$B7oL>(B: RE: Changed OEM Contract
Dear Mr. Glaeser,
I am sorry I could not reply to your e-mail last
week.
I had to check some points internally in azbil
(Yamatake) group.
Since multiple issues are raised in our discussion and
corresponding, regret to say, I could not find a perfect solution nor come to an
agreeable point with your proposed letter and draft
contract.
I understand your problem with 23 unit inventory. Here
I can confirm that we also have same problem.
Based on the present contract, Yamatake had already
scheduled and prepared parts and completed units for the volume of
25 sets per year in our factory before we started working on solution
of those three technical issues found in May 2008.
To be more precise, contract volume and the shipped
units are .....
The first year (up to Mar 2008)
Yamatake shipped 20 units
10 in Dec 2006
5 in Aug 2007
5 in Jan 2008
5 in Feb
2008
This was perfectly in line with the
contract.
The second year (Apr 2008 to Mar
2009)
Yamatake shipped 0 units
Dr. Koerte told me in the last meeting in Butzbach that
the next call off order will be 2Q 2009.
But this will not be a big volume. So 25 units are
short.
This 2nd year gap caused big red figures already
in 2008 Profit/Loss in Yamatake Europe, honestly
speaking.
We also have to explain to our auditor about these
pending shipments in spite of the existing contract.
But I do not want to ask any compensation for this to
RMG. This happened due to technical subjects which both RMG and
Yamatake could not foresee at the time of contract. Yamatake will explain
this to auditor and find a way to survive under this severe conditions. I
really would like to accelerate the business with RMG immediately after these
tech issues solved (almost there, I think).
****
The reasons why I proposed an amendment of the contract
are ;
(1) to update prices
(2) to re-set the starting point as April
2009 when next call off order can be scheduled
(3) to position RMG as a top primary distributionship
partner in Germany
Now you proposed replacing the contract, starting
annual operation October 2009, then first call off January
2010.
As this is a huge re-direction of the
business schedule and we are talking about the things of one year
later, I would like to propose that RMG and Yamatake will have business
re-planning meeting sometime in 3Q 2009, By referring marketing and sales
actions of RMG 1Q and 2Q 2009, we can have more visibility for 2nd half 2009 and
2010 forecast and have more confident contract together
then.
Yamatake would like to concentrate problem solving
intensively at this moment which is the most important to
enable launching the business, shipping the system and getting return of
our investments. Once PGC6000 is ready, Yamatake protects you as a selected
distributor in Germany as promised. New price is applied whenever RMG
is ready to place the next order.
Let's move on together !!
Sorry for this long text, Mr.
Glaeser.
Your understanding of this Yamatake view would be much
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Toru Ishikuma
