Initiatives in Production

STARLITE’s main products are manufactured by the in-line production method. It is an automated production method that effectively combines production equipment and inspection equipment, to pursue production efficiency and quality assurance. It also can build an integrated production process, from material development and functional design to manufacturing and time delivery, within the domestic and overseas groups. Professional engineers who have abundant experience discuss from the development stage of functional products, to introduce production processes that are particular about quality and technological innovation, and improve of it.

• In-line production method: A method of producing products without sending them to multiple departments.

Commitment to Quality

The functional unit for automobiles is required to have high performance and quality for its purpose of use. Therefore, we have built a quality management system based on the international quality standard ISO9001 and have a quality assurance system that conforms to the quality control standards of each automobile manufacturer. We analyze all processes from the arrival of raw materials to manufacturing and shipping in advance, and always control risk. In production process, each employee promotes skill acquisition and skill transfer in practical work, and works on manufacturing with a strong awareness of quality by learning quality assurance at skill improvement study sessions.

Commitment to Technological Innovation

In the production line organization in concurrent engineering, we arrange collaborative robots and automatic inspection equipment at key points to achieve both quality assurance and productivity. We are also pursuing the latest technologies such as new production processes and digitally engineering. By unitary management of inventory information such as product demand and supply of parts and raw materials, operations according to the situation and minimization of inventory quantity are possible.

• Concurrent engineering: A method of shortening the development period and reducing costs by simultaneously proceeding with multiple processes that make up the product development process and sharing information and collaborating among departments.
