Quality Assurance

• Amass knowledge leading to future through strong communication with customer

  SHOWA gloves are used by various types of customers. Sometimes circumstances happen that we never expect at development. If safety is a concern, we have to correspond quickly. Sometimes we can learn from the customer how to better utilize and improve our product. The point of quality assurance is to catch any product that falls below our standard of quality quickly, and implement the corrective action to ensure customer satisfaction.

  One day we received feedback that the color of the a specific style was inconsistent. In that case, the quality assurance department place a top priority on the feedback. After trial and error, we found a solution to change packaging material for the glove. The knowledge we learned at that time remains as an implemented process that is used in our packaging section today. We are able to reinforce our attributes of our product by having strong communication with the customer. This is one of our important roles within the QA department.

  

• To globalize company to better serve our expanding customer base

  The commitment to quality, is not only a production facility, but it also serves sales that are expanding outside Japan, where our required quality assurance is changing to international standard. Certified ISO9001 and ISO14001, SHOWA is committed to a manufacturing system that meets the world standard.

  However, our attitude about quality assurance has never waivered. Our philosophy of the customer’s viewpoint continued from our foundation and remains our philosophical foundation of quality. With a keen eye on the latest standards in safety we have adopted precision quality assurance. Creating a continuous application of experience and knowledge are utilized in our process of manufacturing a higher quality product, we believe.
