7월 까지 출하가 예정되어 있는 분량에 대해서는 부품조달에 영향이 없으며, 예정대로 생산을 진행할 예정입니다.
또한 8월 이후의 출하분에 대해서는 부품공급업자의 부품공급에 지연이 발생할 경우에 대비하여, 지금까지와 같이 부품재고의 증량을 실시하는 것 외에도, 대체품으로 교체하거나 설계 변경 등의 방법으로 생산에 문제가 없도록 대응하겠습니다.
배송
당사 공장에서의 제품 출하는 예정대로 실시되고 있으며, 정밀가공장치는 정상 배송됩니다. Blade/Wheel 및 메인터넌스 부품에 대해서는 항공기 운항 감편과 화물량 증가의 영향으로 국내외 모두, 지역에 따라서 최대 1일 정도의 배송 지연이 발생할 가능성이 있습니다.
또한, 5월 25일(월)에 긴급사태선언 해제가 전국으로 확대되었으나, 당사는 기존에 안내해드린 바와 같이, 감염 방지책을 실시하면서 고객님께 계속해서 제품을 공급해나가겠습니다.
앞으로도 Web사이트 상에서 상황에 따른 대응을 업데이트하겠습니다.

또한, 4월 16일(목)에 정부에서 발표한 긴급사태선언 대상 지역이 당사 생산 거점인 히로시마현을 포함한 전국으로 확대되었습니다. 당사는 기존에 안내해드린 내용의 방침대로 감염 방지책을 실시하면서 고객님께 계속해서 제품을 공급해나가겠습니다.
앞으로도 Web사이트 상에서 상황에 따른 대응을 업데이트하겠습니다.
4월 13일(월), 경제산업성은 경제산업성이 소관하는 각 단체에게, 긴급사태선언의 대상이 되는 7개의 도・부・현의 사업자에 대한 재택근무 등으로의 사업 활동 추진에 관한 요청을 발표하였습니다. 또한, 제 10보에서 알려드린 바와 같이 4월 7일(화)에는 긴급사태선언 상황에서도 사업 계속이 요구되는 사업자로서 반도체 공장을 추가적으로 지정하였습니다.
이에 당사는 “사람과 사람 사이의 접촉이 없는 상태로 출근”이 가능하면서도 “출근이 필요한 사람”만이 컨디션 관리・감염 방지책을 엄격하게 실시한 상태로 출근하도록 하여, 고객님의 반도체 공장으로 당사 제품의 납입이 계속될 수 있도록 하겠습니다.
그리고 본사・R&D센터(도쿄) 및 오사카 지점을 포함한 전 사업소・지점에서 이하의 출근 조건을 정하여 실시해나가겠습니다.
출근조건
- 컨디션에 아무런 이상이 없다.
- 사원 본인과 동거하는 가족 모두, 당사가 독자적으로 정한 감염 리스크를 회피하기 위한 행동을 실시하고 있다.
- 업무 관계상, 출근이 필요하다.
- 대중교통을 이용하지 않고 출근이 가능하다.
또한, 제7판에서 알려드린 감염 방지책 외에도 공유 설비 및 장치, 도구류의 사용 전후 소독, 사원 간의 물품 대여 금지를 추가하였습니다. 이러한 방법으로 사내에서의 연쇄 감염 방지를 위해 노력하겠습니다.
제품의 생산・출하에 대해서
공장 소재지인 히로시마현 및 나가노현에서는 긴급사태선언이 발령되지는 않았지만, 상기 대응으로 정밀가공장치 및 Blade&Wheel의 생산을 계속하고 있습니다. 또한, 대중교통 외의 통근수단이 없는 사원을 위하여 자사의 소형버스를 운행하는 등 생산 체제를 유지하기 위해 노력하고 있습니다.
Blade&Wheel의 생산에 대해서
기존에 안내해드린 바와 같이 원재료는 통상 생산량의 6개월 이상의 비축량을 유지하고 있으며 생산 인원도 확보되어 있지만, 평소보다 많은 양의 발주 요청이 들어와 있는 상황입니다. 고객님의 재고 증량 등과 같은 예방적인 발주인 경우에는 사전에 담당 영업에게 상담하여 주시기 바랍니다.
앞으로도 계속적으로 Web사이트 상에서 상황에 따른 대응을 신속하게 업데이트 해드리겠습니다.
4월 7일(화) 일본정부는, 긴급사태선언 상황에서도 사업 지속이 요구되는 사업자로서 반도체 공장을 추가적으로 지정하였습니다.
당사는 고객님의 반도체 공장의 지속적인 가동을 유지하기 위한 제품을 제조하고 있는 입장에 있다는 사실을 인식하고 있습니다. 따라서, 앞으로도 반도체 생산을 위한 소모품인 Blade/Wheel 및 정밀가공장치 등을 가능한 한 계속해서 생산하고, 고객님의 반도체 공장에 대한 납입도 계속해 나가겠습니다.
또한, 당사 사업의 지속을 위해서 제7판에서 안내해드린 감염 방지책을 철저히 시행해 나가겠습니다.

4월 7일(화) 코로나바이러스감염증-19(COVID-19)의 감염 확대의 영향으로, 일본 정부에서 긴급사태선언이 선포되었습니다. 이에 따른 대응에 대해서 알려드립니다.
생산
공장소재지인 히로시마현, 나가노현에는 긴급사태선언이 선포되지 않았습니다. 따라서 히로시마 사업소(쿠레 공장・쿠와바타 공장) 및 나가노 사업소(치노 공장)은 3월 24일 제 7보에서 알려드린 감염방지책을 철저히 실시함으로써 정상 가동하고 있습니다. 또한, 대중교통을 이용한 통근은 금지하고 자가용차를 이용하도록 하는 등, 외부와의 접촉을 최소화한 수단으로 출퇴근을 하도록 하고 있습니다.
아울러, 이미 안내해드린 바와 같이 현재 Blade/Wheel의 생산에는 일절 영향이 없습니다. 정밀가공장치에 대해서도 5월 출하분까지는 예정대로 생산할 수 있음을 확인하였습니다.
출하・배송
국내・해외 출하 모두 수송 업자의 영업지속가능을 확인하였습니다. 정밀가공장치, Blade/Wheel, 메인터넌스 부품 모두 큰 지장 없이 정상 대응이 가능합니다.
원자재조달
Blade/Wheel
이미 안내해 드린 바와 같이, 통상 생산량의 6개월 이상의 비축량을 유지하고 있기 때문에 생산에 영향은 없습니다.
정밀가공장치
5월에 출하가 예정된 장치의 부품 조달에 일절 영향은 없습니다. 또한 부품공급업자로부터의 부품 공급이 정지되었을 경우에 대비하여, 부품의 재고량을 확보한 상태이며, 만에 하나, 지장이 발생하였을 경우에는, 대체품으로 교체하거나 설계 변경 등으로 생산에 문제가 없도록 대응하겠습니다.
앞으로도 계속적으로 Web사이트 상에서 상황에 따른 대응을 신속하게 업데이트 해드리겠습니다.
Telecommuting will be discontinued and operation will resume at the Wuhan office in China starting Tuesday, April 7.
Other Chinese offices have already resumed operations as stated in the 6th report.
Status updates will be provided on the DISCO website as the situation develops.
COVID-19의 감염 확산에 따른 안내입니다.
Blade/Wheel
2월 26일자 제5보에서 알려드린 바와 같이, 원재료에 대해서는 통상 생산량의 6개월 이상을 상시비축하고 있습니다. 따라서, 현재 생산출하에는 일절 영향이 없습니다.
정밀가공장치
2020년 4월 및 5월 출하가 예정된 장치는 모두 계획대로 생산및 출하에 전혀 연기등의 차질이 없는 것으로 확인되었습니다. 6월 이후에 대해서는COVID-19 감염이 세계적으로 확산되고 있기 때문에, 물류망을 포함하여 앞으로의 상황을 주시하면서 대응해 나가도록 하겠습니다.
직원에 대한 감염 방지 및 사내 감염 확산 방지책에 대해서
주요 생산 거점인 히로시마 사업소(쿠레 공장, 쿠와바타 공장)에서는 하기 대책을 실시하고 있습니다.
통근시
감염예방을 위하여, 평소 대중교통을 이용하여 출퇴근 하고 있는 직원들을 대상으로, 자가용차에 합승하여 출퇴근 하도록 장려하고 있고, 그 외에도 히로시마 사업소 및 쿠레 공장에서는 전용 전세통근버스를 이용하여 직원을 픽업하고 있습니다.
사내 감염 방지
두 공장에서는 사내에서의 연쇄적 감염을 방지하기 위해, 직원용출입구,·화장실,·회의실,·식당 등의 사내 설비와 복리후생시설에 대해서 “Blade/Wheel 제조부문”과 “기타부문”의 동선을 분리함과 동시에 이용 제한을 실시하고 있습니다.
또한, 히로시마 사업소를 포함하여 전사적으로 하기와 같은 대책을 실시하고 있습니다.
자택 출발 전
이전부터 실시하고 있던 매일 아침 체온 측정 후 사내 시스템에의 등록과 더불어, 이상 체온이 기록될 경우에는 핸드폰으로 문진표를 기입하여 보건사와 연락을 취할 수 있게 함으로써, 감염이 의심되는 직원을 조기에 발견할 수 있도록 하고 있습니다.
통근 시
대중교통 이용시에는 상시 마스크 착용을 의무화 하는 것 외에도 시차출퇴근제를 실시하여 감염 리스크를 감소시키기 위해 노력하고 있습니다.
사옥 진입 시
직원은 손 소독을 하고 마스크를 교체한 후 진입하고 있습니다. 고객 내방 시에는, 사내 감염 우려가 있는 분에 대해서는 진입을 금하고 있습니다. 담당자가 사전에 해외 도항 이력, 건강 상태에 대해서 확인하는 것 외에도 출입 시 체온 측정, 손 소독 및 새로운 마스크로 교체하도록 안내해드리고 있습니다.
근무 중, 점심 식사 시
근무 중에는 상시 마스크 착용을 의무화 하였고, 마스크를 착용하지 않은 상태로 이루어지는 직원 간 및 내방객과의 대화를 금지하고 있습니다.
관내 소독
화장실과 엘레베이터, 손잡이 등의 공용 부분을 정기적으로 소독하고 있습니다.
해외 도항
업무상 해외 도항을 금지하였고, 사적으로도 해외 도항을 자숙하도록 요청하였습니다. 도항한 경우에는 귀국 후 14일간 재택근무를 실시한 후, 증상이 없는 경우에 한해 출근이 가능합니다.
기타
직원 가족이 감염원이 되지 않도록, “가정 내에서의 감염증 예방행동 계획서”의 제출을 의무화하였습니다. BCM 전담부서가 바이러스의 리스크에 대한 교육 자료를 작성하여, 가족에게 쉽게 설명할 수 있도록 배려하였습니다.
감염자가 발생한 경우의 대응
감염자는 휴업하도록 하고 소속 부서 주변을 소독합니다. 또한 사내에서의 밀접 접촉이나 2차 감염 발생에 대해서는, 근무 중 상시 마스크 착용 등의 상기의 대책으로 억제가 가능하다고 보고 있지만, 그럼에도 불구하고 감염 가능성이 있는 직원에 대해서는 14일간 재택근무를 지시합니다.
그리고, 휴업 시에는 과거에 사용하지 않아 취득 기한이 지난 유급 휴가를 사용할 수 있게 하는 등, 근태 제도를 유연하게 변경하여 직원이 안심하고 쉴 수 있는 환경을 정비하고 있습니다.
고객 여러분께 공급에 대한 책임을 다하기 위해서 앞으로도 상황에 따라 바람직한 대책을 실시해 나가겠습니다.

This is a follow-up announcement regarding the production status of DISCO products in response to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
Precision Processing Tools
As stated in the fourth report on February 13, because DISCO keeps at least a six-month supply of raw materials in stock for standard production, production and shipment are currently unaffected. By continually replenishing the raw material stock, DISCO will maintain a system that enables production without a reduction in stock.
정밀가공장치
It has been confirmed that all equipment scheduled for shipment in March and April will be produced and shipped as planned.
After May, we will continue to monitor the situation as some component parts are produced by suppliers in China, depending on the specification. In addition, it was confirmed that there are no production delays at the relevant suppliers after resuming operation on Monday, February 10, and there are parts in stock either in China or Japan. If the situation persists and there is concern regarding parts supply, we will respond by switching to replacement parts, etc., to ensure undelayed production and shipment.
Status updates will be provided on the DISCO website as the situation develops.
In response to the spread of the novel coronavirus, this is an announcement regarding the production status of DISCO products.
Precision Processing Tool
Because DISCO keeps a 6-month supply of raw materials in stock as part of our BCM (business continuity management) measures, production and shipment are currently unaffected. We are also continuously replenishing this stock to ensure a constant supply to maintain our production and shipment schedule.
정밀가공장치
Equipment scheduled for shipment during February 2020 will be produced and shipped without any delay. During and after March, standard specification equipment can be produced and shipped as scheduled. However, because some suppliers of component parts base production in China, depending on the specification, there are some concerns regarding future supply. The aforementioned suppliers resumed operations on Monday, February 10, 2020, but it has been confirmed that the operation rate has fallen due to factors such as remote work. If the situation becomes prolonged, DISCO will proceed with measures such as switching to alternative suppliers with whom DISCO has built relationships and design changes to ensure stable production and shipment.
Status updates will be provided on the DISCO website as the situation develops.
This news release has been issued to notify you of the countermeasures and impact of the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Support system
For the purpose of business continuity and to ensure the safety of stakeholders and DISCO employees, all DISCO employees including group company employees are to refrain from going on business trips to China until the spread of the Novel Coronavirus infection comes to end.
As noted in the second report on February 7, employees at all affiliate offices in China will be working from home until the end of February. Please contact the relevant sales or service staff directly.
Production/Shipment
Production and shipment have not been affected as all DISCO products are produced in Japan. Both 정밀가공장치 and precision processing tools are being produced as scheduled.
배송
It is expected that the status of 배송 to China will return to normal starting Monday, February 10 (after the Chinese New Year).
Status updates will be provided on the DISCO website as the situation develops.
In response to the spread of the novel coronavirus, operation of affiliate offices in China through telecommuting, which began on February 3rd, will be extended to the end of February.
