Epson quality point of view. (Ref. from Epson code of conduct 2014)
3.2 Fulfilling the Quality Policy
Epson’s Quality Policy consists of seven concrete action guidelines for creating products and services that
please customers and earn their trust.
We will pursue customer satisfaction by remembering and implementing the Quality Policy guidelines in every
stage of the “create, produce, and deliver” cycle and by reexamining and improving the way we work on an
ongoing basis.
Quality Policy
1. We will solve problems by directly observing all operations and processes.
2. We will quickly complete the Plan, Do, Check & Act (PDCA) cycle in all situations.
3. We will thoroughly analyze any failures, and establish procedures based on that analysis, so that
mistakes are never repeated.
4. We will proactively consider our customers’ satisfaction so they will genuinely prefer purchasing Epson
products and feel confident using them.
5. We will seize the opportunity presented by customer comments and complaints to inform our decisions
when designing new products.
6. We will readily report even negative information.
7. We will foster a climate in which attention is paid to even the most commonplace events.
3.3 Pursuing a vision of us and the customer
Background
Our CS and quality program is not intended to provide quality, functions and services that we think are great
but our customers do not really want or need. Nor does the program encourage pursuing these things without
regard to cost. We create customer value when we provide products and services that customers actually
want. If we do so, we make a reasonable profit from our customers in exchange.
We then reinvest some of those profits to create new customer value. This cycle is the purpose of a company.
Our vision
Our CS and quality program seeks to satisfy the customer by thinking of our work from the customer’s point of
view, remembering that our true customer is the end user. At heart, it is all about creating customer value. To
do this, we have to understand customer problems, their wishes, and what they want to be able to do. Then we
have to make a concerted effort to provide them with solutions.
This is true even if you do not deal directly with customers. You need to be conscious of the extent to which
you are contributing to customer value through the support you provide to people who do deal more directly
with customers. Remember that your work is meaningless unless it ultimately leads to customer satisfaction.
Our obligation
1. In all our work, our obligation is to maximize product flawlessness from the start and minimize the need for
fixing imperfections later.
2. At all times, our obligation is to take on our work from the customer’s point of view so the customer will be
satisfied.
Case studies / Q&A
Internal case study
Development of color inkjet printer “GP-C800”
The development of the GP-C800 was triggered by an employee’s desire to solve a customer’s problem.
In Taiwan most hospitals and clinics dispense medicines in a bag made from fanfold paper. A dot-matrix
printer is typically used to print dosage information and other instructions on the bags. After visiting a
hospital several times, an employee realized that a business like this wanted to be able to print a large
volume of prescription bags quickly and quietly without paper jams. They also wanted to print color photos
of medicines on the bags to help ensure that patients correctly identify the medicines. The employee
realized Epson could provide a solution with an inkjet printer capable of handling fanfold paper.
And to maximize ease of use, product designers modified the size and placement of buttons so that they
would be easier to operate while wearing gloves. They also increased the amount of ink on-board by
having duplicate cartridges. Epson moreover developed a new mechanism that protects the print head
from paper dust and sharply increases its durability. Thanks to this innovation, these printers deliver up to
1.2 million total prints.
Point to note
We can create and offer products with customer value when we keep listening to customers and use
Epson’s technical strengths to fulfill their wishes and solve their problems.
Q1: I work in manufacturing. How does my work relate to the customer?
A1: Product quality is essential for delivering value to the customer. Always striving for zero defects and ensuring
reliable quality earns the customer’s trust.
We need to work hard at preventing quality inconsistencies by identifying causal factors, such as manufacturing
equipment problems. Constant attention to detail and process improvements help create value
for the customer.
Q2: I’m in design, so what should I focus on to create customer value?
A2: First, know what the customer really wants, that is, find out the customer’s expectations.
After that, identify and prioritize the quality and cost issues to be addressed in order to create value for the
customer, and work together with your team to realize objectives.
Q3: How can people in indirect departments help create customer value?
A3: To create value every employee needs to understand the overall value chain.
Even though the people in indirect departments do not meet with customers directly, the indirect departments
are still linked to the customer through the direct departments.
The quality of our own work affects that of those around us, and it is definitely reflected in the quality of the
products and services we deliver. Direct departments do not create Epson Products and services alone.
Rest assured that they are made possible by the ongoing quality work and support of indirect departments as well.
