Quality Management System
Nifco has established and is operating and managing a quality management system, (hereinafter referred to as "QMS"), based on the IATF 16949 international quality standard for the automotive industry, ISO 9001 international quality standard, and customer-specific requirements.
In Japan, since obtaining IATF 16949 certification in November 2018, we have been promoting the development of systems, the establishment of mechanisms, and continuous improvement activities as a QMS. Nineteen of our overseas sites have obtained IATF 16949 certification.
Integrated production and stable supply of products
Nifco meets customer expectations with a consistent quality assurance system as a pillar of its operations, from product planning and development to after-sales service.
In addition to the production system at our own factories, we also collaborate with our subcontractors to ensure stable quality and supply.

Co-creating new value from the field (G-NNP Activities)
Nifco has been implementing G-NNP activities since 2015 to promote quality improvement.
In order to raise awareness of our goal of improvement among all Nifco Group employees, we conduct activities and promote active participation in these activities at all sites, including those overseas.
Once a year, improvement activities conducted by each of the six regions are presented at a competition. The sites with the best activities advance to the world competition, where the most outstanding site is crowned the champion..
The presented examples of improvements from these competitions are also posted on the company's portal site to further promote the spirit of improvement throughout the entire organization.

Establishment of a quality-related education system
In order to raise the quality awareness of all employees, Nifco regularly conducts internal quality-related education seminars such as quality education for new employees, quality compliance education, and internal auditor education. Among these, quality compliance education is provided to all employees in all related departments to prevent recurrence of serious incidents. This initiative seeks to fulfill our social responsibilities and elevate our corporate standards.
