in development of a new model. In
charge of organizing the project this time by using accumulated experiences.

customers’ needs
I was a presenter at the exhibition.
The machining demonstration attracted
a lot of attention
—— What is your role in the project?
A cutter, a skiving machine and simulation software
have been developed this time, and I am in charge
of designing the skiving machine and organizing the
whole project.
—— What do you keep in mind when you are carrying out your work?
Skiving* was first developed more than 50 years ago
but it didn’t measure up to productization because of
many problems such as durability of cutters and high
cost of the process. However, with taking a cue from
an internal gear grinding machine we uniquely developed several years ago, the project was initiated.
With a goal of “debut at JIMTOF in October 2014,”
we were committed to our work with a feeling of tension that “Failure or backtracking works are unforgivable” because only a short period of less than one
year was given for development. Because the project
was not an extension of existing machining methods
but required us to create a new method, I was deeply
aware that a flexible mindset and imagination would
be more important than knowledge I had obtained.
—— What do you keep in mind when you are carrying out your work?
My superior gives me the following advice daily,
“Proceed with your work as always having a selfimage of being successful.” In the project, especially,
I often face challenges but go over his advice as doing my work with a belief of “I surely can do it.”
What kind of person is
Mr. Kikuchi?

—— Tell us your goals for the future.
I try hard to put the technology into practical use as
soon as possible to respond to customers’ expectations.
I will develop a system to be accepted widely and for
a long time among customers as we are regarded
as “Speaking of skiving, it’s MHI” in future. Working
together with those who are involved, we try hard to
become the best gear machine manufacturer in the
world.

He never gives up in any difficult situation.
That’s his virtue. He has worked on core
tasks in previous projects and achieved
results in each case. This time, I asked him
to coordinate the whole project for the first
time. I am confident that he will live up to
my expectations.

the countries in Europe, Russia and Central Asia through 27 local partners. In Europe where air conditioning was not required
in many countries due to pleasant weather in the past, it has now
increased and spread in popularity due to the effects of global
warming. Additionally countries, in Central Asia such as Azerbaijan
where economy is rapidly growing with rich natural resources, the
air conditioning market is remarkably expanding. MHIAE’s operation is focusing on communication with its associated entities in

Providing new hot-water
supply solutions
MHIAE has a fully functioning training facility
which also serves as a product showroom.
Various seminars are offered independently
that target consultants, design offices, distributors and users who plan to purchase
and use our products. Products such as
heat-pump type hot-water supply systems
called Q-ton in particular require proposalbased marketing activities for optimal system
solution suited to each customer’s operating
environment and usage conditions. After a
customer actually operates a product at the
facility to verify the reliability of the product,
we show the customer various case studies
accomplished by us and propose a system
most suited to the requirements of the individual customer. Through these activities,
we have been highly praised upon deliveries
made to customers such as hotels, medical
facilities, student accomodations and offices
through seven countries in Europe including
the U.K. and France. In a quest to expand
our sales, we continue to work on marketing
activities as a team.
