Mitsubishi Electric President Sakuyama Masaki, at a press conference, said, "The biggest problem facing our company is the disconnection between management and employees in the factories." said.
Noting that Mitsubishi Electric needed "drastic changes", Sakuyama said, "I felt responsible for the oversights." he said.
RELEASED BOTH FROM THE COMPANY POSITION AND THE LARGEST BUSINESS LOBBY IN THE COUNTRY
Sakuyama announced that he has resigned from both his company position and his position as Vice President of the Japan Business Federation (Keidanren), the country's largest business lobby.
HE REQUESTED AFTER THE REPORT OF THE EXPERT COMMITTEE
Sakuyama's resignation drew attention after the report of the expert committee consisting of lawyers and academics from outside the firm.
QUALITY CONTROL IS NOT DONE
According to the investigation report released by the delegation, Mitsubishi Electric employees "who engaged in fraudulent transactions" did not perform quality control "with honest procedures".
The quality control inspections of the ventilation systems and compressors produced in the Nagasaki facilities were produced automatically using computer programs.
At Gifu facilities, different parts were used in electromagnetic switches than those already registered with the safety certification body.
In the statement made by the company, it was noted that it will strive to provide a "corporate culture where employees can exchange views with their superiors, tolerate mistakes and encourage cooperation in solving problems".
Mitsubishi Electric CEO Sugiyama Takeshi also resigned in July when the allegations were made. At that time, Sugiyama argued that "fraudulent acts of misconduct" continued in the post-1985 period, and argued that the situation was "organizational".
