Quality Improvement Consultant | Defect Reduction, Corrective Actions, Preventive Measures, FMEA
We will not settle for a temporary fix. Through top-quality improvement, we will eliminate the "root cause" of defects and systematize zero recurrence.
Kamikami Corporation is a technology consulting company specialized in "quality improvement" for the manufacturing industry. Many sites where defects do not decrease stop at temporary measures (interim countermeasures) and have not reached permanent solutions or systematization that address the root causes. Kamikami's quality improvement focuses on corrective actions for defects that have occurred (interim countermeasures → root cause analysis → permanent measures → establishment), along with upstream front-loading (strengthening design reviews and tolerance design) for prevention, design assurance through FMEA and FTA, quality building in waterproofing and heat dissipation design, and comprehensive improvements in compliance with regulations such as RoHS, REACH, and chemSHERPA. Furthermore, we do not merely attribute human errors to "individual carelessness"; we analyze up to the 4Ms plus psychological factors (Mind) and support the creation of an organizational culture that establishes improvements through team-building based on behavioral psychology. We start by visualizing your company's quality issues together through a free initial diagnosis and consultation.

Price information
The initial diagnosis and consultation are free of charge. After hearing about the current defects and corrective actions, we will provide a diagnostic report, and if ongoing quality improvement support is necessary, we will provide a customized estimate based on the content and man-hours required. Contracting is optional, and we do not engage in aggressive solicitation.

Applications/Examples of results
[Common Issues Regarding Quality Improvement Consultations (Assumed Scenarios)] - Corrective actions are limited to temporary measures (sorting, emergency responses), and the same defects recur without progressing to permanent solutions. - The cause of defects is dismissed as "operator negligence," and root cause analysis (4M) is not pursued. - FMEA and FTA have been formatted but do not function as improvement activities on the shop floor. - Design reviews (DR) are formal and result in quality issues after mass production. - Efforts to correct waterproofing and heat dissipation issues are prioritized, leaving no time for regulatory compliance (RoHS, REACH, chemSHERPA). - Near misses are not shared, and improvements are left to individuals, failing to become ingrained in the organization. We anticipate consultations from departments facing quality improvement challenges like those mentioned above. Due to confidentiality obligations, we do not disclose individual improvement achievements or customer cases, but we will provide guidance to the extent possible during consultations (subject to confirmation).
Detailed information

The support includes a wide range of activities from upstream design to mass production and quality management, such as mechanism design reviews, optimization of tolerance design, support for the introduction of FMEA and FTA, waterproofing and heat dissipation CAE diagnostics, compliance with chemical substance regulations, and reduction of human errors. We emphasize not just addressing issues after they arise, but also reviewing drawings, 3D CAD, processes, and operational rules to identify the causes of rework and defects early on. In addition, for defect management, we clearly distinguish between "temporary measures" that immediately contain leaks or damage and "permanent measures" that eliminate root causes to prevent recurrence. We do not stop at sorting or additional inspections; we also review design, procedures, equipment, information communication, and organizational culture, supporting the transition to permanent measures. Depending on the characteristics and challenges of our customers' products, we select the necessary scope and establish a system that can be sustained on-site, which is a hallmark of our upstream quality response.
Company information
We are a technical consulting partner that aims to rebuild "design quality" and "compliance" in the manufacturing industry from the upstream. Kamikami Corporation prioritizes three specialized areas: waterproofing, thermal and mechanical design, compliance with quality management standards, and green procurement and chemical substance regulation compliance. Additionally, we provide AI utilization support services for the manufacturing industry. Our representative, Takashi Suzuki, is a mechanical design expert who has worked on world-class ultra-thin smartphone waterproof designs at Fujitsu. He has supported over 100 manufacturing companies in improving design quality, mass production yield, regulatory compliance, and on-site AI implementation. The year 2026 saw significant changes in regulations and systems surrounding the manufacturing industry, including the addition of chemical substance regulations (with the number of SVHC candidate substances increasing to 253 as of February 2026) and the revision of AI-related guidelines (AI business operator guidelines version 1.2 in March 2026). Our company continuously keeps up with these developments and provides support based on the latest information to ensure that our clients do not experience "unintentional compliance gaps." "Our stance is to fundamentally improve design quality and mass production yield." We invite you to start with a free consultation (60 minutes) and feel free to reach out to us. Updated June 2026.
