2.Contributing to society through business
①Improving product quality and safety
Our intention is to continue to be trusted and chosen by our customers by contributing to the enhancement of our customers' corporate value through the provision of safe, reliable, and high-quality products and services. In addition, in accordance with our quality policy, we established a quality management system and obtained ISO9001 certification in 1996. Since then, we have continuously worked to improve the quality of our products. At tam, an independent section conducts final inspections to ensure the safety and quality of every new unit we manufacture and ship.
②Reducing losses in production and supply chains
Since tam was founded, improvement proposal activities have been implemented continuously, mainly in the design and manufacturing departments. However, since 2003, all departments have been carrying out these activities in their current form every day. We continuously encourage employees to focus on increasing productivity by providing incentives corresponding to the effectiveness of the improvements and recognizing even the smallest day-to-day improvements. Additionally, we present annual awards for proposals with significant impact, promoting improvements across the entire company.
