Statistics on the parts outageElectrical parts outage and historical backgroundWhen obtaining the electrical parts becomes difficult, we tend to think that it is due to the one-sided situation of the parts manufacturers, but it is not always the case. The designing change was necessary in some cases to comply with the RoHS directive, a part of the global environ-ment activities. Also, there were cases where obtaining the parts was difficult when the parts factory was damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake or when the factory in Thailand was flooded.113 casesNumber of electrical parts outage15,866 timesNumber of times of designing changes by parts outageNumber of times of designing changes by the parts outageNumber of times of designing changes15,86620032004200520062007200820092010201120122013709920,00016,00012,0008,0004,00000[Number of times of designing changes]4012062592566588010911310780Number of electrical parts outageYear[Number of electrical parts outage](2012)(2012)6,4374,4766,1771,3031,2122,4175,7054,7044,9926,034The greatest difficulty to keep production of the electronic devices is either by due to the interruption of electronic parts supply caused by accident or disaster, change in regulation or parts discontinued.We do not easily stop manufacturing products once released in the market, without trying to supply compatible products of equal or better performance to replace with, because we believe it is an important responsibility as the world’s leading manufacturer to continue serving people who maintain the performance of process control systems.Once released in the marketWe do not easily stop manufacturing products once released in the marketWe changed the manufacturer of the switching regulator parts to comply with the RoHS directive.Designing changes:285 timesObtaining the capacitor parts became difficult due to the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and we changed the manufacturer.Designing changes: 259 timesObtaining the capacitor parts became difficult due to the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and we changed the manufacturer.Designing changes: 6,214 timesThe transistor parts were discontinued by the flooding in Thailand, and we changed the manufacturer.Designing changes:281 timesProduction system which we do not easily stop manufacturing products without compatible replacementsProduction system which we do not easily stop manufacturing products without compatible replacements12
