Zero-Defect Quality Award to Infineon
from Toyota Hirose Plant
Infineon Technologies AG has announced that Toyota Motor
Corporation's Hirose Plant has awarded Infineon its "Excellent
Quality Award" for delivering outstanding product quality
during 2011. This is the sixth time that Infineon has received
a Toyota Zero-Defect quality award. The Hirose Plant develops
and manufactures state-of-the-art electronic components
for Toyota vehicles, and these awards recognize the quality
of the CAN transceivers that Infineon has supplied for many
years together with its ongoing commitment to delivering
zero-defect quality.
This is the fourth time that Infineon has received the
"Excellent Quality Award", awarded to suppliers
who have delivered zero-defect quality in one year. In addition,
Infineon received the 2009 "Best Quality Award"
awarded to suppliers who have achieved zero defects for
three years running and the 2010 "Honor Quality Award"
awarded to suppliers who have achieved zero defects for
four years running or longer.
"To receive the 'Excellent Quality Award' from Toyota
Motor Corporation's Hirose Plant is a great honor for Infineon,
and strengthens our confidence in our commitment to delivering
zero-defect quality," said Yasuaki Mori, president
of Infineon Technologies Japan. "Our semiconductors
play a key role in the electronization of vehicles and,
as the leading supplier in the electric car market which
is set to grow still further in the future, we will continue
to strive to meet the exacting quality standards expected
of us."
Toyota's Hirose Plant awards five categories of Quality
Awards to its suppliers each year: the "Honor Quality
Award" (awarded to suppliers who have achieved zero
defects for four years running or longer), the "Best
Quality Award" (zero defects for three years running),
the "Excellent Quality Award" (zero defects for
one year), the "Superior Quality Award" (for one
defect within the year) and the "Certificate of Appreciation"
(for two defects within the year).
