Making Customers Glad They Chose WAKITEC
As a member of the Engineering Department: Design Section, I'm in the position of listening to the challenges faced by our customers and proposing optimal solutions. In our development and design work, we strive to respond flexibly to customer feedback. Our stance is to always prioritize the perspectives of machine users, and incorporate them into our machines. Every day feels fresh with new challenges.
My own work focuses mainly on dust removal and packing machines. For the past four or five years, I've been working on orders for automatic packing machines in particular. I listen to the customers' specific issues, and propose machine selection and layout configurations. After multiple meetings with the customer, we receive the order, and I begin the design work. I'm also responsible for machine adjustment, test operation, delivery, on-site production supervision, and after-sales support.
A single piece of machinery results from the involvement of many people. Each one of those people feels happy when our machines solve a customer's problem, and the customer tells us they're "glad they chose WAKITEC". For us to achieve results within a limited time, it's essential for both the individual and the department to grow and develop. By incorporating diverse perspectives, we can create higher quality products. As the department continues to develop as a whole, we're able to improve our design quality further, resulting in safe, reliable, high-performance manufacturing.

Aiming for Quality that Exceeds Expectations
When my previous company relocated, I started thinking about a career change. WAKITEC was a good match for my salary requirements, and I decided to join. I now work in the Manufacturing Department, where I'm responsible for can manufacturing and handle various duties including personnel management within the department. My aim is to deliver quality that exceeds expectations by enhancing the precision, durability and reliability of our products. Those moments when a product comes to life from a design drawing, or when a new product is completed, give me motivation and a sense of accomplishment. I've always enjoyed work that involves communicating with people, so I want to take on challenges in fields beyond manufacturing, keep improving my communication and management skills, and engage in an even broader sphere of work.

The "Behind-the-Scenes" Team Supporting the Factory Floor
I've always been interested in playing a supporting role, and felt drawn to administrative work that supports the factory floor and the whole company from behind the scenes. That's why I chose this job. I currently work in the General Affairs Department: Materials Section, where I'm responsible for the work of ordering the parts, materials, and tools needed to assemble WAKITEC's machines.
I feel motivation in my work, particularly when I see the parts I've sourced actually being used on-site to form a finished product. When I'm able to successfully coordinate even in tight deadlines, and someone on the factory floor says, “Thanks, that really helped,”, I feel glad to know that my work is truly supporting others.
Something I value in my daily work is "thinking from others' perspectives". The Materials Section communicates with most of the other departments in the company, playing a coordinating role. Instead of taking actions based on my own convenience, I try to always act with awareness of the other party's current situation and what they need.
When a machine is safely shipped to the customer within a tight delivery deadline, I feel a real sense of achievement as well as relief. In future, my goal is to become an essential coordinator, trusted not only by those on the factory floor but also by other departments. I hope to create an environment that encourages smooth communication across department boundaries, and to remain a "behind-the-scenes" supporter, enabling all our colleagues to focus on their own work with peace of mind.
Message to Prospective Employees
In the Materials Section, our work requires coordination with various departments within WAKITEC so that the necessary parts and materials can be sourced and managed with precision and speed. While it may not be a frontline role, we do satisfying work that's rewarded by people thanking us directly. If you're someone who enjoys supporting others, or you're interested in work that supports the foundation of a team, we're looking forward to hearing from you.
