1DKS’ Vision for 2030
Under the Company’s new medium-term management plan “SMART 2030,” DKS will work to further generate corporate value, put in place a code of conduct, and enhance its human resources. At the same time, the Company has identified the three key words “Uni-Top,” “Sustainability,” and “Challenge” as the framework for implementing reforms that will link efforts to maximize intangible assets, including human resources, with corporate growth.
This framework is encapsulated in the “SMART 2030” logo, which depicts our efforts to reach the summit through uniqueness, ensure sustainability as illustrated by the green leaves, and take up challenges as portrayed by the arrows.
2Scenario Targeting 2030
SMART 2030 Roadmap
The first two years of “SMART 2030” are designated as Phase 1 and the latter three years as Phase 2. Ultimately, the aim is to secure net sales of ¥100.0 billion and an operating income of ¥10.0 billion in fiscal 2029, the fiscal year ending March 31, 2030.
Basic policy
- As far as the Company’s organization is concerned, DKS will adopt a business headquartersbased system and establish business divisions by field, thereby integrating the sales and research functions. In addition to putting in place a system that can address customers’ issues and development themes in a timely manner, every effort will be made to engage in organizational operations that clearly define business responsibilities.
- DKS will also establish the Production Technology R&D Division and Kyoto Central R&D Division as organizations that report directly to management in a bid to accelerate efforts aimed at strengthening R&D. Energies will be directed toward shortening development periods while increasing business efficiency and competitiveness by classifying themes to be tackled into short, medium, and long-term.
- Moreover, DKS will work to increase labor productivity by introducing a new personnel system. We will build an evaluation system through which performance is assessed in a fair and equitable manner. We will also focus on human resource development to ensure that employee growth leads to corporate growth. As a part of these endeavors, we will foster a corporate culture that recognizes employees who actively take on challenges.
