Subaru Corporation Announces Organizational and Management Changes
(Effective March 31, 2022 and April 1, 2022)
Tokyo, March 3, 2022 – Subaru Corporation announces the following organizational and management changes.
1. Organizational changes (Effective April 1, 2022)
| ■ | Discontinuation of the Cost Planning & Management Div. |
| ■ | Incorporation of the cost reduction function of the Cost Planning & Management Div. into the Purchasing Div.  |
| ■ | Establishment of the Cost Innovation Promotion Dept. that will take on the cost planning function previously assumed by the Cost Planning & Management Div. |
With significant changes in the market environment of the automobile and other industries, there is a need to address new challenges in the area of cost management, including the increasing difficulty of each task, the development of cost and purchasing strategies based on a bird’s-eye view of the overall supply chain, the electrification of automobiles, and the strengthening of BCP.
In response to this situation, we will incorporate the cost reduction function into the Purchasing Div. so we can develop purchasing strategies based on anticipated changes, optimize the roles of the purchasing and cost management functions, and raise the efficiency of the organization as a whole, with the aim of further enhancing our competitiveness.
In addition, we will establish the Cost Innovation Promotion Dept. which will assume the cost planning function. The new department will specialize in costs-related tasks and planning while maintaining its neutrality in the automotive unit as an independent organization that does not belong to any particular division.
