For example, for equipment maintenance, in the existing fiber optics systems only measures to tackle communication failure are in place, and the operational process is often found to be highly complicated. There are many aspects in which improvement is desirable; for example, even MPT employees do not have an accurate understanding of which facilities are functioning, and there is no recording of important parameters such as transmission loss in fiber optics systems or optical transmission equipment. In addition, it is often found that equipment manuals and system configuration drawings have not been kept and maintained in the field. Furthermore, it came to light in the hearing survey carried out for MPT that in recent years, a number of Chinese-produced products have been installed that are often found not to have been properly set up or adjusted, resulting in unstable system operation. In order to improve this situation, in terms of the soft component to be introduced under grant aid, it is planned to offer MPT employees lectures and workshops in order that “the divisions/departments of MPT might have a shared awareness of some common rules for the planning, design and implementation processes needed to secure a certain level of quality in the 8-13
