 Hello, Everyone! Are you ready for Christmas!?
Oops, this is a nonsense question I already prepared
something for my first Christmas in the Philippines
with my family. I purchased a Christmas tree on last
October, and started to enjoy decorating with my wife
and two daughters. I’m still considering additional
ornaments. If you have any recommendations, I
would gladly accept it.
2 Communique December 2017
Be that as it may, please let me discuss about two
business topics; konti lang. The first topic is about
our financial performance. In this fiscal year we had
a huge workload that MTS has never experienced
before and also recorded 99 million pesos Sales on
September, which is the highest monthly sale in
MTS history. Now we can expect that the biggest
yearly sales FY2017.
As the engineering center of MHI/MHPS group, our Sales
amount itself is not the 1st priority, but it’s one of the important
KPI which shows our contribution to MHI Group companies. I’d
like to take this opportunity to show respect and appreciation on
behalf of the Management for every hard work and dedicated
support. So you all deserve the bonus this year.
The second topic is about my main division of responsibility. As
you know, we were able to start a new performance manage-
ment scheme from last October. We conducted the training for
all line managers and implemented dialogue between Manager
and employee. I’m very glad and proud to see that almost all
managers and employees are positively challenging this change
even though you encounter difficulties when setting the target or
when conducting dialogue…etc.
Frankly speaking, there is no perfect scheme for performance
evaluation in the world, the most important thing is that every
manager and employee continues to sincerely consider what is
best for MTS. If you could do so, your career also would become
much better and better. I strongly believe that the new scheme
will lead MTS to a brighter future. So kindly cooperate and share
your opinions whenever you have without any hesitations. We
are flexible.
Let's get back talking about Christmas. As
you know, almost all Japanese are not Chris-
tians, but we can also share happy feelings
and enjoy party with families and friends in
Japan. Actually there are some surprising
things about Philippine's Christmas for the
Japanese. I think the biggest one is the
length of season, that is to say the concept of
“ber-month”. We Japanese always say with a
laugh "It’s still September! Already Christ-
mas!? Talaga??” But I like it so much be-
cause I can feel the happy mood and Christ-
mas songs for a long time! Especially, I love a
lot of Christmas songs. My favorite song is
"Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow" which
gives me more happy feelings.
Before ending this, can I share my private
concern due to long term Christmas? Actual-
ly, my eldest daughter Yuri has changed her
gift request to Santa Clause a lot of times
already!!
It's hard for me to guess when her request
will be fixed. Probably It‘s too long time for
her to decide her request. If it would be a toy
only sold in Japan...I also would have no
choice but to pray to Santa. If you have any
good opinions or experiences, kindly share
with me some tips on how to address this.
Lastly, I thank you very much po again and
wishing all the MTS families a Happy Christ-
mas and a Blessed New Year!! Let’s all enjoy
the upcoming MTS Christmas party and your
Family’s party as well!!!

 ISO 9001:2015 Clause 6.3 Planning of Changes
By: Niko P. Miso, Quality Management Section
As we all know last October 2017 the month
started the re-organization of the Layout and
Piping Engineering Division, it consists of
Plant Engineering Section and new three De-
partments, which are Piping Engineering
No.1 & No.2 and Technical Support Depart-
ment. The Layout and Piping Engineering
Division successfully complied with the re-
quirements of the standard thru the evidence
of minutes of meeting. So what is the con-
nection of the re-organization with the
Clause 6.3? Here it goes, the goals of the ISO
9001:2015 is to enhance the requirements for
addressing changes at system and operation-
al levels. The ISO 9001:2015 requirements
provide a strong basis for a management sys-
tem for business that supports the strategic
direction of the organization.
Once the organization has identified its con-
text and interested parties and then identi-
fied the processes that support this connec-
tion, addressing changes becomes an in-
creasingly important constituent of contin-
ued success.
Once processes are determined, an organi-
zation will need to identify the risks and op-
portunities associated with these processes.
To achieve the benefits related with the de-
termination of risks and opportunities,
changes may be needed. These changes can
be related to any element of the process,
such as inputs, resources, persons, activities,
controls, measurements, outputs, etc.
Changes are intended to be beneficial to the
organization and need to be carried out as
determined by the organization. In addition,
consideration of new introduced risks and
opportunities need to be taken into account.

 Editor’s Note
Rene S. Golveo
Machinery Division

It has been more than two years since I assumed the task of Editor-in-
Chief last October 2015 of our Newsletter popularly known now as
“Communique”.
It was a struggle at first because I don’t have the experience as an edi-
tor, much more a writer. Nevertheless, with the cooperation and will-
ingness to contribute of all coordinators and contributors, the task be-
comes easier as I thought it would be.
In this regard, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all Com-
munique staffs and contributors. Thank you very, very much.
In behalf of MHPS-TS employees, I would like to thanks the manage-
ment for giving us 3 months bonus this year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY &

PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!
