3. Process – Strengthening of Quality Control Processes
In order to promote the points below, we established the KOBELCO Quality Guidelines of the デュエルビッツ 入金方法el Group. The Guidelines went into effect on May 1, 2018.
- 1) Elimination of Opportunities for the Improper Handling of Test and Inspection Data and Unification of Shipping Standards: Due to the lag in system development and other factors, there are concerns over slight delays. However, we plan to automate approximately 75% of our quality control processes by the end of fiscal 2019 (March 2020) and expect to achieve 100% automation by the end of fiscal 2020 (March 2021).
- 2) Understanding of Process Capabilities and Utilization (with respect to the materials businesses): We are assessing our manufacturing processes to understand the level of consistency in quality, in light of the required specifications. We are also promoting the visualization (i.e., through graphs, indexing) of inspection data in the Aluminum & Copper Business.

The Company has started utilizing quality risk assessment in decisions for key capital investments beginning in fiscal 2019.
Improvements at each location will be continually monitored, and we will confirm the on-site application of the Guidelines through quality audits at each location.
