Attachment Plug

In 1918, Konosuke Matsushita

rented a two-story home,

establishing Matsushita Electric

Devices Manufacturing Works

on the first floor. In his larger

workshop, Konosuke was able to

expand production to include the

innovative attachment plug and

a two-way socket – earning the

company a reputation for high

quality at low prices.

90 Years

of Design and Innovation

3-Tube Radio

Radio broadcasting was

rapidly catching on in Japanese

households, but the radio sets

the nation was tuning in on were

prone to problems. Konosuke

Matsushita himself was irritated

to have a programme he was

enjoying cut short, and so set

out to design a radio that

“wouldn’t break down”.

Monochrome TV 17K-531

Gearing up for the open

experiment held in Kyoto

before the full-blown start

of Japanese TV broadcasting

in 1953, a group of engineers

joined forces to complete

the development of the first

National TV set, the 17K-531,

in only two months.

Toot-a-Loop Radio R-72

In the early 1970s, the Apollo

11 had just landed on the moon,

signalling the start of the new

space age, Volkswagen Beetles

ruled the roads and roller skates

were a must-have. The Toot-a-

Loop fashion radio, with its objet

d‘art theme, unusual design and

fun colours, embodied the

sense of fun and youthfulness

of prevailing pop culture.

Record Player SL-10

A hi-fi audio craze gripped

Japan from the late 1960s

through to the mid-1980s,

as music lovers sought high-

fidelity sound that was true

to the recording studio. The

remarkable SL-10 employed a

linear tracking system, where

the needle traces the grooves

at the same angle as the

blade that cut the record

in the first place.

THE FOUNDER

A frail, sickly bicycle apprentice who survived

unspeakable childhood tragedy, Konosuke

Matsushita lacked formal education, wealth,

charisma, con nections and even a special talent.

Yet, early hardships produced hidden strengths

which opened Konosuke Matsushita‘s mind to the

collective wisdom of others. The author reveals how

a lifelong thirst for learning fuelled the passion that

led this humble, shy 5-foot-5-inch humanitarian

idealist to pioneer management practices and

advance his philosophy that the mission of a

manufacturer is to relieve poverty and create

wealth, not only for shareholders, but for society. KONOSUKE MATSUSHITA

The concept of a black box was

of something that looks very

simple from the outside, but

which is extremely functional and

intelligent on the inside. In order

to realise this in a form that most

people could easily recognise

and understand, the design team

agreed that the first step would

be to develop a design that

evoked “simplicity in both

form and materials”.

ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS

Additionally, Panasonic aims to deliver greener products. This

entails not only using sustainable materials or building recyclability

into the product design – but also ensuring that the products

efﬁ ciently conserve energy. Panasonic aims to increase the number

of products with top-level, energy-efﬁ cient performance whilst

phasing out products with low energy efﬁ ciency.

PANASONIC ECO IDEAS DECLARATION

In addition to adding major environmental metrics to the GP3

business plan, Mr Fumio Ohtsubo, President of Matsushita Electric

Industrial, recently announced the Panasonic Eco Ideas declaration

comprising three pledges:

1. We will produce energy efficient products

2. We will reduce CO2emissions across all our manufacturing sites

3. We will encourage the rollout of environmental activities worldwide

So what do these pledges mean in practice?

004_005_editorial_eco.indd 1 22/9/08 09:20:49

REDUCING CO²BY 300,000 TONNES BY 2010

By 2011, i.e. over the next three years, Panasonic aims to eliminate 300,000

tonnes of CO2 emissions from its 294 manufacturing plants around the globe.

In 2011, Panasonic plans to further reduce emissions to the level of that in

2001, effectively rolling back its CO2 emission amount to that of ten years

previously. To achieve this goal, Panasonic has established a system where

23 environmental key performance indicators (such as CO2 emissions) are

collected each month from all 294 manufacturing sites worldwide and are

monitored. Additionally, and just as important, the reduction of CO2 is not

only limited to manufacturing activities, but also includes: product planning,

procurement, sales, logistics and recycling.

CONTINUOUSLY SEEKING TO DEVELOP “GREEN PRODUCTS”

Our goal is to help build a sustainable society by accelerating the spread

of products with higher environmental performance. Since starting the

development of our Green Products Plan in 1997, we have worked hard

to minimise the input of energy and resources, as well as the output of

waste and emissions throughout the products’ life cycles. We constantly

increase the proportion of Green Products across our entire product range.

Our product development is based on criteria such as universal design,

which means easy-to-use design for everyone and the minimisation of

environmental impact.

ECO IDEAS FOR EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE

Panasonic is encouraging the rollout of environmental activities

worldwide by taking the initiative in promoting ecological movements on

local and global levels, collecting the insight of not only of its employees,

but also of people around the world.

A Formula For Success

Panasonic and Toyota in F1

Since the inception of Toyota’s Formula 1 team, Panasonic Toyota Racing, in 2001, Panasonic has been

much more than just the title sponsor. By working together closely with the team Panasonic has also been

able to contribute technically to the teams success in one of the most competitive sports in the world.

To begin with, Formula 1 cars do not just have a turn key

ignition like normal road cars – instead a laptop is needed,

and it’s a Panasonic unique magnesium-encased Toughbook-

series of laptops which perform this task for Panasonic Toyota

Racing. A Toughbook is attached to the car, the engine is

initially turned over without a spark such that it generates all

the pressures in the various systems, and the Toughbook is

used to analyse that all is functioning correctly

PCs

The Panasonic Toyota Racing garage and motorhomes

are the most technologically advanced in the Paddock and

contain numerous LCD and Plasma TVs. Panasonic Viera

LCDs, due to their bright backlights, are used in the pit

garage to display the telemetry information collected from

the car during races – vital information which needs to be

shared with all engineers. Unusual for an LCD, Viera LCDs

boast ultra-wide 178 degree viewing angles, meaning that

there is no problem for the all the pit crew to crowd around

and see it. Furthermore, the motorhome is ﬁ lled with luxury

large-screen Viera Plasma TVs – ideal for watching the races

unfold in beautiful, high deﬁ nition quality – and equally good

for showing ﬁ lms to help the mechanics wind-down after a

hard day’s work!

TELEVISIONS

006_007_editorial_F1.indd 1 22/9/08 15:37:06

Overall, through its technical contributions to the team, Panasonic is much more than

just a logo on the car – and looks forward to expanding the areas it can contribute towards

the teams success.

CAMCORDERS By ﬁ lming pit stops on Panasonic’s top-

of-the-range High Deﬁ nition camcorders

and bringing the detail to life on large-

screen Viera Plasma TVs, the engineers

can dis cover vital details that would have

otherwise been overlooked.
