Initiatives to Raise Quality
Strengthen Quality Assurance
- Prevent critical defects
- Increase degree of quality assurance
- Reinforce production preparation and management
Quality Assurance Rating System
Rating the quality assurance level of each product or production line provides us with an objective indicator that we use to establish processes aimed at ensuring zero defective products, while improving customer satisfaction. As well, this system ensures that we are strengthening related operation systems.
Using quality assurance ratings, we analyze the quality assurance process and the status of process control for each product or production line, and we arrange the findings in seven stages for the probability of a quality-related risk materializing. Quality assurance levels are posted at every workplace to increase awareness and to channel energy toward even higher levels of quality.
