Development and Production

Striving for Perfection in Manufacturing

In each manufacturing process ranging from planning, development, and design to production and delivery, each department consistently strives for perfection based on the three principles (actual place, actual part, and actual situation) and the five basic principles (adding doctrine and rules to the three principles). To ensure quality, actions are expanded so that faulty products are not included, not made (i.e., impossible to make), and not released.

Development Design

Since its establishment, OMRON ASO has accumulated technologies in a variety of forms through its businesses in power measurement. Designs are updated through feedback on worksite changes in the environment and the manner in which products are used by the customer due to the changes that constantly occur in line with technological innovations. This enables the source of our technologies to be formed from application technologies (i.e., response capability) built up from experience in the actual field.

Application Technology Examples

Design (upstream) quality is built in based on technology logic (i.e., principles and rules) and implementing design reviews (DR) at all points in each stage of the design process.

Production

Production and Process Innovation Guidance MeetingA system is maintained for consistent production throughout the company from mounting of electronic circuit boards to assembly and inspection. A wide variety of daily actions to improve productivity and quality at the production worksite form the basis of our manufacturing abilities. By performing these actions, OMRON ASO develops production and process innovation (PPI) to pursue manufacturing that is unique to OMRON based on industrial engineering. Through actions in close connection with the production worksite, improvements are continuously implemented to achieve QCD on a higher dimension through the application of production technology.

Examples of Production Innovation Activities

Promotion of Skill-free Technology
A skill-free system is promoted and developed by using unique software developed by OMRON ASO to navigate through work procedures to smoothly advance cross-trained workers for achievement of a flexible production system that supports variable-quantity production of many product variations.
  • Promotion of Skill-free Technology
Promotion of Lines with Mixed Models
Production lines with a mix of models are built and promoted to pursue efficient use of space for multifunctional production that enables different shapes and specifications. Products are supplied with quick delivery even when many different orders are received from customers.
