The members of the company’s
professional staff have acquired the know-how and a
“can-do” spirit. In Japan, young engineers from the
Philippines completed a 3-month to one-year training
course as key personnel, supervisors and operators. They
have mastered specific manufacturing techniques, quality
control, and factory management. The close cooperation
and close communication between the Filipino and
Japanese members of the staff and the teamwork thereby
achieved are the driving force of a powerful YTPI.
The “Yokohama brand” is proud of its spirit of
craftsmanship which has been passed down from generation
to generation of engineers. Company inspectors can
detect imperfections, air blockages, for example, not
visible to the naked eye by simply touching a tire only
once. Quality control engineers in charge of tire
molding seeking perfect curvature do not tolerate
imperfections as small as hundredth of a millimeter.
This is the type of dedication to product quality
engendered by the Yokohama spirit. YTPI will pursue this
company philosophy. The strong ties that have already
been formed between the Filipino and Japanese personnel
of the company will strengthen this spirit. This will
lead to the full development of a professional staff and
high-tech production system that will guarantee tires of
the highest quality, “Reliable Yokohama brand” tires to
be shipped from the Philippines. |
