Efficiency and Productivity Improvement
The Nissha Group has identified Efficiency and Productivity Improvement as a materiality. By enhancing these through the use of digital technologies, we can not only strengthen our own competitiveness, but provide value to our customers and contribute to solving social issues.
We are reforming not just production but all internal processes through going digital. To move ahead with these changes and reforms, we consider human resources to be the most important asset, so are focusing efforts on employee training.

Initiatives
The Group is actively working on improving work efficiency and productivity through our project to promote DX (DX Projects), and has seen impressive results. Our main initiatives are as follows.
- Improving production planning through the use of digital twins
- Promoting data-driven management in the gas sensor business
- Developing a data infrastructure that supports business decisions
As a method of productivity improvement in desk work arenas, we have continued to expand the automation and streamlining of tasks using RPA (Robotic Process Automation) and other tools. Since its full scale implementation in 2019 to the end of 2025, more than 800 business processes have been automatized and streamlined.
In addition, major strides were made in the use of generative AI in FY2025. The use of Microsoft Copilot services has expanded across the Group, driving operational efficiency through the sharing of best practices and use cases. Furthermore, the development of role-specific AI agents is advancing, supporting the broader integration of AI into business operations.
In FY2026, building on our results in DX training and infrastructure development, the Group will further improve white-collar productivity and put DX into practice with the key words of From Theory to Practice. We are mainly working on the following initiatives.
- Hands-on support for ensuring the practical implementation and success of DX personnel
- Operational transformation aimed at improving white-collar productivity
- Streamlined information searches and inquiry responses through the use of AI agents
