  Recommendation for you to attach Japanese precision technologies to make the quality of your products higher adopting Japanese companies in precision technology field which have basically supported to make Japanese products "high quality".

Recently, it is reported that TOYOTA is increasing it's market share in U.S. and is going to exceed that of U.S. big 3 manufacturers.
U.S. big 3 manufactuers are reducing retail prices applying employee discount price for retail consumers to promote their sales while TOYOTA raised their prices to avoid trade friction between U.S. and Janan.
It is criticized that reducing price by U.S. manufacturers consequently declines their future financial condition while TOYOTA enjoys more profitable business.
It is obvious that it is greatly due to their "High quality" products.
Not only TOYOTA, most of Japanese products are highly evaluated with the quality.

Do you know how Japanese products come to equip with such "high quality" ?

Everybody knows that Japan has accomplished unbelievable economic growth recovering from deathbrown situation after the Pacific War to be current No.2 major great economic power in the world.

However, Japanese economy growth started to export innexpensive products at very low labor cost. In the beginning, Japanese products were called "Cheep but low quality" and then turned to "Inexpensive and good quality" and currently "Expensive but the highest quality" as currently seen in automobile and electronics products etc.

Do you know how the basic power to make the quality of Japanese product higher has grown up?

In Japanese high-growth-period, Japanese major maufacturers organized overall manufacturing organization including subcontractors in various profession under uique contract called "Kanban houshiki". In this system, subcontractors had to deliver exclusively to their client major manufacturers and had no right to deliver to other company. They had to work hard physically and mentally to satisfy their client's severe requirements on strict quality and stern cost reduction while the client guaranntees monthly order amount. With this experience, these subcontractors had accumulated higher and unique teclology and their diligent behavior to solve any problem creating their own unique ideas.
In later period when major manufacturers must restructure their organization under the policy of transfering manufacturing facilities from their home country to overseas to avoid trade friction creating employment in foreign countries, they became not able to guarantee monthly order amount and set subcontractors free to have business with other clients.

Thus, many of these subcontractor companies are currently free from exclusive contract with their previous client major manufacturer maintaining their high precision technology accumulated during their subcontractor period.

They are in various profession such as lathe, grinding, welding, coating, painting, plastic moulds, press moulds, lather beam cutting, special metal materials, biotechnology, nanotechnology etc. required for automobile, electronics, plastics, machine tool, medical, bio, industries etc., all with techlology level they swept over the world.
Manufacturing high quality automobile requires machines with high precision for silent and smooth engine and moulds with high precision for precise body finish. In the field of electronic materials such as polarlizing membrene protection film to control emmision of LED display and photo mask essential to semiconductor production, the consept of precise sense is required and Japan is holding the unchallenged position and Japanese enterprises are enjoying overwhelming shares
Even drastically advancing Chinese industries can not manufacture high quality products without using Japanese machines and materials.

Then, who has been supporting Japanese high growth actually developping various unique technologies?

It is the common sense in Japan that they are not major companies but minor companies who create unique individual ideas with eager enthusiasm every time they face problems.
90% of mould manufactuers with precision technology for high quality automobile production in Japan are minor company with less than 30 employees. It is not too much to say that high quality Japanese automobile production is depending on precision technology by these minor companies.

If you wish to attach precision which Japanese products have to your products, the most recommended way is to appoint Japanese minor companies and to utelize their unique technology with precise sense and enthusiasm in solving any problem as Japanese major industries did.

These minor companies are distributed in wide range of profession lines. Intelligence Bridges will help to find appropriate companies and to negotiate with them. Please feel free to write us for the cunsultation for this purpose clicking here.
