Sony baut 8.000 Stellen ab und schließt Werke

Ob mit unprofitablen Sparten auch die DSLRs der ehemaligen KoMi-Sparte gemeint sein könnten, wissen momentan nicht mal die Götter. Mit der Meldung klinke ich mich erst mal aus dem Vorweihnachstgeschäft aus . Unsere Dynax 60 geht ja noch. Abwarten.

Sony Announces Initiatives to Improve Profitability and Enhance Operational Efficiencies in its Electronics Businesses

Tokyo, Japan, December 9, 2008 – Sony Corporation ("Sony" has embarked on a series of measures to strengthen its corporate structure and bolster profitability across the Sony Group. These initiatives are in response to the sudden and rapid changes in the global economic environment.
Particularly within its electronics business, where Sony has been most affected by the acute downturn in the economic climate, the company has already undertaken certain short-term measures, including adjusting production, lowering inventory levels, and reducing operational expenses. Going forward, Sony intends to adjust product pricing to mitigate the impact of the appreciation of the yen, curtail or delay part of its investment plans, and downsize or withdraw from unprofitable or non-core businesses. Furthermore, Sony plans to realign domestic and overseas manufacturing sites, reallocate its workforce and reduce headcount.
Through these measures, Sony will aim to establish a corporate structure capable of delivering estimated total annual cost savings of more than 100 billion yen by the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.

Details of the initiatives to be implemented within the electronics business at this time are as follows:

1. Review of investment plan

Sony has carefully reviewed the investment plan outlined in its Mid-Term Corporate Strategy Update, with the aim of sharpening its focus consistent with Sony's growth strategy, and is reducing or postponing planned investment as appropriate. Specifically, within the semiconductor business, Sony intends to cut investment expenditures this fiscal year by outsourcing a portion of its planned increase in manufacturing of CMOS image sensors for use in mobile phones to third parties.

In addition, following the rapid demand slowdown in television markets, Sony has decided to postpone recently considered plans to invest in production expansion at the Nitra plant in Slovakia, which is one of Sony's sites assembling LCD televisions for the European market.

Based on such measures, Sony is planning to reduce investment in the electronics business by approximately 30% in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, compared to its mid-term plan.

2. Realignment of manufacturing sites

By the end of the current fiscal year, Sony plans to cease production at two overseas manufacturing sites, including Sony Dax Technology Center in France, which manufactures tape and other recording media. By further advancing initiatives including rationalizing its manufacturing operations, shifting and aggregating manufacturing to low-cost areas, and utilizing OEM and ODM partners, Sony plans to reduce the total number of manufacturing sites by approximately 10%, from the current total of 57, by March 31, 2010.

3. Workforce reallocation and headcount reduction

Through measures including the realignment of its manufacturing sites, a review of its development and design structure, and the streamlining of its sales and administrative functions, Sony will implement a company-wide (including Headquarters) rationalization. Sony intends to reallocate and optimize its workforce through programs including work reassignments and outplacements.

As a result of these measures, by March 31, 2010, Sony plans to reduce headcount in the electronics business worldwide by approximately 8,000, out of approximately 160,000 as of September 30, 2008. At the same time, Sony plans to reduce headcount in its seasonal and temporary workforces.
In addition to these measures, Sony will continue to implement measures as required to help assure both short and longer-term profitability and growth.

Sony plans to outline the anticipated impact of these measures, including anticipated expenses related to their implementation, in Sony's updated forecast of financial results for the current fiscal year to be included in its third quarter earnings announcement, scheduled for January 2009.

In der Presseerklärung ist zwar von Umstrukturierungsmaßnahmen, der Schließung einiger Werke und weiteren Entlassungen die Rede, aber zum Glück wird der für uns interessante Bereich "Fotografie" mit keiner Silbe erwähnt.
