Track Record

A major Japanese electronics manufacturer uses a project team system to carrying testing work for the software environments that come with the computers that they make. When the client transferred the management of this work to their Chinese base, we provided a wide range of services, including setting up and operating the offshore center, as well as training staff. These services are operated using a team-based organization structure whereby the number of people required can be adjusted flexibly according to the number of models being supported.

Thanks to the work efficiency solutions that we have proposed, the quality of the entire work process has improved, and the client has been able to achieve a high level of work quality, while still meeting strict delivery deadlines. As a result, the client has succeeded in consolidating the testing work for all of its global models in China, and the position of the offshore center has been established. During peak times, these tasks can be supported with teams of as many as one hundred people, and by outsourcing these volume tasks to us, the client has been able to reduce its management costs while also allowing its own employees to focus on upstream tasks.

When a major Japanese automobile manufacturer transferred the management of some of the development tasks for the embedded software in its electronic control units (ECU), our engineers formed a permanent team to work on development assistance.

After a short period of creating a team and conducting work training, work started on the premises of the client’s research and development center. Self reviews and leader reviews were conducted at every stage of the development process, together with dynamic and static inspections. When problems occurred, thorough efforts were made to find the cause of the problem and to prevent it from occurring again. This enabled the cost advantages of outsourcing the work to China to be achieved without sacrificing quality. The shortage of engineers had been a constant bottleneck, but by outsourcing the work to us, this bottleneck was eliminated, which helped to accelerate the transfer of work to China.

A major Japanese material handling manufacturer implemented the overall design and detailed design for the design and construction work for a system for transporting car bodies on a project basis. A project leader was placed within the company to support multiple projects simultaneously in partnership with the client’s director in charge of the project.

There are extreme fluctuations in the workload for project design, and if the client retains design technicians based on the number required for peak times then this will lead to higher fixed costs. However, by providing resources at the appropriate timing for each project we can help lower total costs by making these costs variable. Our Japanese expertise and knowledge of Chinese regulatory systems allowed us to smoothly address differences between China and Japan in terms of design and drafting methods.
