Initiatives for Quality Improvement

We deliver the highest quality processed products in the shortest delivery time possible through various quality control initiatives.

Processing 50: Inspection 50

 

Invest Equally in "Processing" and "Inspection"

The ratio of our investment in "Processing" to "Inspection" is one-to-one (expressed as "Processing 50: Inspection 50") in virtually everything from equipment and human resources to internal rules, to make sure we always provide high-quality processed products.
The percentage of inspection equipment in our factories is higher than in most others, and many customers who visit our factories note the high number of inspection machines.

Inspection Built into Processing Procedures

We conduct detailed inspection, even during processing, in order to achieve both the delivery date and quality desired by our customers reliably.
Highest-quality processed products are achieved in the shortest delivery time possible while preventing significant rework and minimizing wasted material costs and time.

5 Principles of the Tamachi Method

 

No matter how great the equipment, mistakes are made if the people operating it do not follow established rules. Tamachi Industries has created a workplace mindset, the "5 Principles of the Tamachi Method," for all staff members in order to prevent mistakes, and displayed posters at every location onsite to provide clear instructions.

  • Principle 1
  • Do not rely on memory when inputting numerical figures. Always use notes and check each figure by saying it aloud and pointing to it.
  • Principle 2
  • Compare pre-work state with post-work results by carefully looking at the respective drawings, and foster an eye for detail to identify any potential defect.
  • Principle 3
  • Aim at creating production processes that incorporate reliable quality by precisely implementing all manufacturing instructions and records.
  • Principle 4
  • Do not make arbitrary interpretations. Think carefully, check, and understand accurately before taking any action.
  • Principle 5
  • Significant problems may be hiding behind even the slightest doubt.
    Do not let things go, instead work to solve them by reporting, contacting, and consulting with your boss or GM.
