Development department<\/h2>\n

This department develops new industrial sewing machine products and products and devices customized to customer requests while providing maintenance for the products it has already developed.
\nThe department designs products and devices using a 3D-CAD system, analysis tools, and high-speed videos. The department is advancing the development of safe and high-quality products by using and improving differentiated independent technology and using and promoting open innovation.
\nThe department is also developing new forms of environment-friendly “manufacturing” that customers appreciate. The department cooperates with the Manufacturing, Quality Assurance, Procurement, and Sales departments until products are completed.

Production engineering department<\/h2>\n

This department builds production lines and designs tools to perform highly efficient production at factories.
\nThe department is aiming to operate as a smart factory that excels in the lean and highly efficient production of high-quality industrial sewing machines.
\nThe department is aiming to develop, introduce, and apply highly efficient techniques for operation, automation, and labor-saving through the visualization of the working situations of both equipment and workers by expanding its links with group companies both at home and abroad centered on the Ohtawara plant as a mother factory.\"\"<\/p>\n

QA department<\/h2>\n

This department maintains the quality of product as the “fort.” The department implements the PDCA cycle along a quality management system and realizes zero-complaint factories. The department also plays a role in promoting activities to create the base. The department is in charge of executing policy management, promoting QC circle activities that all employees participate in, eliminating waste in processes performed by humans, and maintaining and promoting an ISO9001-certified quality management system.
\nThe job of quality assurance requires expert knowledge of quality control and deep knowledge about industrial sewing machines. The department works behind the scenes to offer refined knowledge to help factories eliminate the production of defective products.<\/p>\n

Processing department<\/h2>\n

This department has two operations: one is to process industrial sewing machine bodies; the other is to process parts for the machines.
\nThe department processes sewing machine bodies (arm and bead) with a machining center that stays running around the clock based on the software instructions for the models being processed. Eight kinds of robots are being installed in the line to handle heavy goods.
\nThe department serves two functions: to process parts for industrial sewing machines and to produce parts especially requested by customers in the manufacturing industry (based on contracted development and manufacturing business).
\nThe department processes small-lot parts, parts for prototypes, spare parts, and emergency response parts for industrial sewing machines with micron-level precision, all with an unstinting commitment to \u201cmake items in strict accordance with the drawings.” The department also performs heat treatments for parts (carburizing quenching and tempering, ion nitriding, and neutral salt-bath furnace immersion). The department is manned by a group of slightly uncompromising artisans who operate their machines with veteran skill and knowhow.
\nThey also apply their artisanal skill to make jigs and tools for the factory.<\/p>\n
