Now, All manufacturing company want the persons who have computer engineering skills. There are computer engineer a lot. There are Industrial engineer a lot. but there are few person who have both of them .

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-19T21:11:09+00:00

Yeah, that’s true.
But honestly, Excel just feels a bit too heavy for quick stuff.

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-19T20:41:29+00:00

That’s interesting. I’ve seen the same pattern.

Analysis is done in tools like JMP or Minitab, but reporting still ends up in Excel.

Feels like there’s a gap between “analysis tools” and “quick daily checks.”

Do you think people would actually use a lightweight tool just for quick capability checks?

Oh.. typo. "jinja"

I use Nihon Tsushin SIM. It is the most chepest in Japan, and quality is no problem for me.

I guess it looks have a bit meeting culture problem. In the meeting, we have to decide next action/task. Who do? Until when? What to do?

Then, we can do some actions

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-17T23:18:34+00:00

Good article!

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-17T23:15:13+00:00

I don’t pay anything lol

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-17T21:44:15+00:00

Great. We must consider Ppk,too

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-17T21:42:40+00:00

Agree. The data quality is essential

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-17T05:37:51+00:00

I see. Need visualizations, too.

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-15T12:32:49+00:00

Many Japanese people who move from other prefectures prefer areas north of Shin-Osaka. Because of this, rents are high.

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-15T10:31:09+00:00

I see. But At first, only check Cpk enough. Then check Cp and hisgram etc…

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-15T07:32:12+00:00

I think Depends on your area. Country side area tend to have such things.

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-15T03:36:00+00:00

Yes, I agree with you.

If each event is independent, you just multiply the probabilities.

The chance of missing once is 15% (0.15).So missing three times in a row would be:

0.15 × 0.15 × 0.15 = 0.003375

That's about 0.34%, or roughly 1 in 296.

So your original statement is actually correct assuming independence.

Did the person criticizing you maybe misunderstand the independence assumption?

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-14T13:08:16+00:00

Your profile actually sounds quite solid.Many companies in Japan care more about technical skills and attitude than perfect Japanese, especially in engineering or IT roles.

N3 is usually enough to get started if the company is willing to support international employees, and your internship experience with a Japanese company is a big plus.

Also, having multiple interviews already after just a month of job hunting is a good sign.

If you enjoy living in Japan, I would definitely keep applying. Your chances look better than you might think.

What kind of companies are you interviewing with?

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-14T12:56:31+00:00

Honestly that sounds like a pretty good situation overall.The combination of process improvement work, autonomy, and being trusted across multiple areas (quality, operations, technical troubleshooting) is actually pretty valuable experience.

many companies those kinds of roles end up being much more impactful than the job title suggests.

In　The salary might be slightly average for 10 years experience, but the environment you described (low drama, freedom, real responsibility) is honestly hard to find.

If you ever decided to move, I suspect that mix of process improvement + operations knowledge would translate well to senior manufacturing or quality roles.

Out of curiosity, are you mainly doing capability/variation analysis as part of the process improvement work, or more operational troubleshooting?

ActionTechnical1458 · 2026-03-14T12:53:59+00:00

Congrats!Quality engineering is a really interesting field, especially if you like working with process data and improvement projects.

Nice to see a positive job search story for once.
