2018 Open Communication


The Beginning of Smart Change!
MDK Holds an Open Committee Workshop in the First Half of 2018
MDK (Mando Korea) has continuously carried out open communication activities since 2015 to create a Work Smart culture. The Open Committees
(OC), are at the center of such activities as a group of opinion leaders.
In early March, the OCs gathered at MDK for the 2018 Open Committee Workshop to discuss ideas to promote Work Smart in each division. Here is
a look into how they drive change and create a Work Smart culture at the OC workshop.

Open Committee Workshop,
a Focal Point Where Changes Begin
The 2018 Open Committee Workshop to create a Work
Smart culture for each division was held from March 7 to 9 at
the Halla Human Resources Development Center, and 165
OC members from a total of 32 divisions participated.
The workshop, which was held in three parts, started with

Smart Mobility

As more and more individual industries and technologies converge, the speed at which future automotive technology grows is also accelerating.
Technologies once thought to belong to different fields are now organically converged to lead to a new level of evolution. Now, electronic and com-
munication technologies have become key elements that are inseparable from the automotive industry, and their importance keeps on increasing.
We examine the future of smart mobility with keywords from the electronic and communication fields, which were at the center of attention at the
Consumer Electronic Show (CES) held earlier this year, and the Mobile World Congress (MWC), the world’s largest mobile exhibition, as well as the
PyeongChang Olympics.

has become more complex. However, upgraded future auto-

Quality is Our Pride


My quality control career started 13 years ago in a Toyota
engine manufacturing plant, where I gained my basic knowl-
edge about quality management in the entire manufacturing process.
This experience was of a great help for me in smoothly adapting to
the Mando environment, as well as in developing the quality control
department at MCP with new local staff and Korean superiors. Among
others, I would like to thank Kim Youn-ho (Simon), who showed con-
tinuous support through mentoring and experience-sharing. I am also
grateful to Kim Jang-sub (Joseph), who has served the same role as

my mentor.
My major responsibility is to manage the QC team, currently
made up of 53 members. Our main job is mass production
quality control, which ranges from warehousing inspection to
in-line inspection, verification, and reliability test and to cus-
tomer service. We are also in charge of maintaining control
devices and managing the IATF 16949 system.
Because MCP is producing three different types of products
(suspension, brake caliper and steering), QC’s responsibil-
ities are tripled. The staff in charge of QC needs to have
a high level and wide range of knowledge about all of the
products, and an open mind. In other words, they need to be
universal experts.
MCP is recognized by its customers for its quality. MCP has

A Festival of Colors where


Everybody is Equal
India’s Holi Festival
Edited by the Editorial Office

Every March, India is dyed with bright colors because of the Holi festival, which is for thanking for a good harvest and greeting spring. On March 2
this year, 1.28 billion Indians came out to the streets to celebrate together by throwing colored powder and water at each other.
India is very diverse country where varieties of physical features and cultural patterns co-exist. English and Hindi are the official languages, but there
are about 800 languages and 2,000 dialects altogether, and as many as 22 of them have been selected as official languages by states. There are no
less than 15 different languages in a panel on India’s paper money, in an alphabetical order. Numerous religions co-exist, from Hinduism to Islam,
Buddhism, Christianity, Sikhism, etc., as well as various ethnic groups. If diversity is a key word representing India, integration is a value shared and
followed by all Indians.

Holi was originally a Hindu festival, but it has developed into one
enjoyed by everybody regardless of religion, race, age and eco-
nomic status. The colored powder and water signify the victory of
good over evil and the arrival of spring after winter. It is held on the
full moon day of the last month in the Hindu calendar (early March
in the solar calendar). It differs depending on the region, but it is
usually held for two days to a week, and there are some places
where it is celebrated for two weeks.
The origin of Holi is very interesting. A long time ago, there was
a god named Krishna, who was the adopted son of a herdsman
couple. He was loved by many girls because of his good look and
charms, but only Radha was in his heart. Krishna was worried
that Radha, who had fair skin, would not like his dark skin color.
At the advice of his mother, he had some friends come over and
play by throwing colored powder and water at each other. Soon,
their bodies were coated in different colors that covered their skin
color. Consequently, Krishna and Radha fell in love, and the game
they played was passed down to become the Holi festival of today.

MSI members gathered to celebrate Holi.

All Existences Mingled to Become One


During Holi, everybody becomes equal regardless of status, religion or
gender. Some may throw powder and water at people they have crush
on or shower friends or neighbors with powder for reconciliation over of
old scores.
The key rituals of Holi are performed over four days, including two days
before the festival. On Rang Pashi, two days before the full moon, all
family members gather to cover each other with colored powder and
water to wish them love and blessings. On Puno, one day before the
full moon, neighbors gather to burn a straw effigy of the witch Holika.
Unnecessary goods are burned together to send away the old days and
greet the new spring.
Parva, the day of the full moon, is the highlight of Holi. On this day, many
people come out to the streets, starting in the morning. They shout “Holi”
and throw colored powder called “Abir” at each other, laugh and play,
forgive and forget, say thanks and enjoy the festival.

Greetings Mando family members! I would like to invite everybody to the exciting Holi festival held in
India every year. The staff of MSI spent a wonderful time at the annual festival. This year,
commemorative events were held to celebrate Holi at the Gurgaon and Bangalore offices on
March first and second.
Forget all hatred and sorrows and throw beautiful colors at each other. Why don’t you spend
a fun time with your friends, families and co-workers while eating delicious traditional
sweets such as Gujiya, Pakodi, Thandai, etc., which are varied like the colors?

2018
Today and Tomorrow’s Indian Automotive Industry
The Auto Expo has been India’s representative motor show since it began in 1986. It is the largest motor show in Asia and the second largest in the
world. It is held biennially in even-numbered years in the capital city, Delhi.

Auto Expo Grows with the Development of India’s
Automotive Industry
The Auto Expo, which started in 1986, has served as a window of
technology transfers showing how India’s automotive industry has
been absorbing new technologies, and it has stimulated indigenous
efforts and R&D to adapt these technologies for the local conditions.
With continuing success, it has developed into the most atten-
tion-grabbing platform for the industry, providing an opportunity
where participating companies can present their technologies to
the world and industry figures, visitors, organizers, etc. can mingle
together. The Auto Expo is now introducing technologies that would
open the way for future transportation.

Auto Expo, Leading the Future of India’s Automo-


tive Industry
In February, MSI (Mando Softtech India)
employees attended Auto Expo 2018
Components Show held in Delhi, as well
as the Motor Show held in Greater Noi-
da, National Capital Region (NCR) to
take a look at automotive industry trends
and future directions. As expected, sev-
eral new concept cars debuted at the
Expo, along with many mass production-ready cars.
This year’s Expo had a total of 500 product displays from more than
119 exhibitors. There were a host of electric vehicles and hybrids
displayed at the Expo. Those from Hyundai Motors, Tata Motors
and Kia Motors grabbed particular attention with their various brake
specifications (anti-lock braking system, brake assist, traction con-
trol, hill descent control, hill assist, and drag coefficient).
Mando also participated in the Component Show, showcasing its
technological competence.
As rapid globalization opens up new avenues for the transportation
industry, the focus is shifting towards electric and hybrid cars, which
are deemed more efficient, safe and reliable modes of transporta-
tion.
Auto Expo 2018 (Component / Motor Show) provides directions to
companies that are trying to adapt to change with systematic re-
search and development. The products and technologies on display
showed the global trends in the automotive sector.
