We aim to become an even more attractive international logistics warehouse with a sense of mission in holding our customers' valuable cargo.
We aim to become an even more attractive international logistics warehouse with a sense of mission in holding our customers' valuable cargo.
I am responsible for the operation and management of the warehouse, which is the backbone of our logistics business.We also operate as a bonded warehouse (a warehouse where foreign goods are allowed to be handled), so as the responsible person for bonded operations, we maintain close communication with customs and strive to comply with laws and regulations while meeting the detailed requirements of our customers. Various types of cargo are imported and exported on a daily basis, ranging from food to machinery-related products. As an international logistics warehouse, we always consider the optimal and safe cargo handling that matches the characteristics of each type of product and ensure that the valuable cargo entrusted to us by our customers is stored safely and released without any damage.Warehouse operations cannot be run by a single person, and accident-free operations require strong mutual cooperation as a team.Even for container operations, the forklift operator and the manual worker collaborate daily to carry out the work. I think our company is especially willing to give opportunities to positive and motivated people. Personally, since joining the company, I have gained extensive experience in various departments such as transportation, handling, and sales. We will continue to strive for an attractive international logistics warehouse that is chosen by our customers, and we look forward to taking on new challenges in the future.
I arrange and coordinate closely with my colleagues to ensure safe operations on a daily basis for various tasks that I am assigned to.
I am in charge of general warehouse operations and work closely with on-site personnel and related departments on a daily basis to ensure safe handling and storage of all types of cargo requested from within and outside the company. This involves coordinating with various teams to determine the appropriate handling and storage methods for each item. Due to the characteristics of the cargo, I often arrange for external warehouses to handle them. As someone who switched careers from a completely different industry, I initially struggled with understanding the specialized terminology and practices specific to this industry. From that experience, I make a conscious effort to explain things as clearly as possible to customers and junior employees. In addition, I make a conscious effort to listen to what other staff members are saying and actively join in the conversation, not just focusing on my own tasks.Our company has a great working environment where anyone can consult or voice their opinions without hesitation. Moreover, they value self-initiative, allowing me to grow at my own pace. Although I am busy every day, I have a clear separation between work and personal life. On weekends, I go out with my family to various places. Recently, we have been exploring waterways and my elementary school-aged son has become obsessed with catching crayfish and loaches (laughs). I feel that these fulfilling private moments with my family also serve as a driving force for my work.
I want to gain various experiences proactively, learn office work, and aim to become a leader in the warehouse department in the future.
I am approaching my third year working as a warehouse worker at Daido. When I first joined, I was more anxious than excited, as this was my first experience working in a warehouse. However, the atmosphere at the workplace was very welcoming, and my colleagues were friendly and approachable regardless of their departments, which helped me overcome my initial anxiety. Our kind senior colleagues lead us in discussion and work together to create a positive work environment, which makes me believe that this is a company where we can stay for a long time.In my personal life, I am married and have two children. I pick up my children from daycare after work, so I cannot stay for overtime. However, I am always eager to help with early morning shifts. Thanks to the support of my colleagues and the company, I can balance my work and personal life, and I am grateful for that.Currently, I am working hard as a warehouse worker, but my goal is to become the top employee in the warehouse department. I am also studying to learn about bonded warehouse operations, so that I can take on office work in the future.
I am the youngest in my workplace, but it is a very easy environment to work in where I can feel comfortable asking for advice from my colleagues.
I do a wide range of work, including loading and unloading from trucks, container vanning and devanning, and organizing the warehouse.
As I mainly handle the incoming and outgoing trucks within the premises, I communicate well with the drivers and take care to avoid accidents such as incorrect shipment. I always keep in mind that we are entrusted with our customers' valuable cargo. Although I am the youngest in the workplace, I can learn a wide range of skills from my senior colleagues who teach me various things. If there is anything I don't understand, I can easily consult with my senior colleagues, so I think it's a very easy-to-work workplace. There is still a lot to learn, but I want to work on improving my skills steadily and safely as a top priority.
I always try to be cheerful and energetic, and enjoy both work and my private life. That's my motto.
My job involves general administrative tasks related to the entry and exit of various cargo entrusted to us by customers, reception duties for drivers, and telephone correspondence.Our company handles a wide variety of cargo that requires a lot of detailed work, but I am able to enjoy my work without feeling bored by maintaining a sense of tension and managing it well.Every day, I try to approach my work with enthusiasm and remain focused and attentive. Every morning, I say to myself in my mind, "Alright, let's do our best today!"(laughs).
Due to my advanced age, I was worried about causing trouble for others, but those around me make me feel comfortable and I don't feel the generation gap too much.Everyone is so kind, and the work environment is very pleasant. I work hard from Monday to Friday and have plenty of time on weekends to pursue my hobbies and personal interests. I hope to continue enjoying both my work and personal life.
I changed my job from an office position to a manual labor job, and now I work hard every day operating a forklift.
I was involved in general administrative work as a full-time employee, but because I have always liked physical work, I became interested in forklift operation. I am currently working in the field as a manual laborer, which is a job that I chose and requested to work in.
As a beginner, there are only a few things that I can do, but I work while operating a forklift, depending on the situation, performing tasks such as manual work and checking the entry and exit of goods under the instructions of my supervisor.I would like to improve my skills in driving and operating a forklift through gaining more experience with various tasks in the future.Before changing my job, I had the impression that people worked silently on the site, but in reality, I found that people communicate and help each other, creating a bright and positive atmosphere. Everyone, including male colleagues, is kind and supportive.Another advantage of working for our company is that it is well-managed and we can easily take time off. I think it's great that I can work in a way that suits me without overexerting myself, as my colleagues provide flexible support, even in unexpected situations that require sudden absences or leave.I believe that our company's low turnover rate is also due to this comfortable working environment.
