Quality Management System1-1.png

Under the quality management system, with the Representative Director of Board, President serving as the Chief Quality Officer, internal quality audits and company- wide quality management reviews are conducted twice a year to confirm that the management system complies with ISO/IATF standard requirements, and that the management system is functioning effectively to ensure continuous quality improvement and the prevention of quality problems.

Quality Compliance Education

We conduct Quality Compliance Education every November in conjunction with Quality Month (organized by the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers, the Japanese Standards Association, and the Japan Productivity Center) to foster and establish a quality compliance mindset in all employees.
This training is offered to all employees, and has been extended to mid-career employees since 2020 and to foreign technical interns since 2021. Through these measures, we are continuously working to ensure that all employees involved in manufacturing are united in their efforts to address quality compliance issues from the perspective that data submitted to customers is part of our products and services, and that we value quality. In FY2023, we conducted e-learning education focusing on 5S*, the basis of quality compliance education.
