"JUSE Quality Management Level Research" is an annual survey conducted by JUSE. (sponsored by NIkkei Inc.) More than 530 companies mainly from manufacturing industries in Japan were listed for analysis.
1. What is?
Quality Management Level is evaluated quantitatively based on systems and the actual practice to enhance "Quality", which influences product competitiveness as well as corporate value.
Overall ranking is compiled after the deliberate analysis of 6 factors, such as " Top management commitment" and "Kaizen and workshop management".
This research does represent the level of corporate's striving to enhance quality, that does NOT represent the superiority of product quality itself.
