Social performance

MIPF2520D Series

The FDK Group has made eﬀorts to shift from the conventional
one-way delivery system to a route delivery system to deliver orpick up products and materials from business partners to FDK,
and then from FDK to customers by making the rounds of multiple sites. This can reduce lead-time of delivering products tocustomers and the volume of work-in-process items. In addition,
the total distance of travel can be reduced and hence the volumeof CO2 emission canbe minimized as well.
In FY2005, the routedelivery systemstarted in all of major
FDK sites nationwide
so that the system
can cover all andevery route to andfrom FDK and business partners/
customers in Japan.
