How do we explain the importance of standardization?

Abstract

Standardization activities are not merely activities to determine technical details. Corporate management should understand that standardization activities will affect the rise and fall of companies. Because system business has a difficulty to provide all the components by a single company, the necessity and importance of standardization activities are increasing further. Human resources for standardization activities should have not only technical knowledge but also political power. Corporates should develop such human resources in a long-term.
