Quality Control
Quality Control
As a corporation responsible for the manufacture and distribution of products and services that cover a wide range of fields, both domestically and overseas, the Yamazen Group takes an active approach to ensuring the safety of its products, etc. We take steps to enable those who use products, etc. handled by the Yamazen Group to utilize them in safety and to be left satisfied.
Risk Management System
- The Yamazen Group has formulated quality control regulations to facilitate the supply of safe products, etc. that engender peace of mind, and win the satisfaction and trust of customers. In addition, we have set up a “Quality Control/PL Committee” with jurisdiction over quality management for the company as a whole, and are promoting various quality control activities.
- A “Risk Management Committee” has also been established to provide a system to respond to emergencies, such as a serious product-related accident which results in significant damage to a customer.
- We make continuous efforts to improve product safety. These include identifying and evaluating risks involved in product use, including improper use. We strive to feed the results of these evaluations back into product design, components, warning labels, and instruction manuals.
- We develop and continuously review various regulations necessary to ensure product safety. These cover obtaining a clear understanding of product safety standards, quality control, and the suppliers of raw materials and components, and the sharing of information on product specifications with suppliers.
Quality and Customer Service
The Yamazen Group considers it to be an important policy not only to improve the quality of products, etc. but also to respond when quality problems occur. We work to implement an array of measures in the areas of both product quality and customer service.
Improving Quality
1Giving priority to quality
