According to the Association of European Businesses (AEB), in 2013 Nissan Motor Co. Ltd topped the list of companies whose cars are best sold in our country. Let's talk about the sales leader, the company, and most importantly, what can the manufacturing country say about the quality?

"Nissan" made in Russia, the United Kingdom, Mexico, South Africa … What is it? By the way, this is not the whole list of countries where the company's assembly shops are currently located. In total, about 20 countries have sheltered engineering workshops, design and research centers, and production facilities on their territories. Although we, ordinary people, this manufacturer is associated exclusively with the country of the "rising sun" - Japan. Despite the fact that many people know for sure that the organization is working far beyond the borders of a small island state. Everyone clearly understands that the "roots" (more precisely, the mentality of employees) are still Japanese.

Japan -"beginning of the sun"

This country (manufacturer Nissan) is associated by consumers exclusively with high quality products. It makes no difference what it is about: knives, china, household appliances or cars. The Japanese mentality is not only sentimentality and worship of traditions, it is first of all honor and decency, friendliness and a fanatical desire for novelty. And this is not all the distinguishing features of the average inhabitant of the land of the rising sun. At the gene level, they have industriousness and a desire for development. Isn't this the same engine of progress? Maybe that's why the country is developing so rapidly?

Manufacturer Nissan

This is a huge team of around 224,000 people working around the world. The scope of the company's activities includes such areas as shipbuilding and rocketry (in particular, the company's engineers develop engines). Work is underway in the field of telecommunications and finance. Machine tools for textile production are being developed.

Flagship programs

In 1999, two powerful concerns merged: Renault and Nissan. This event had a positive impact on the economic growth of the enterprise as a whole, allowing it to lead the ratings for more than one year. Moreover, success was ensured thanks to competently, and most importantly, timely introduced programs. In particular, thanks to the Nissan Revival Plan, the corporation was brought out of the crisis.

NPW

The Nissan Production Way (NPW) program isbasis of all industries. The Code of Practice is binding on employees worldwide. A prescribed set of instructions and recommendations allows you to perfect the process of creating any of the concern's cars. With NPW, Nissan connects the power of materials, equipment and people, creating what consumers want to pay for.

Proper use of the program allows you to provide and study the needs of customers. Moreover, such symbiosis and efficient use of financial resources provide opportunities to expand production. It is the Nissan Production Way program, which has been so successfully implemented, that makes it possible to speak about the quality of products equally well, regardless of which country the manufacturer of Nissan is indicated in the vehicle documents. You can be one hundred percent sure that the car will be perfectly assembled both at a factory in Mexico or Russia, and on an assembly line in Japan.

Structure

Nissan Motor Co. Headquarters Ltd is located in Yokohama (Japan) and its design department is in London (England). The research center in Cranfield (England) leads the development and implementation of the new generation of Nissan vehicles. It is in England that one of the largest assembly shops of the corporation is located. The port city of Sunderland is not convenient for cheap labor, by no means. It is from here that it is convenient to supply finished products to customers located in Europe, North America.

VIN code

It is easy to recognize the place of assembly by the first character of the VIN-code of the car. A single letter will tell us what kind of country ismanufacturer. Nissan Qashqai, Micra, Note are assembled in the United Kingdom. In vehicle identification documents, this is indicated by the first letter of the code - S.

"Nissan-Navara" (Navara) and "Padfinder" (Pathfinder) are assembled in Spain, and the symbol V indicates this in the documents.

Country of origin of Nissan X-Trail (X-Trail), Teana (Teana), Murano (Murano), Patrol (Patrol) - Japan, these models have in VIN- code the first character is J.

A line for the assembly of "Tean", "X-Trails" and "Muran" was opened at the St. Petersburg plant. And AvtoVAZ began assembling Almer.
