 The
market economy society in the 21st century needs information networks. The cooperative
has established a network system for common use of production information.
Demand for delivery of small lots in a short period of time has been increasing
recently. We must take prompt measures to quicken production of woven labels.
The new system provides information on the production condition of the cooperative
members, and is effective for adjustment of production ability.
We believe that the Intranet contributes to the activation of the textile industry
in Maruoka-cho and gives us many advantages. |

| Condition
of companies (as of March 2001) |
|
The Japanese economy is still in a long slump,
and there is no bright future in store for us. In May 2000, CLARE Co., Ltd. suddenly
advised us to stop production of raw rayon yarn, and the cooperative could not
sell the major products after that.
Consequently, the sales and profit decreased drastically after 2001. We are in
danger now. We have already developed FS yarn. We have increased the number of
strong FS yarn colors with luster and beautiful hues, and prepared a sample book,
which includes 3M yarn. We are now trying to expand the sales routes.
We also promote establishment of the information network, and send our information
all over the world and create new business chances.
We have established a basic system to prepare a homepage, order/accept product
orders, control production/inventory/lot, etc. and improved the management efficiency
of the cooperative itself and cooperative companies.
In addition, we develop new products and find new sales routes as well as make
investigations on procurement of raw materials to reduce production costs.
By the development of the above projects, we support one another and improve our
economical and social status based on the principle of the cooperative, "cooperation". |
