OHARA INC.

Value Creation Model

The OHARA Group’s “value creation model” is an initiative to realize its brand slogan, “The Future Made Clear.”

• Create outstanding materials that exceed expectations by pursuing the possibilities of glass with core organizational capabilities and processes, and open up the future through value co-creation with customers and processing manufacturers.
• Contribute to elevating lifestyles and cultures, advancing new frontiers, and improving the global environment by addressing social issues.

By putting this value creation model into practice, we will realize the society and the future that OHARA desires.

Points of the Value Creation Model

OHARA’s “Core organizational capabilities” refers to a system that serves as a source of value creation to build strong relationships with stakeholders and to support the sustainable growth of the OHARA Group.
We recognize that OHARA’s core organizational capabilities consist of the following four elements: marketing that enables us to stay in close contact with our customers, identify their demands as soon as possible, and quickly develop them within the company; material R&D that makes full use of the optical glass know-how we have accumulated over many years; production technology that can handle high-mix, small-lot, and ultra-high quality production; and measurement, evaluation, and analysis that can handle ultra-precision fields that cannot be measured using commercial equipment.
In addition, “core processes” refers to a series of activities that connect our customers with OHARA’s core organizational capabilities to swiftly provide OHARA’s products and services. We can provide materials that can be used confidently by applying our research and development capabilities, by manufacturing materials in a timely manner with a flexible production system that can achieve small-scale to mass production, and by meeting the physical property values requested by customers through a precision control system.
We believe that providing outstanding materials by combining and utilizing OHARA’s core organizational capabilities and core processes, and by having customers, processing manufacturers, and OHARA work together to co-create value will be the basis of the OHARA Group’s value creation and the source of establishing competitive advantage.
To solve social issues and enhance value creation capabilities, it is necessary to strengthen the OHARA Group’s human resources and organizational culture. Based on social conditions and the Company’s strategies, we will spiral up our value creation model by fostering a corporate culture of sincere action, craftsmanship without compromise, challenge mindset, intra-group collaboration, and respect for individuality and diversity, and by further strengthening our core organizational capabilities and core processes.
