Quality Assurance (QA)

Basic Concept

At Fujikura Group, each business unit and affiliates establishes and operates a Quality Management System (QMS) based on international standards such as ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and ISO 13485, according to the products handled and customer requirements. Through this, we strive to provide products and services that meet the expectations of society and our customers.

Quality Assurance System

Fujikura's Corporate Quality Management unit operates as an independent organization from business units (sales, design, manufacturing, etc.) to ensure thorough quality compliance and to realize quality assurance (QA) from the customer's perspective.

Within group companies, organization responsible for quality assurance (QA) is independent of organization manufacturing and technology unit and works in cooperation with the Corporate Quality Management unit.

Fujikura Group considers thorough quality compliance as one of its most important management priorities and is continuously working to strengthen its quality governance. By clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the quality assurance (QA) unit, ensuring its independence, and promoting the digitalization of quality assurance (QA) operations, the group is striving to improve the reliability of quality assurance (QA).
quality assurance (QA) unit, operating independently, is committed to ensuring quality from the customer's perspective and plays a central role in supporting quality. Under this structure, we are strengthening cross-group quality governance and promoting the provision of high-quality products and services.
Furthermore, we are undertaking the following initiatives to improve quality compliance awareness and enhance quality management.

Measures for Product Safety

Quality-Related Complaints are the last things customers want to have, so Fujikura continues to make efforts to minimize any complaints. Most manufacturing is done at domestic and international Fujikura group companies, and to stop re-occurrence of Quality-Related　 complaints, our group companies cooperate to research reasons for claims and implement responses.

Corporate Quality Management Unit operates as an independent organization separate from the business divisions. In order to enhance the independence of quality assurance activities, we are diligently implementing a clear division of responsibilities, including group companies, and advancing the digitization of systems.
