Ippanjin Enpou Yori Kaeru. Mata Hatara Kaneba!

In the large conference room, the window blinds were dropped and a supplementary slide was projected on the front screen.

"Now please report on the current situation."

A woman in her 40s who thought she was speaking touched her glasses.

A man in his late twenties standing by the screen begins explaining to the woman.

"Yes, section chief. Thank you very much.First of all, the sales status of our "Knight" related image products.In the third day of launch, all three types of mail order divisions have been sold out.However, each sales figure curve is growing differently.The first to complete is the cape, followed by the rucksack.And then a little bit later, it's called cycling mets.This is exactly what we originally predicted. "

"I'm sure it's a priority to buy what children usually use."

"You wouldn't feel like wearing a helmet on a regular basis.Analysis of buyers is currently underway in the marketing department, but there is a tendency to have a large number of parents and grandparents with young children.It's just.... "

The female section chief just spoke to a man who was distracted.

"Just?"

"... unfortunately, I knew that there had been such a case with other companies, but apparently a resale has occurred.Obviously we are looking at individuals who have a different impression than the buyer. "

"Really? You can place a limit on the number of items you buy, right?

"It's hard to do what was an organization.Mankai tactics are hard to deal with. "

The section chief gazes at his subordinates who open a tablet PC sitting next to him.

"... this is it.I'm checking listings on several sites. "

Remove the razor and the screen and show it to the section chief.The products sold by the company appear on the search list at random.The image of the product and the sales amount seem to make my eyes tingle.

However, check the rough price range of the amount.

"30% increase in fixed prices.Is that where the profit and loss branch is?It's a used item, so to speak.It's the worst, so it's more than twice the fixed price. "

"We are also responsible for failure to deliver in time.However, this is in a sense a moral paradigm. "

"10,000 yen is 10,000 yen whoever has it.If you put that on the purchase price, the seller will have to sell.Either way, I feel like you are for resale purposes, so please refrain from purchasing it.Even if we do something about it, we're going to keep playing. "

"I'm selling it clearly because I can't accept the return of resale items."

"I suppose you want me to overlook that kind of risk.Well, it's clothes, backpacks, and bike mets.Maybe the buyer doesn't care either.Nevertheless, the best way to eliminate it is to increase the amount of distribution..... "

Everyone in the room sighs.

The reason why you can't do that is real.

He sighed to understand that.

"Everyone's right.Initial production is out of stock.You will also start production in the next lot.Until then, it was approved at the approval meeting.And then, even further. So what do we do with tertiary production? "

The slides of the supplementary materials change based on the section chief's prompting.

"Yes, I would like to discuss it with you about the main production site.Production up to the current second lot is contracted at the domestic plant.Naturally, it is the first time the product has been produced.Initial defects not anticipated.It can never be zero. "

Of course.

Older male employees say.

Everyone nods without arguing.

"We will provide feedback on design drawings, distribution and storage methods, etc. for production from the secondary lot, including retake and correction of the defects.… we have information that similar products from leading competitors will be produced overseas.It seems to switch to mass production overseas rather than domestically. "

"... what is the current difference in price?

"Currently, our cloak costs about 1,200 yen.Rucksack has a difference of 2,000 yen.Consumers seem to have the impression that we are more expensive.The message on the mail order site also gives us a glimpse and a comparison. "

"... I'm confident of the quality and the precision of the sewing."

The section chief's face is distorted by worries.

"The motivation for purchasing these products is momentum, so it's fine.It's not like no one has a disposable feeling of spending just for a moment. "

"Clothes for your kids, backpacks to carry, and bicycle helmets.I don't think reliability is necessary. "

A male employee in his thirties has the same opinion.

A little wedding ring shines on my left finger.It's a generation that buys these products, and his children are in fact that generation of Dom Pisha.

It is an opinion close to the actual user.

"Because it's a character item, children treat it with enthusiasm and brutality.Instead, we should provide a safe and secure place for our children to use it as a business. "

"Nevertheless, once or twice a thousand yen bill, I still can't."

A female employee of an ancient stock makes a voice.

Based on my experience in developing products for children, I fully understand the stiffness of the sunflower in the purse of the mother who buys them.

There are two “visible” items of the same kind.The difference is one bill.

It is very difficult for companies to override a single bill with quality.

"Hypothetically, what would be the cost cut if we outsourced it to the outside world?Yeah, can I ask you the maximum?

The section chief asks.

"Maximum, the cape is 1,500 yen.The backpack is 2,000 yen.I will line up with other companies.But.... "

"Quality drops"

"Exactly."

I put my body on my back and stretched it.

"Naturally, the production bases are overseas, so we cannot directly check the quality of the materials.It will also take time to stop if something goes wrong.Above all, it is the biggest urine in the safety of our products..... "

"Shiraishi, can't you use an anan zipper?

"I think so."

Everyone sinks.

"Shiraishi Yan Yan Zipper" is used in all products produced domestically for children from infant to junior high school.This is a patented zipper developed by the White Stone Group and designed to reduce the need for opening and closing force if used correctly for small children, and to prevent frequent entanglement with the zipper.In addition, the metal material is being reviewed to avoid injury by rubbing the finger hard there.They also have a wide variety of sizes and colors, and boast of the trust they have from their parents and the generations of Zijibaba on top of them.

Domestic manufacturers used it even though the cost was slightly higher.It is also to meet the long-standing trust that you have purchased by looking at the brand called White Stone.

"... when it comes to overseas production, it's hard to switch."

"You may be pointed out the difference from the initial lot.And then there's the possibility of inequality. "

"But the number itself is better earned by overseas contractors.As a resale countermeasure, I'm worshipping the dust of other companies..... "

Hmm, more and more air flows into the conference room.

"What is the analysis of other companies' products?

One of the members sounds when it's boiled down.

"This way. Sewing is a little rougher than ours."

"... sure.And is the fastener a ready-made product? "

Jeez, jeez.

Everyone attaches to another company's product and opens and closes the zipper.

Over and over again, the zipper gets caught.

I made a nasty noise and stopped moving.

"... when this happens, it's hard for kids to undo it alone."

"Yes, when I was a kid, I did a pretty good job on my own.After all, I can't help but cry to my mother. "

"Ah, I understand, I understand.I'm a hero's printed pencil box zipper.There was nothing I could do on the day I bought it and I sneaked it to my grandmother.There are quite a few things you don't know about force reduction. "

Yeah, there is, and everybody says what they think.

Something happens when you're a child, or when you're your own child.

When such a story comes up, the section chief speaks out.

"... let me express my personal opinion that I have disregarded any of the company's management policies"

Everyone looks at the section chief.

"Domestic production if possible.The number is not consistent and the cost is high.But I'd like to bring something safe, robust and long-lasting to the store.It may be a temporary trend or a lineup that may disappear soon..... "

The chin and dim conference room lights up.

Reaching out to the switch was the man who explained during the meeting.

"You can still use it safely and for a long time.I don't want to make this any worse.Of course, overseas production is not bad.However, by doing so, other products will be distributed to the market.That's fine if you can choose that.Let's win trust, not profit. "

There was a sparse applause for the section chief who said that.

Pride and profit.

Company employees follow the policies of their supervisors who extract and distribute.That is why the will is important.

Even if you're inclined to profit, if you're willing to do so, everyone will follow you.

High purity determination, not compromise.That is what deserves to be called leadership.

In a large conference room with no windows, the contents of the thick files distributed to each of them were reflected on the front monitor.

"Now, please report on the current situation of each department."

The man who spoke did not take the hot coffee mug at hand and sipped, prompting him to go ahead.

For the man, Tatsuo Kobayashi, Dean of the Department of Applied Engineering of the Shiraishi Institute of Special Steel Materials, the male chief of the general manager standing beside the screen begins the explanation.

"Yes, Director. There is a lot of it, so I will start quickly.First of all, the analysis status of the relevant materials tested by this "Knight".Although there was no time from roll-out to immediate operation, we were generally able to achieve the four types of performance we had anticipated: the new Knight of Light Full Armor Ver 4.0, the Organ Zamber roll-out model Rock Shattering is Empty, and the original shield of the refurbished Heavy Shield and the repaired Knight.However, here is a graph showing the durability until corrosion resistance.As you can see, the curves for the wear rates of the various air-resistant coatings vary over time.The most depleted is the Heavy Shield Modified Model, followed by the Empty Rock Crush.Full body armor was the least consumed.In this regard, we are continuing our analysis. "

"Although he was used to it and used it preferentially, the wear and tear rate was high, but from the time he touched it, the wear and tear rate of the armor should be even higher."

"You probably didn't feel like you were always wearing armor, but you were moving without touching your nerves.Analysis of the wear rate is currently underway in the Material Development Department, but we plan to focus on the newly developed air resistant paint and newly adopted members.It's just.... "

Kobayashi called out to the man who was distracted.

"Just?"

"... unexpected incidents in data aggregation.I knew that there had been such reports, but apparently there was a view that the original shield owned by the Knight should not be set to outliers.This is a situation where there is a difference in wear and tear rates from our heavy shield modifications, which were obviously operating almost in the same way.The original wear and tear is not so bad, it's better than the heavy shield modifications that we've put into our hearts and minds.Before that, right?The original says, "I don't have any anti-air coating."

I see. Can we take into account the difference in the number of attacks expected from the camera?

"It's a pity that we can't count accurately because some things were out of shooting range or the camera was damaged and could not be captured.It's hard to deal with an attack that causes an electronic device error across the entire floor. "

"Even so, how many times does the outcome depend on it?

"Instead, I think the number of attacks will be higher with the original shield.That said, it makes no sense that there is so much durability in the uncoated wood and metal shields.Moreover, according to the "Knight" himself, it is a very ordinary construction, and there will be no special production process. "

That's true. That shield is a general supply.

Kobayashi rubbed his hands against his temples.

Please don't go beyond the laws of physics.Scientifically, I've just put a scalpel in an oculus.It is difficult to honestly enjoy the results that are superior to the best masterpieces at this stage that incorporate the latest research results, even though there is nothing unusual about the rugged shield (even though its ruggedness is strange).

"... let me get back to that.Unanalyzable added value in the irregular.You can't help asking what you can't understand at the moment.All we have to do is reproduce it or create something that goes beyond it.From that point of view, I would like to propose a tentative plan. "

Following the words of the male chief, Kobayashi nods to his men in front of the desktop PC sitting near the entrance.

"... here's the plan.In a completely offline environment, detailed analysis was performed in advance to confirm the presence of worms, backdoors, etc.We checked multiple names on a different route, so we believe it's more difficult to verify the existence of malicious schemes. "

The monitor displays the contents to everyone only when the keyboard is tapped.Images and performance displays of their "Knight" affiliates sparkle.How dare you think of such a variation.Although about half have not reached the actual production of the plan, on the contrary, about half can be produced for performance evaluation.

... romance is terrible.

Now, as they line up, we find that there's a purpose in the last row.Because the concept is obviously different only in that part.

"Looking only at the catalog specs, we can see that the performance of Unit 4, which we previously captured, has increased by 40%.However, this is only the salt sent by the enemy.I wonder if it is an old type that is no longer necessary from the image.Is there a limit to what they can offer?However, even with the strictest evaluation, there are reports that a 20 percent increase in the specs of Unit 4 is likely to be achieved. "

"The exhaustion of our ideas that do not reach technical breakthroughs is part of the responsibility.Nevertheless, this is a moral problem in a sense.It's a little hard to keep their technology as hostile as it was. "

"Technology is just technology, no matter who has it.It is inevitable that if you see the object and are driven by necessity, you will have hesitation to come forward.The technical gap with the other side opens up if you hold hands.Countermeasures will not lead to a fundamental solution.In other words, peeing will continue. "

"It's a trick to concentrate only on the user's responsibilities.I don't know later just because it is provided by the provider, but I can't dress up.How far will the safety net go? "

"It can happen from such a big ethical point of view, but it also happens in the closer private sector.Recently, the next generation of recording media competition, illegal videos in applications that have become infrastructure, music.Next up is a stylish drink and an idol crowd targeting Papip's trail.I didn't hesitate to grow up with a lot of money, but I won.I tend to win rather than win.Well, even so, you can't completely control it into the human mind.Even if you have the conditions to win, you lose when you lose.That's why there's the wrong place to step in. "

Everyone in the room laughs and laughs.

I work for a company that has experienced these realities many times.I thought it was a stone of another mountain, but I was actually part of it.Conversely, you can seriously argue with other companies that are clearly pushing beyond their limits.

It was a dry laugh that reminded me of it.

"You're right.It depends on whether new stories come out of us, but perhaps it will take some time to come up with a form.Not only around the "Knight", but even the political situation is getting a little smelly.Honestly, the direction must also be determined in order to produce the next lot.Approval of the budget has been won through an internal approval meeting.And then, even further. In other words, whether or not to convert Armor Suit-related technology to Armor Version 5 or later, exclusively for the Knight of Light Speed, manufactured by the White Stone Special Steel Institute.An ally of a dangerous person who opposes the Knight of Speed of Light, known as Quajo, even if he does not convert.Smiley Motomya. We must manufacture a modified version of the armor suit that was also provided to plan a countermeasure against her.Reverse engineering will have to proceed.... I have a dog because I'm afraid of the guard dog next door.Then the next door buys a gun, and this one buys a gun.Next is the machine gun, and then the tank?... don't get dizzy somehow. "

As Kobayashi blurs, the slides in the monitor's supplementary materials change.

"That said, my feet are so deep that I can't go back anymore.Now, the current lot, the production up to Ver.4, is fully packed from design to production and testing in our factory.Naturally, the person in charge will check the progress of the entire trip, work closely with you on any unexpected issues, and complete the rollout as quickly as possible.Deliver to the Knight.Of course, there are some initial defects that are not expected.It could never be zero, but it also allowed for immediate improvement.

"Naturally. The Knight must be active in perfect condition!

Fufu, a young female employee with a rough nose says with a grip.

Everyone nods without arguing.

"We will feed back to the site the design drawings, delivery/storage, and production system of replacement parts during production and renovation from the next lot, including retake and correction of the defective parts.... now that we're producing armor suits, we're going to see parts of the factory that can't be covered by the lines alone. "

"To what extent are you thinking?

"At present, it seems that we can research and develop without any problems up to the range of the Knight of Light Speed and One Step Ahead.There are obviously not enough people and equipment to allocate to armor suits.Sometimes the study of the suit itself requires a large enclosure for information analysis.We also need classes for National University research institutes to prepare the spec devices requested by our collaborator, Dr. White Run.Honestly, it's expensive. "

"... unless you're replacing the enclosure at some college at the same time as before.Besides, if we deliver even more new items, we'll keep a record of our purchases. "

Kobayashi's face is distorted by trouble.

"A hidden base that hides abandoned factories.It will take the form of using the leftover stuff over there.In other words, the division of development bases.The risk is likely to increase dramatically.And there's not as much security over there. "

"Analysis and renovation of armor suits, and even planning countermeasures.The reliability of Dr. White Run and the others.I think we need to increase security. "

A male employee in his 50s raised his hand and said so.

The wrinkles of the raised fingers are deeply stained with oil and dirty.He is the oldest generation in the institute and, so to speak, the guiding core employee.

In other words, this is close to the mainstream of the laboratory staff.

"What's more, even if you scam the staff over there, it's not a White Stone group, it's another company.Given the company's name value, it might be difficult to follow up with the staff who move there...I hate to say this, but some people are worried that their salaries may change. "

"It's too unnatural to pay the same amount of salary on a company scale..."

"I'm not going to live long enough to eat Kasumi."

Middle-aged female employees speak out.

For families with children, increasing or decreasing salaries is a matter of life and death.There's nothing you can do about not clearing it.

First of all, just prepare the vessel. Now, if you're held responsible for supervision, there's nothing you can do.Place the personnel there and finally start the line.

"It is inevitable that Dr. White Run will be the center of the staff over there.Would you step on that? "

"Actually, we're on the victim's side.Apart from what happens afterwards, I want you to understand how unacceptable you are. "

The same boat as Kugoe, but it can't go so quickly.

While it is true that Quajo, and the group called "Lady Loess", are clearly hostile to the Knight of Light side and the White Lane team, they have not met the enemy in an easy way to say that they are allies.

It's a bad relationship that Kujo hasn't come, but he was beaten first and then beaten back.

"Hypothetically, what is the cost of operating a cooperative system?”Oh, may I ask you a rough estimate?

Kobayashi asks.

"This is a graph...Depending on how much equipment and people you move, there's a certain amount of fluctuation. "

"... even though you have a budget, do you have the cost?"

Hold your head at the point where the monitor is indicated by the pointer.

"This will probably cover the initial cost of developing five or six patterns of equipment.We really need to think about whether we really need to reverse engineer. "

"Do you invest management resources in one spot or sow them widely in preparation for some risks?It's not about funding, it's about decentralizing staff wisdom. "

I put my body on my back and stretched it.

"Naturally, bases are decentralized.Due to that relationship, we are unable to immediately check the progress.Remote adjustments will also increase if something goes wrong.Above all, our biggest problem is..... "

"Are you going to ask both of them to visit the Knight?

"I think so."

Everyone's tension sinks.

Until now, the "Knight" related equipment developed and produced by the White Stone Special Steel Research Institute has responded as much as possible to requests for size, fit, and color.The basic design of Ver.2, which is the original elemental body, was not initially equipped with basic and very abrupt performance, but only slightly when there was no demand (?) I tried playing with coloring that ran into my hobbies, but the expandable parts inside had not yet reached 40% at the time of the latest version, Ver.4.

Even at slightly higher costs, variations in response to special situations were also used.In addition to night camouflage, city duck, forest camouflage, and electrical resistance and insulation treatment, there are also voice changers that have been rejected and are not perfect.

It is all in response to the demands of the Knight, who trusted (albeit slightly shaken) the support of a huge organization called the White Stone Group.

I would like to talk about it if possible in the process, but it is not good enough.He is a useful man.Let me be clear.

I'd like to see a lot of them if I could.

"... it's hard to go on here at the same time."

"We won't let them play the other device for nothing.Moreover, it is not preferable for the White Lantern team to move in this location as a white stone group for risk management purposes.If it turns out that the Marmalicky raiders are them, they will be held accountable for our compliance.In that case, we should create a B plan that doesn't go public. "

"There is also a problem with the personnel to monitor.It's the base of the security department, so it's convenient for you.... "

Hmmm, the air is flowing, whether or not you were in the conference room.

"... let me express my personal opinion that I have disregarded any of the company's management policies"

Everyone looks at Kobayashi.

"If I could, I would still like to produce Knight gear within sight.There are security, costs, development progress, etc.However, depending on future developments, this will be the best way to continue our activities.It's not the best. It's only better. "

The chin and dim conference room lights up.

Reaching out to the switch was a veteran employee of an ancient stock.

"Still, I decided to support the Knight.Avoid situations where this is not possible.Of course, batch management in this location is not in any way bad.But just in case. I can't choose the risk in case.Let's say passive, but let's prioritize authentic continuity over risk.Move in the direction you share, including the possibility of stagnation. "

Roger that.

That said, Kobayashi clapped strongly.

Risk and continuity.

Company employees follow the policies of their supervisors who extract and distribute.That is why that clear policy should be shared with everyone.

Everyone nods if there is a clear reason to persuade them, even if they are not convinced.

Sophisticated risk management, not young bravery.

If so, I would call it experience, not cowardice.
