Ensure thorough quality control in suppliers’ production processes
The Bandai Namco Group strictly observes the laws and regulations of each country. We also establish our own standards. In this way, the Group is working to strengthen supply chain management.
Bandai (Shenzhen)
Bandai (Shenzhen) in Shenzhen, China is an important production management base for the Toys and Hobby business. This is where quality control of local suppliers, quality inspections, and other safety tests are conducted. It gathers and shares information with the frontline to enhance quality assurance activities to facilitate the sharing of production quality issues, as well as takes steps to educate employees and strengthen the inspection systems of suppliers.
Bandai Namco Filmworks
At Bandai Namco Filmworks, we conduct onsite inspection of the manufacturing process covering lines that assemble DVD and Blu-ray Disc packages. Bandai Namco Filmworks also conducts interviews and visits to factories that manufacture goods sold at live event venues following a factory audit checklist containing its own standards.
Artpresto
Artpresto shares its quality control system with subcontractors to maintain product quality and prevent defective products. In particular, for food packaging operations, we use flow charts to clarify processes and share information. In addition, we conduct regular factory inspections to thoroughly implement and improve quality control at production sites. In November 2023, our Inzai Factory and Shin-Narashino VPAC Center obtained JFS-B certification for their operational systems based on HACCP.
