Workstyle improvements achieved through the Megmilk Snow Brand initiative to improve work productivity and work reforms implemented since FY2016 have achieved numerous results, including reductions to overtime hours that exceed goals and employee returns via incentive payments.
In FY2017, each section engaged in an initiative to improve meeting efficiency, shift to paperless meetings, improve time management (reduction of overtime hours), and further promote paid leave acquisition, and the \u201c3\/4 Challenge Activities\u201d to reduce workload related to indirect tasks that occur among various sections. In FY2017, we also conducted a test run of a telecommuting structure. Based on those results, we made improvements and adopted the system full-scale beginning in FY2018.
In FY2018, various sections, including R&D, Purchasing, Production, Sales, and Logistics, cooperated to increase Group value chain productivity by improving core workflows, direct tasks in addition to indirect tasks. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
