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.\n\n### Direction of reform and future initiatives\nTo 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.","jir_financial_highlights":"Total number of improper cases: 844 \u4ef6 (\u4e0d\u660e)\nMajor quality cases: 60 \u4ef6 (\u4e0d\u660e)\nGeneral quality cases: 784 \u4ef6 (\u4e0d\u660e)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#OurQuality, #OrganizationalReform, #QualityGovernance, #RiskManagement","jir_key_figures":"844 \u4ef6: total suspected quality misconduct cases\n60 \u4ef6: major quality cases\n784 \u4ef6: general quality cases","jir_meta_title":"Nidec: Quality Misconduct Investigation and Recovery Plan | September 2026","jir_meta_description":"Nidec announces details of the quality misconduct investigation and the recovery plan by the Investigation Committee.
