2023 Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Commendation
We (EM Devices Corporation) received the 2023 Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Commendation for Creativity and Ingenuity.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) recognizes those who have made remarkable achievements in research and development and the promotion of understanding of science and technology with the Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Among them, the “Ingenuity Merit Award” is for those who have contributed to the advancement or improvement of science and technology in the workplace through outstanding ingenuity.
We received the award in recognition of our contribution to the improvement of our production technology and productivity through “improvement of unbalanced work volume by reviewing inspection results confirmation methods.”
There are various types of visual inspections for signal relays, but each worker has strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, we reviewed the bias in the amount of work by prioritizing each person’s specialty. As a result of this improvement, the imbalance in the amount of work was improved and the overall work efficiency was greatly improved.
On May 18, we reported the award to Mayor Yamada of Shiroishi City, Miyagi Prefecture, where our company is located. After presenting the certificates and medals, the winners explained the details of the improvements they received, and the mayor gave them words of praise.
