Production and Quality System Technology and Production System
Die production system that supports high quality
NICHIDAI uses die-production equipment unrivaled in the industry and precision processing technologies cultivated over many years to manufacture a wide variety of thousands of dies each month. It has established a production control system that combines optimum processes for each product in addition to micrometer-scale precision processing technologies. NICHIDAI achieves stable-quality die making based on thorough quality consciousness in workplaces with the mission of “Own Process Completion,” as well as thorough quality control systems.
Four Strengths that Support NICHIDAI’s Quality
Micrometer-scale precision processing technology
NICHIDAI has achieved high-precision die making through processing knowhow cultivated over many years.
Quality creation based on Own Process Completion
NICHIDAI ensures stable quality by thoroughly following the concept of “Own Process Completion,” which creates quality in each process.
Quality assurance based on 100% inspection
NICHIDAI conducts strict inspections for all dies using measuring equipment such as coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).
Production control based on barcode management
NICHIDAI ensures on-time delivery by managing each individual die with their barcodes and centrally managing their manufacturing status.
Manufacturing System that Achieves High Quality
NICHIDAI thoroughly conducts consistent quality control at all stages from design
through to manufacturing and inspection to satisfy customer quality requirements
without fail.
By sharing quality consciousness in each process of manufacturing, NICHIDAI
ensures stable quality and works on continuous improvement activities.
Four Manufacturing Systems
Stable supply of high quality
NICHIDAI ensures stable quality through its precision processing technologies cultivated over many years and 100% inspection system.
Response to short turnaround time
NICHIDAI shortens lead time by possessing equipment required for die making and establishing an integrated production system.
Cost optimization
NICHIDAI can improve productivity and reduce costs by dealing with all stages from design through to manufacturing and inspection within the company.
Global quality assurance
NICHIDAI deploys the quality control systems cultivated in Japan to overseas bases to achieve Japanese quality manufacturing even outside Japan.
Various Quality Management Certifications
We have obtained certification to international quality management standards and established a rigorous quality management system. We are committed to consistently providing high-quality products while continuously improving our quality standards.
Engineering Organization that Supports Quality
NICHIDAI has established a system that consistently implements all stages from die design through to processing, inspection, and quality control at overseas bases. By linking the knowledge and data obtained from each process, NICHIDAI supports the realization of high-precision product manufacturing and stable quality.
Mechanisms that Support NICHIDAI’s Manufacturing
Integrated production system
Based on customer requirements grasped by its sales representatives, NICHIDAI designs dies in-house and deals with all stages from processing to inspection consistently.
Production control system
NICHIDAI draws up optimum production plans to handle orders changing on a daily basis. NICHIDAI centrally manages manufacturing status through barcode management.
High-precision processing process
NICHIDAI achieves micrometer-scale precision processing using electrical discharge machining, machining, precision grinding, and other equipment.
Inspection and Quality Assurance System
NICHIDAI conducts 100% inspection.
It makes high-precision measurements using measuring equipment such as ZEISS
coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).
Based on total quality management (TQM), NICHIDAI implements evaluation and
verification at all processes from design through to each production process
and inspection.
Collected data is fed back to each process to work on continuous quality
improvement.
Quality management at overseas base
Since die production was started at NICHIDAI (THAILAND) LTD. in 2013, NICHIDAI
has been responding to customer needs in the Asian region.
NICHIDAI has been proceeding with standardization based on the quality control
systems cultivated in Japan and has achieved Japanese quality manufacturing
even outside Japan. It has also been working on skill transfer, such as
training Thai staff at its plants in Japan.
