Production
Reliable, high-quality production facilities supported by highly advanced systems and highly trained personnel
Quality Assurance at an International Standard
Stable supply of reliable products whose quality is assured
We enforce quality assurance standards supported by validation systems* developed through our many years of experience as a pharmaceutical company.
We have established a dual manufacturing system with Fukushima and Kumamoto factories backing up each other so as to enable stable supply based on BCP (Business Continuity Plan) even in the event of accident or disaster.
* Validation: Establishing documented evidence which provides a high degree of assurance that a specific process will consistently produce a product meeting its pre-determined specifications and quality attributes
Highly Advanced Control System/Equipment
Highly advanced control system and state-of-the-art equipment that help maintain high quality
Our facilities introduced a highly advanced control system and state-of-the-art equipment that are used in the production of high-quality products. We consistently manage the production facilities of each factory, from purchase planning for raw materials to production planning, inventory control, quality control, and manufacturing information control. We operate our Integrated Production Management System to achieve efficient production and our Supply Chain Management System to ensure a seamless supply of high-quality, low-cost products.
To eliminate human error, we have an advanced manufacturing management system, called CIM-Vision, which imposes strict quality control in line.. We also have RMP Warehouse, an automatic multilevel warehouse system to consistently manage raw materials, finished and unfinished products. These enhancements qualify the factory as an internationally competitive production facility.
Contract Manufacturing
Dynamic progress in the contract manufacturing business, incorporating a highly advanced quality control system
Contract manufacturing is another important function of our production division. Our production facilities have a quality assurance system that meets international standards as well as a state-of-the-art management system. We have earned a strong reputation for the production and supply of high-quality products for other pharmaceutical companies. Our facilities are also equipped with a optimum security system to protect the confidential information of our clients. We are now expanding the contract manufacturing business as our fourth core business, next to our pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and nutritional businesses.
Training of Employees at the Production Site
Various programs and training activities to develop employees responsible for maintaining high quality.
We genuinely believe that quality is the product of hardware, which includes equipment and management systems, as well as the people engaged in the actual operation. Therefore, we commit a lot of energy to training and educating our personnel. The training includes various in-house certification systems, competency-based GMP training, small-group on-the-job training schemes, and various other training programs in tune with day-to-day activities to enable our employees to improve and develop.
