facilities and equipment to be added to or introduced, and for the preparation of drawings and
technical documents.” It is also essential to confirm that the above-mentioned targeted outcomes
have been achieved appropriately and that such outcomes are disseminated through MPT.
(2) Organizational change at Auto Phone Division
The organizational change shown below has been proposed with respect to the framework for
the implementation of construction works (construction design, construction, construction
management and testing) and for maintenance and operation. Specifically, the Auto Phone Division
currently separated into a local line unit and an exchange switch unit, but under the proposed change
these units will be integrated so that the Auto Phone Division has a service unit and a technical
human resources unit. This can be considered an organizational change to provide the “marketing
function and service/customer development function” described in Section 5.3.5 as being a challenge
in the improvement of the telecommunications service. It can be considered a new organizational
plan looking ahead to privatization. The planned organizational structure is shown in Fig. 8.1-3. It
will be necessary, however, to closely monitor the results of this kind of organizational restructuring
process.

8.2 O&M and Management
In the preceding Section 8.1 Project Implementation Plan, the shortage of human resources
needed to implement this project has already been noted. It can easily be imagined that there will be
a shortage of operating/maintenance and management personnel following the implementation
process. With regard to the shortfall in human resources for operation and management, hearing
surveys and discussions were held with the management and field-level employees at MPT.
8.2.1 O&M and Management at Present MPT
The present situation of O&M and Management in MPT is pieced out by hearings from several
main organizations.
