    For shops manufacturing high-quality nuclear components, manufacturing management and work record are essential to secure and assure product quality. In view of the recent circumstances in which the quality control requirements for nuclear components are becoming stricter, manufacturing shops are promoting a fine-tuned manufacturing management system by which high-mix, low-volume products used to enhance the functions of nuclear power plants can be manufactured according to the legal or standards. This report introduces a manufacturing management system that enables more accurate management of work instructions for various products and records of work history through digitalization using IT applications such as mobile terminals and electronic forms. Examples of quality record management in which human-involved work such as handwriting of quality records is minimized are also presented.
