Investigation overview and background
The entire Nidec Group was surveyed for incidents of quality misconduct and their backgrounds. Verification included multiple methods such as comprehensive quality review, AI avatar survey, forensic investigation, and surveys. Results showed a long-standing, recurrent 'unhealthy state' of quality misconduct as a structural factor. Root causes identified as management's goal-setting, resource allocation, and governance gaps, with recommendations for fundamental reform of culture, organization, and systems.
Direction of reform and future initiatives
To transform the unhealthy state into the desired future, comprehensive measures will be implemented, including sharing the long-term vision at the executive level, strengthening the functions of the Global Quality Management (GQM) and CQO, cross-functional collaboration, expanded education and training, ensuring independence of risk management and internal audit, and quality integration during M&A. A chief responsible for overseeing the reform program will be appointed, resources reallocated, and policies established for early reporting of major quality risks and rapid corrective action.
