First Sumiden Circuits Inc’s Quality Improvement Teams (QITs) continue to gain recognition in regional, national and international quality circles competitions.  These problem-solving teams brainstorm on an assigned project, form solutions and monitor improvements using Six Sigma’s Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) Approach. 

FSCI’s Foreign Materials Reducer Team won the Vox Populi Award & AQ&PC Choice Award in the ASEMEP Quality and Productivity Council (AQ& PC)  5th Benchmarking Convention in 2008 for their project “Reduction of Foreign Material Defects on FPC Product A.”

Another team, FSCI’s Wrinkle Shrinker Team won the Gold Award in the Quality Circle Practitioners’ Association’s (QCPA) 28th Annual Quality Circles Regional Convention for their project “Reduction of Wrinkle Defect.”   The same project won the Excellence Award during the 2009 Sumitomo Group’s Quality Circle Competition in the-Electronics Business Unit.
