Welcome
    Technologies  
 
      Research & Development Technology
    We boast of an advanced distributed R&D system that integrates various Kenwood R&D
    centers effectively for both concurrent and distributed engineering applications. Hence,
    specialized knowledge from specialists of different countries can be tapped to collaborate
    on product developments concurrently and thus shorten time-to-market introduction.
     
    With our advanced R&D cad/cam and development equipment, our products can be  
    optimally designed in the shortest time possible with powerful features, high quality and  
    reliability, and less costs.  
       
    Business Partners Development Enabling Technology  
    We recognize the immense benefits of collaborating and partnering with our suppliers
    (here we called Business Partners) by riding on synergies and eliminating waste in the
    supply chain activities, and thus, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in the chain.
     
    We have ambitious programs, assisted and powered by our customized web technologies,
    to deliver knowledge, develop partners’ capabilities, evaluate and review partners’    
      performances, and simulate expected performances on a real-time environment. This    
      enabling technology not only reduces economic transaction costs, improves    
      communication and enhances trust relationships but also hastens improvements on a    
      demand basis.    
           
      Manufacturing Technology
      From input to output, we are constantly transforming our manufacturing processes to meet
      the abrupt challenges in today’s world of constant and rapid changes.
       
      We continually innovate to discover and improvise new methods, systems and technologies
      that, along with our deployment of ‘Smart’ and advanced technology production equipment,
      will enable us to manufacture products precisely to specifications and leave no  
      opportunities for uncertainties along our quality processes while allowing maximum
      flexibility to satisfy customer needs and expectations.
       
      The uniqueness of our production system is that we are so flexible in our production
      methods that any complex products of whatever quantity (from 1 set) can be produced
      as efficiently with the same quality and competitive cost levels as we would for mass
      production in a high-mix high-volume production environment.
         
      Our manufacturing operations are highly integrated across manufacturing centers and
      provide digitally-enabled real-time performance tracking to facilitate rapid response for
      performance enhancements. We have the right technology in place that enhances our
     

speed for response, planning and actions. 

       
      We take pride in our manufacturing technologies and are motivated to lead the world in
      manufacturing excellence.
       
      Lean 6 Sigma and New Process Technology  
      We build a culture that requires all employees to continually eliminate wastes in their work
      processes. We advocate “Simple is Better” and apply work simplification in redesigning
      workflow as part of our Lean methodology to increase output and quality with reduced
      resources. We are deploying a modified version of combining Lean concept with 6 Sigma
      tools – Lean 6 Sigma – for our enterprise wide innovation endeavors with controlled
      performance variations.  
         
      Quality Technology  
      Our unique Product Tracking technology digitally captures the performances of each and
      every of our products along manufacturing processes for scientific and statistic evaluations
      and inferences for performance assurance and enhancements.
       
      We leverage on our State of Art laboratory test and measuring equipment for our products
      performance evaluations under normal and extreme operating conditions, including Heat
      Shock, IP5 and IP6 Rain Test, Dust Test, Thunder Test, and Vibration Test. The objective
      for such elaborated tests is to ensure our products consistently meet world class
     

standards and satisfy customers’ expectations.

   
           
      Our Quality Management system is certified to ISO 9001 and that implies that customers    
      can be assured of sound quality management system that is benchmarked to world class    
      standards.    
           
      Learning Technology    
      Company competencies are an accumulation of each and every employee’s competencies
    and hence, it is our top priority to continually develop our workforce competencies to
    enhance company competencies as a whole.  Besides, we adopt learning as the most
    important facilitator for successful innovation endeavors.
       
      We invest in both hardware and software and, as well as, content development with the
    objective to deliver learning contents that are current, relevant and competitive. Through
    our efforts to create the best possible learning experience and meet our ultimate objective  
    in ensuring our skills continued to be relevant and competitive, all of our learning contents
      are centralized, distributable and real-time available.
       
      We combine different styles of learning (eLearning, Mentored Learning, Programmed
      Learning and On the Job Training) for effective and efficient knowledge transfer and thus,
      shorten training curve. Contents are made more stimulating for learning through the use of
      both video and audio assisted technologies, and as well as advanced content creation
      application software. Our powerful web technologies are responsible for the efficient    
      delivery of these “diversified-across businesses” contents and knowledge to anyone at    
      anytime and at anyplace. The result is a workforce that can rapidly adjust and adapt to    
     

changes more proficiently in the least time possible.
