Masahiro Inoue, the new president of Daihatsu Motor Corporation, stated in media interviews regarding the issue of fraudulent acquisition of national certification that, ``As our business expanded rapidly, we were not able to match the quality of work with the quantity of work,'' and said that he is taking measures to prevent a recurrence. The government has announced its intention to announce specific policies such as this in the first half of next month.
In response to the issue of Daihatsu Motor Corporation fraudulently obtaining government certification, Masahiro Inoue, who was the head of the Latin America division of parent company Toyota Motor Corporation, was appointed as president on the 1st of this month.
On the 12th, the new president, Inoue, gave his first interview to the media since taking office, saying, ``We have been having dialogue both inside and outside the company, but when we face the front lines, we once again apologize for the inconvenience caused to our customers, employees, and suppliers.'' "I have reaffirmed the fact that we are currently in the process of restarting production," he said.
In addition, Mr. Inoue said, ``Daihatsu has grown rapidly over the past 10 years, mainly overseas, but the quality has not been able to match the quantity of work. It is important to optimize the amount of work by borrowing money, etc., and reorganize the organization to its ideal form,'' he said, emphasizing his intention to prevent a recurrence.
Furthermore, Mr. Inoue announced that he intends to announce specific future policies under the new management team in the first half of next month.
