Manufactuing
 |
 It
has become increasingly apparent that manufacturers of automobiles,
electric equipment, and parts are forming ties with international
companies to produce products in suitable regions for use worldwide.NTN quickly opened overseas production facilities in response to this shift in manufacturing. Since then, we have enhanced our global production system. To provide the needed parts and quantities at the specified locations more promptly anywhere in the world is the objective of NTN's production division. We will continue self-assessment with a critical eye to assure stable production at the highest level. |

 NTN
is incorporating IT in production technology to further enhance
its global production system. One such measure is e-SUPPORT,
which is an Intranet production technology support system. This
system connects our manufacturing centers via the Internet into
an Intranet system where information such as image, audio, and
video about facilities can be easily exchanged. For example,
manufacturing plants in Japan can access overseas manufacturing
centers and use PCs in Japan to operate videophones or video
cameras located inside the overseas plant. They can obtain facility
information on production processes and use the information
they obtain to take appropriate measures or provide support.
As a result, all our production centers can provide a stable
supply of products of standardized and global quality. |

 NTN
was early to systematize production lines to strengthen production
technology. Now, most of our production lines are automated,
contributing to standardized quality and reduced costs. Our
quality control efforts have received ISO 9001 certification.
With this production control system NTN's superior quality products
are earning the high acclaim and trust of customers everywhere. |
