The mission of our production sections is the assurance of product quality, a stable supply and reductions to production costs. To that end, each plant has strived to achieve higher levels of good manufacturing practice (GMP) and build a quality assurance system that meets global standards. Kyorin has also upgraded its production technologies and equipment. Moreover, all plants have obtained ISO14001 (Environmental Management Systems) and OHSAS18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems) certifications as Kyorin works to develop “plants which are friendly to both workers and the environment.”
- GMP:Good Manufacturing Practice
The building of an advanced quality control system is essential in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. However, that system will not function unless the awareness of the workers concerned is maintained at high levels. A sense of pride as a manufacturer rests within each and every employee: everyone maintains dependable, reliable quality and achieves a steady supply of products And, in accordance with our corporate motto "Let's protect this beautiful earth of ours through the way we act", we are committed to developing environmentally-friendly plants.
The Noshiro Plant went online in April 2006. With the adoption of Japan’s leading cutting-edge equipment throughout, the plant has achieved improved production efficiency and reliability as well as significant labor savings.
Ensuring the stable supply of high-quality products requires appropriate demand-based production plans. In the same context, the management of raw materials and other materials as well as the allocation of personnel are also important tasks handled by Production & Manufacturing Management. We play a coordinating role with plants to ensure that the pharmaceuticals sent out to the world after many years of research and delivered to the places where they are needed and to the people who need them in a reliable fashion. We also carry out purchase planning and delivery management regarding products whose production is consigned to other companies.
Based on advanced manufacturing management and quality control systems that have been accumulated since the company’s founding, today Kyorin works to achieve a stable supply of products through a two-plant system comprising the Noshiro and Okaya plants. The expertise of KYORIN Pharmaceutical is also properly communicated to consignment manufacturers to maintain levels of quality comparable to its own plants. Employees engaged in production and manufacturing management take detailed care of communication between manufacturing, sales and external networks, and do their utmost to ensure that products are sent out smoothly and are safely used in medical practice.
