6. Other measures
In accordance with the Mid-Range Business Plan, Epson will continue to transfer resources to growth
businesses and strategic businesses. In addition, Epson will steadily replace temporary workers with
full-time workers as it seeks to stem the outflow of labor costs.
Other plans call for a review and consolidation of domestic and overseas business sites, strict selection of
capital expenditures, and rigorous analysis and selection of research and development themes. These efforts
are expected to yield fixed cost savings of approximately ¥20 billion in FY2009.
The benefits expected to be realized as a result of the ¥76.2 billion in business structure improvement
expenses and the impairment loss generated by the measures taken in the electronic device businesses are
as follows.
According to the new Mid-Range Business Plan, Epson, facing harsh economic conditions, will take
various measures to return to profitability and transfer its management resources to strategic areas. Epson
will steadily move forward with its plan as it seeks to realize the goals of SE15.
