オグラ金属(株)の小倉乃里子副社長は、2020年1月22日幕張メッセで開催されたEXPOに参加した際、会場が中国人で溢れているのを目撃した。武漢で新型コロナウィルス流行という報道の直後であり、恐怖を感じた彼女は翌日出社後直ちに「緊急事態宣言」を発し、全社一丸となって様々なBCP（事業継続計画）に取り組んだ。日頃の５S活動が大きな力を発揮した。目下コロナウィルスの影響で自動車関係事業は大幅に低迷している中、同社は自社開発の新たな事業により売り上げ減を上回る予測を立て、新型コロナウィルス終息後の経営戦略完成を目指すとともに、経営体質の改革にも取り組もうとしている。

Ms. Ogura Noriko, Vice President of Ogura Kinzoku Co., Ltd., witnessed the venue overflowing with Chinese people when participating in the EXPO held on 22 January 2020 at Makuhari Messe. It was just after the news of the COVID-19 epidemic in Wuhan, she was frightened and immediately issued a "state of emergency declaration" in her company on her return to work the next day. The entire company worked together on various BCPs (business continuity plans). Their daily 5S activities showed great power on this occasion. While the automobile-related business is currently slumping significantly due to the impact of the epidemic, the company forecasts that their sales will not decline thanks to new businesses developed in-house. They are now aiming to complete the business strategy after the end of the COVID-19, while at the same time trying to make reform of the company culture.
