Personal Profiles

  Started to work at Procurement Div. at the age of 50.

  Pursued how to achieve the optimal procurement and recognized the problem on the way of purchasing based simply on the experience. 

  Contemplated this problem day and night and eventually found that “key factors  are ＷＨＹ, ＷＨＡＴ, ＷＨＥＲＥ and ＨＯＷ ＭＵＣＨ.”

  By still more serious thinking, he reached the conclusion that the vital factors are “From ＷＨＥＲＥ and at WHAT ＰＲＩＣＥ.“ 

  To be specific、what is most important lies in the following two points:

・“How can we find the suppliers all across the world?”

・“How can we know the price of the international market?

  Only by sitting in the office, about 90 % of the necessary information came to be collected. By utilizing this know-how, it became possible to approach nearer and nearer to the optimal procurement.  

  Taking the opportunity of starting his company, Ip-labo, in July, 2007, he decided to make this scientific method to be known in public. At the same time, he applied for the patent in the category of the business model.
