Together with customers and business partners
Polyplastics recognizes that as a leading engineering plastics company we have a big responsibility to continually supply products and services of value and to respond to customer needs. And to continue to fulfill this responsibility, we believe it is important to carry out activities based on relationships of trust with our business partners.
Quality management
At Polyplastics, all companies acquired ISO 9001 certification (international standards that stipulate requirements for quality management systems) in 2001, and ISO/TS 16949 certification (in addition to ISO 9001:2000 requirements specific to the automotive industry, international standards in regard to quality management systems in automotive-related industries) in 2004.
This Quality Management System (QMS) is placed as one of the companyfs key management systems and we are working on solutions to important tasks in conformance with the PDCA management cycle.
Green procurement
For details, see Procurement Assessment in the Product Safety section.
Green purchasing
At our plant and R & D division in Fuji, we take the lead to purchase "eco-marked" office supplies such as stationeries, papers, and office equipment.. The number of those products we purchase increases every year; in fiscal 2007, it rose to 74 items.
Green distribution
In recent years, global warming has become a problem and companies also need to positively work out solutions to the problem.
We are developing activities together with distribution companies to curb CO2 emissions involved in
raw material procurement and product shipment.
Specific efforts include transportation route adjustment, the modal shift to utilize railways and other modes that enable earth-friendly volume transport, improved loading ratio when utilizing truck transport, and introduction of eco-driving.
Establishment of a Technical Solution Center (TSC) in China
Technical Solution Center was established in Shanghai as a branch of Polyplastics (Shanghai) Ltd. and began its operation in December 2007. The new TSC has injection molding machines, analysis equipment, property measuring instruments, CAE*, and other facilities, and a 50-capacity seminar room.
We will directly meet the increasingly greater demands of our customers in China.
* CAE (Computer Aided Engineering): A support system utilizing computer technology for preliminary considerations related to product design, manufacturing, and process design.
Award from Shizuoka Prefecture for development of new fracture surface analysis technology
On October 23, 2007, Polyplastics was awarded the Shizuoka Prefecture Governorfs Prize for Scientific and Technological Advancement for developing new technology of fracture surface analysis.
With the development of this new technology, it is now possible to distinguish between similar fractured or damaged surfaces and specify the cause of fractures. This enabled us to inform customers of the proper methods to deal with problems as a smooth solution.
