Uchida Forging Co., Ltd. - Successful Case Study of Manufacturing Reform

Yokkaichi-juku, which flourished as a post town on the Tōkaidō, was a junction for pilgrimage to Ise and a crucial transportation hub for both land and sea. Every spring, the cherry blossom trees along the banks of the Jussai River and the Kaizō River in the city attract many visitors. Today, Yokkaichi City is a representative city of the Chukyo industrial region and is one of Japan's leading industrial clusters. From the Port Building (100 meters tall), built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the port, one can enjoy the night view of the Suzuka Mountains and the oil refinery complex at Yokkaichi Port. The company we visited this time, Uchida Kanko Co., Ltd., was founded in the Meiji era. It is a company that designs, manufactures, and constructs communication towers and overhead line hardware based on its technology for processing iron. With a strong technological foundation, the company maintains stable performance and is currently promoting initiatives for improvement activities. I had the opportunity to hear about their efforts regarding improvement activities, which focus on strengthening on-site capabilities.
