Murata's electronic components are at work in various electronic equipment — mobile phones, personal computers, home appliances, automobiles and industrial robots. Without these components, which range in size from a few tenths of a millimeter to several millimeters, the electronic equipment functions, safety and environmental performance called for by hundreds of millions of people around the world could not be realized.
To ensure peace of mind for users of various electronic equipment worldwide, we maintain reliable quality for and strive to reduce the environmental burden of all our products.
Small products, but a big sense of responsibility — Murata has every intention of continuing to fulfill this responsibility in the future.
Inspection process line
Murata's leading share of the chip monolithic capacitor market stands at 35%, with a production output of several billion parts per month. Many perform vital roles in such electronic equipment as personal computers and mobile phones. These include components of a fraction of a millimeter — smaller than a grain of sand. One flat-screen television includes more than 1,000 such components, and compact modern mobile phones in excess of 200, each fulfilling a role, such as suppression of malfunctions, poor reception or radiation noise.
A malfunction by one of Murata's chip monolithic capacitors means problems for the manufacturers of the electronic equipment, who form our customer base, for electronic equipment users, and ultimately for a vast number of people worldwide.
Accordingly, Murata has formulated processes with built-in quality and reliability through all stages of the production process, spanning development, design and manufacturing. In addition to thoroughness, such built-in processes ensure inspection of all manufactured products. Detected faulty components are analyzed, the causes identified and countermeasures systematically implemented.
As the top manufacturer of chip monolithic capacitors, we are ever aware of our product responsibility, that is, the huge social responsibilities we have for these miniscule components, and endeavor on a daily basis to raise the level of our activities.
