DyDo Group Holdings

DyDo DRINCO is a fabless company that works with other companies to manufacture and distribute vending machines and products. The company performs thorough quality checks in-house, as well as rigorous quality checks at subcontractors' plants.
At DyDo DRINCO, we will continue to maintain a dependable quality assurance and management system to deliver products and services to our customers that offer safety and reliability.

As a fabless company, DyDo DRINCO subcontracts mass production to external plants, while product concepts, recipes, and other planning and development tasks are conducted in-house. To ensure the products that reach our customers are safe and reliable in addition to being tasty, we prioritize maintaining a dependable quality assurance and management framework. Starting at the phase of product planning, we apply attention to checking the ingredient and quality specification sheets provided by suppliers for each ingredient that will be used in a product. In addition to confirming that legal requirements are met for all ingredients and furthermore we review safety-related information such as residual agricultural chemicals or allergens.

We establish strict standards for ingredients at the product planning stage and then procure those ingredients only from suppliers that clear those standards. For major imported ingredients our managers visit and check in person on growing conditions of agricultural products at farms, and manufacturing processes, hygiene management, and other aspects at processing plants. We also work to assure safety and improve the quality of ingredients by communicating the results of our visits directly to our business partners.

DyDo DRINCO has established a system of double checks as a fabless company that subcontracts manufacturing to affiliate plants. We work with affiliate plants on ensuring a rigorous management and inspection system to constantly maintain safe and reliable manufacturing and distribution.
Safety and reliability are not achievable by individuals working alone. It is achieved by using an organization-wide system that emphasizes keeping safety in mind at all times and involves daily quality control efforts based on the methodologies of 5S (seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shukan [sort, organize, clean, maintain, and discipline ]) and 5W1H (who, what, where, when, why, how).

We always try to see things from the customer's perspective and supply products that we would recommend to our own families with confidence. Prior to a product's release we thoroughly investigate any areas of risk with regard to product labeling or ingredients to guarantee the product's safety.
We also check that no operational problems are encountered with a product at the manufacturing plant, and do not rely solely upon the plant's assessment. Before shipping, we always conduct a visual examination of the product and labeling, check the product's characteristics and physical properties, and perform a sensory evaluation to ensure there are no problems.
We aim to assure the safety of products and further improve quality from the customer's perspective so that DyDo products are liked by one and all.

DyDo DRINCO conducts annual quality assurance audits at the affiliated plants to which it outsources production. We ask plants to self-assess a quality assurance audit check sheet that features more than 150 items covering eight categories, and also send our own inspectors to conduct on-site assessment verifications. Feeding back the results of these audits, we consider solutions to issues together with affiliated plants, and in so doing seek to raise safety and quality in the production process, as well as cultivate relationships of trust.

To ensure that DAIDO Pharmaceutical supplies safe and reliable products, we have a quality policy in place and are certified under the ISO 9001 international standard for quality management systems and FSSC 22000 international certification scheme for food safety systems. We promise to assure product quality by continuing to maintain a rigorous attitude toward everything related to quality and by ensuring even higher levels of efficacy and safety.

Among general utilities for supporting the manufacturing process, I am in charge of maintenance and management of water equipment. Awareness of water has changed in recent years, including from the perspective of food safety, and we are working hard in maintenance and management to further improve the quality of water-related equipment. For example, we periodically review and update the check items in the inspection chart used for quality inspection of processes involving water for manufacturing to ensure they are optimal. Going forward, we will continue to keep in mind that "good water is good for people," and work to provide products with higher safety that can contribute to the health and happiness of our customers.
