Kurosaki Harima Co., Ltd. - Successful Case Study of Manufacturing Reform

In 1919, Kurozaki Harima Co., Ltd. was established in Yahata, Kitakyushu. With the founding motto of "better, faster, cheaper," the company has played a crucial role in supporting the domestic and international steel industry and core industries through the manufacturing and sales of refractory materials. The temperature of molten iron ranges from 1600 to 1800 degrees Celsius, making refractory materials essential for blast furnaces that can withstand high temperatures. The production of refractory materials with excellent quality and precision requires advanced technology and experience. Recently, the company has continued to challenge various possibilities of new materials, including fine ceramics based on the material technology cultivated through refractory materials and the development of comfortable and beautiful living spaces. The company has a long-standing tradition of improvement activities. To elevate practical capabilities in manufacturing sites towards a new stage of on-site improvement, they have initiated the KMS-2 activity. This time, we covered that site.
