Quality is not something that is built in through inspection, but is assured at all stages of design, procurement, and manufacturing.
At Fusion Technologies, we do not consider Quality Assurance to be merely an inspection activity.
Quality is achieved by correctly understanding the requirements, reflecting them in the design, selecting appropriate partner companies, and consistently managing everything from manufacturing and inspection to installation.
Based on the quality assurance concepts cultivated through international fusion projects such as ITER, we aim to reliably achieve the quality our customers demand, regardless of scale.
Features of Fusion Technologies' Quality Assurance
1. Building quality in from the upstream process
Many quality problems arise not in the manufacturing stage, but from a lack of understanding of requirements or decisions made during the design stage.
At Fusion Technologies,
- Clarification of requirements
- Definition of applicable standards and criteria
- Design review
- Confirmation of manufacturability and maintainability
we build quality in from the upstream process through these activities.
2. Quality assurance through shared responsibility with partner companies
We do not assume that we manufacture everything ourselves.
We collaborate with partner companies that possess high technical capabilities both domestically and internationally, maximising their respective expertise.
On the other hand, Fusion Technologies bears the ultimate responsibility for quality.
Therefore,
- Selection of partner companies
- Clarification of requirements
- Confirmation of manufacturing and inspection processes
- Ensuring traceability of records
we achieve quality assurance through shared responsibility via these measures.
3. Quality culture cultivated through large-scale projects
In international collaborative projects such as ITER, not only technical correctness but also
- document management
- traceability
- change management
- independent review
- accountability for compliance with standards
are required.
Fusion Technologies applies the quality culture cultivated in such large-scale projects within small, agile organisations.
4. Pursue reasonable quality, avoiding excessive quality
Quality assurance is important, but it is not an end in itself.
Pursuing quality beyond requirements can lead to increased costs and schedules.
At Fusion Technologies,
We emphasise "achieving the required quality, in the appropriate way, reasonably."
is what we focus on.
Our concept of Quality Assurance
Quality is not inspected into a product; it is engineered into every stage of its lifecycle.
Quality should not be imparted by inspection, but should be incorporated into all stages from conception, design, procurement, manufacturing, inspection, installation, and maintenance.
Fusion Technologies balances technological capabilities with quality assurance to contribute to the social implementation of fusion technology.
