What can say about the quality of the producing country? "Nissan" - what is it?

According to the Committee of Automobile Manufacturers AEB (the Association of European Businesses), in 2013, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd topped the list of companies whose cars are sold on the territory of our country best. Let's talk about the sales leader, the company, and most importantly, what can say about the quality of the producing country?

"Nissan", made in Russia, the United Kingdom, Mexico, South Africa ... What is it? By the way, this is far from being the whole list of states where the assembly workshops of the enterprise are currently located. A total of about 20 countries sheltered in their territories engineering workshops, design and research centers, production. Although we, ordinary inhabitants, this manufacturer is associated exclusively with the country of the "rising sun" - Japan. Despite the fact that many know for certain that the organization is working far beyond the small island state. All clearly understand that the "roots" (more precisely, the mentality of employees) are still Japanese.

Japan - "the beginning of the sun"

This country (the manufacturer of Nissan) is associated only with consumers with high quality products. There is no difference whatsoever we are talking about: knives, china, household appliances or cars. Japanese mentality is not only sentimentality and worship of traditions, it is primarily honor and decency, friendliness and fanatical desire for novelty. And this is not all the distinctive features of the average resident of the country of the rising sun. In them at the genetic level, hard work and a desire for development are laid. Is not this the engine of progress? Maybe that is why the country is developing so rapidly?

Manufacturer of Nissan

This is a huge team of about 224,000 employees working all over the world. The scope of the company includes such areas as shipbuilding and missile (in particular, the engineers of the company develop engines). Work is in the field of telecommunications and finance. Machines for textile production are being developed.

Flagship programs

In 1999, the merger of two of the most powerful concerns: Renault and Nissan. This event positively influenced the economic growth of the company as a whole, allowing to lead the ratings not for one year. Moreover, the success was provided and thanks to the competent, and most importantly, timely-entered programs. In particular, thanks to the Nissan Revival Plan, the corporation was withdrawn from the crisis.

NPW

The Nissan Production Way (NPW) program is the basis of all productions. The code of rules is mandatory for employees all over the world. The prescribed set of instructions and recommendations allows you to perfect the process of creating any of the car companies. Thanks to NPW, Nissan connects the capabilities of materials, equipment and people, creating for consumers what they would like to pay for.

Competent use of the program allows you to provide and study the needs of customers. Moreover, such a symbiosis and effective use of financial resources provide opportunities to expand production. It is the program Nissan Production Way, so successfully implemented, allows you to talk about the quality of the products equally well, regardless of what is indicated by the country-manufacturer of Nissan in the documents of the vehicle. You can be one hundred percent sure that the car will be perfectly assembled both at the plant in Mexico or Russia, and on the assembly line in Japan.
