Nissan
Casting Australia
Nissan is Australia's most popular full-line
Japanese importer with a history dating back to 1934 when Datsun
Phaetons were sold locally. Nissan is renowned for excellent engineering
and searing handling and dynamics technology. Australian Die Casters
must be around 30% more competitive than overseas domestic suppliers
to gain export contracts and offset export costs such as freight,
distribution and "pipeline" inventory. Total Productive
Manufacturing ( TPM ) or Total Productive Maintenance as it is more
commonly known is one of the strategies Nissan Casting Australia
(NCAP) is using to meet this challenge.
