The History of Quality-Hozen

1984: Fujikoshi wins TPM Award; a particular highlight is its development of QM


1986: JIPM publishes Fujikoshi no TPM (‘TPM at Fujikoshi’)
1991: Nissan Motor Corp.’s Tochigi Plant wins Special TPM Award
1993: TPM Instructor Course manual is revised
1993: JIPM publishes Nissan Jidosha no TPM (‘TPM at Nissan Motor Corp.’)
1997: JIPM publishes Hinshitsu Hozen Hachi no Ji Tenkaiho (’The Figure-of-Eight Method for
Quality-Hozen ’)
2003: TPM Instructor Course manual is again revised and updated
2003: JIPM publishes Ryohin 100% no Hinshitsu Hozen (‘Quality-Hozen for Perfect Product’)
The award of the TPM Prize to Fujikoshi and the publication of ‘TPM at Fujikoshi’ were the events that
triggered the development of Quality-Hozen . The methodology has become firmly established and is
continually being enhanced through the efforts of the JIPM to inform industry about it, and the research
and practical application carried out by individual companies.
