Management transformation 2: Autonomous and decentralized organizational management

With our external environment changing rapidly and our business expanding recently, it is becoming increasingly important to have each employee think independently, make decisions, and take quick actions with an awareness of the significance of Overall optimization and responding to changes. We will be aiming to make our organizational administration more conducive to motivation and growth by emphasizing the three components of autonomy, collectiveness, and evolution.

Three aspects of focus

Autonomy

Announce and share in an appropriate and timely manner management-related information, including management environment and conditions and medium-to long-term policies

Evolution

Assume that the management environment will always be changing and enhance the intelligence function so we will move forward while responding to change

Collectiveness

Depend on supervisors of each department, as well as corporate functions that make company-wide decisions, to keep departments from being individual silos (optimizing their individual performance).
This will both support the autonomy of each site and ensure appropriate governance

Management transformation 3: Change-responsive management based on hypothetical thinking

At a time when the environment is changing drastically, we should not be passive, but rather prepare by hypothesizing what might happen in the future, then practice change-responsive business management, which flexibly corrects its course in response to change. Each function and organization continually gathers information on future changes, discusses them, takes action, and monitors, raising their sensitivity to environmental changes and strengthening their ability to respond to them.

Management transformation 4: Digital transformation (DX)

At Murata, we define digital transformation (DX) as an initiative that enables people and organizations (business processes) both inside and outside Murata to connect digitally and freely and make processes shorter, faster, and visible, thereby continually driving to dramatically increase customer value and competitiveness, and we will accelerate the initiatives for the transformation.

We will establish an organization that promotes the strategy for company-wide DX and works with the executing organization to realize our vision in the domains to strengthen and core fields, accelerating the overall digitalization.

Domains to strengthen
  • R&D: Accelerate the development of elemental technologies and new technologies by utilizing Al and MI (Machine Intelligence)
  • ECM/SCM*: Transform monozukuri in a broad sense, including ECM/SCM, envisioning how monozukuri should be in ten years' time
  • Customer contact: Strengthen the connection with customers not just individually but from an end-to-end perspective, thereby co-creating value with them
  • Business management: Promote business portfolio management and enhance business management to improve the ability to respond to changes
Core fields
  • DX human resources/IT platform: Invest strategically to develop digital human resources and improve IT infrastructure as a foundation for DX.

*ECM/SCM: Engineering Chain Management/Supply Chain Management
