Production line simulation models were shown.



We were guided to a meeting room and got a toy car as souvenir (Scale 1/61).


The NISSAN quality manager shared the quality management system of car production, and had discussion with us.


Then we visited the Vehicle Manufacturing Plant and Logistics areas.


They explained the main processes of making engines and chassis from Casting, Forging, Stamping to Machining, Assembly and Inspection. The production capacity was 20000 per line per year. There were total 150 component suppliers, of which oversea suppliers were only 2%. The components were delivered to the plant every 4hr, which helps to keep a very low stock level.

They use QRQC for quality control. QRQC means Quick Response & Quick Control. The clamping guarantee device for detecting the completion of work was employed (an example of Poka-Yoke application). During final inspection, 120 items are checked, including steering adjustment, speedometer, lights, brakes and exhaust emissions control systems, etc.

In the production floor, components were delivered to assembly line by automatic component trolleys. We observed the assembly of the car “CUBE” which was found to be famous in Japan.

At the same time, primary school students were visiting the floor.

After the visit, we came back to the meeting room for Q&A section. Speaker told NISSAN have 132 QCCs and suggestions raised by QCCs were all accepted by management.

For new staff, they needed to attend 2 week class training and 2 week on-site training before started to work.

Before leaving, a group photo was taken for memory.
