Advantages/Superiority of WSE Production from the Japanese Perspective – Part 2

For Nihon SUN-S, WSE production is not merely one of its overseas manufacturing bases. It holds an extremely strategic position in supporting the company’s global strategy, cost competitiveness, and stable supply system.
Its advantages are diverse, but can be broadly summarized in the following key points:

3. Responding to Global Markets and Diversifying the Supply Chain

The Vietnam factory serves not only the domestic Japanese market but also functions as a supply base for the expanding Asian and global markets.
The ASEAN region is experiencing remarkable economic growth, with increasing demand not only for textiles and apparel but also for industrial products.
By establishing a production base in Vietnam, Nihon Sun-S can supply the ASEAN market more quickly, reducing both logistics costs and lead times.
Moreover, diversifying production bases offers significant benefits in terms of supply chain diversification.
It allows for broader sourcing options for raw materials and helps mitigate risks such as import restrictions or tariff fluctuations from specific regions.
This enables the company to build a more resilient and flexible supply chain, capable of adapting to unexpected changes in the external environment.

4. Human Resource Development and Cultural Integration

Production activities at the Vietnam factory contribute not only to manufacturing but also to the development of local human resources.
By educating local employees on Japanese quality control, production technologies, and corporate culture, the company promotes skill enhancement and builds a long-term talent foundation.
This supports the goal of autonomous factory operations locally, leading to further efficiency and increased production capacity.
Additionally, when local employees share Nihon SUN-S’s corporate philosophy and approach to quality, it fosters a unified global corporate culture.
This sense of unity is a vital element for the company’s sustainable growth.

5. Conclusion

For Nihon SUN-S, WSE production is a key partner in achieving a wide range of strategic goals, including cost competitiveness, high quality, stable supply, and global expansion.
Rather than simply being a source of “cheap labor,” it is positioned as a “strategic production base” capable of efficiently producing high-quality products under direct company management.
Through collaboration with domestic factories, the company has established a multifaceted risk management and flexible production system, maintaining competitiveness in a rapidly changing market environment.
This continues to be a crucial pillar in securing its position as a global enterprise.
