Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Real Entertainment's Slope Management Seminar has received about 11 applications so far, and

I still have about three months to go, so I'm taking it easy lol

Since we haven't included Enta employees at all, the current total is at least 20 people.

But that's beside the point.

Since last week, I've been going here and there, making various arrangements and conducting surveys.

I'm feeling a little relieved that it looks like I'll be able to make it through this spring without running out of work.

The thing is, around this time last year, I had absolutely no work—so I was really freaked out.

 

We were lucky that last year's drop in sales was limited to about 10%.

I crammed a ton of work into my schedule, so I was pretty busy, but it looks like I managed to make up for it.

I had a little free time, so I did some maintenance on the spray gun.

You really have to do this maintenance at least once a year.

 

Does your company handle its own maintenance?

Is this a repair shop?

The structure of this spray machine is actually very simple, so it’s probably better to do it ourselves, though…

An overhaul costs over a million, so it's pretty hard to justify it lol

But the benefit of being able to shift the responsibility for maintenance to an outside contractor is pretty big, lol.

 

Here's the thing: if we do it in-house, people will ask, “Who did the maintenance?!”

However, when you outsource work, you can file a complaint with the contractor, right?

As a company, we pay to outsource work in exchange for saving time.

Since that subcontractor also carries out the work responsibly, they do bear a certain degree of responsibility.

It's a trade-off between money and time, isn't it?

If you do it in-house, the costs are lower since you're using your own company's time and money, but,

It takes away from the time spent on productive activities (earning money).

 

It depends on how you look at it, but I think if there’s an opening, you should go for it, and,

If you don't have time to do it because of other projects, it's best to outsource it.

 

I think this, too, depends on the company's philosophy, so either way is fine.

Personally, I believe that maintenance skills are an asset to the company and its employees, so I prioritize our own company as much as possible.

When it comes to being able to respond quickly in an emergency, I’d recommend doing your own maintenance when you have free time.

It's important to understand mechanical structures, after all ^^

 

See you later.
