OUR Procurement
On the Frontline of Protecting Component Quality
We ensure uncompromising quality assurance for every procured component, delivering “safety and trust” to our customers.
Through lot management and barcode-based traceability, as well as systems that promptly identify and isolate in-process and inventory items in the event of defects, we have established a robust framework to safeguard quality.
In addition, by conducting regular supplier audits and improvement guidance, along with thorough defect analysis within our factories and in the market (including root-cause analysis, FTA, and FMEA), we continuously strive to enhance quality at its very foundation.
Toward Optimization of Cost and Supply
Amid rising component costs, we leverage our strength as a company that provides integrated services from design through manufacturing to propose solutions such as reducing the number of components or designing with more cost-effective and stable alternatives.
We have built a strong network with approximately 430 trusted suppliers in Japan and abroad, ensuring the stable supply of about 28,000 component types (as of September 2025).
Our flexible procurement system is capable of supporting short lead times and high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) manufacturing, meeting our customers’ diverse needs.
