Stabilization of the Mobility in Free Traffic

Objectives: Drunk driving is too dangerous and is continuing to harm many thousands of innocent lives. The main focus of this paper is to ensure safety and alertness of the drivers and people in the cars nearby the drunk driver by alerting them beforehand so as to avoid catastrophe. Methods/Statistical Analysis: An Infrared Sensor with an Electronic Nose i.e. smell sensor will be made use in either of the headlights of the car which will detect even the slightest smell of alcohol and send alerts to all the nearby cars within the range of 10 meters with the car number through app using Android Studio so that the nearby car drivers can be alert and make their own decisions to drive in the same path or change the route. Findings/Application Improvements: Keeping in mind that Nissan Motor Company has already implemented the technology which involves warning the fellow road user to stop the car and prevent the car to start if he/she is drunk, our intention is to overcome the drawback of this concept i.e. although the system will issue warnings to the drunk driver but it is his/her wish to drive or not and a person who in that state is understood to be not in full consciousness which means they can do anything. This paper is intended to ensure the safety of other cars which are being driven nearby or opposite to the drunk driver by sending those alerts .This system will make use of hardware equipment as well as software program.

Nissan SOFC powered vehicle system runs on bioethanol

Japanese automaker Nissan Motor Company is developing a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) powered system that runs on bioethanol reformed onboard the vehicle. The new system – which Nissan says is a world first for automotive use – features an e-Bio Fuel Cell with an SOFC power generator.

The Continued Practice of ‘Ethos’: How Nissan Enables Organizational Knowledge Creation

This article examines knowledge creation in relation to improvements on the production line in the manufacturing department of Nissan Motor Company and aims to clarify embodied knowledge observed in the actions of organisational members who enable knowledge creation will be clarified. For that purpose, this study adopts an approach that adds a first, second, and third-person's viewpoint to the theory of knowledge creation (Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995). Embodied knowledge, observed in the actions of organisational members who enable knowledge creation, is the continued practice of ‘ethos’ (in Greek) founded in Nissan Production Way as an ethical basis. Ethos is knowledge (intangible) assets for knowledge creating companies. Substantiated analysis classifies ethos into three categories: the individual, team and organisation. This indicates the precise actions of the organisational members in each category during the knowledge creation process. This research will be successful in its role of showing the indispensability of ethos—the new concept of knowledge assets, which enables knowledge creation—for future knowledge-based management in the knowledge society.

スペインにおける日産自動車の進出と物流システムの構築

本研究では,買収によってスペインに進出した日産自動車の現地子会社・日産モトールイベリカ社(NMISA)を事例企業として,その物流システムの構築プロセスを明らかにした.さらに,サブ.ライヤーとの部品調達関係を詳細に分析することで,近年NMISAが現実的な諸条件の中で物流システムをどのように発展させているのかを考察した. NMISAでは,そのサプライヤーが広域的に分散立地しているため,ミルクラン方式や調節倉庫利用方式といったさまざまな部品調達方法を導入し,「修正ジャスト・イン・タイム」というかたちでJIT納入を実現している・スペイ.ンでこうした多様な調達方法が発展した背景には, NMISAがサプライヤーの地域的分布に対応した側面だけではなく,英国日産との部品の共同購入の進展や,サプライヤーとの取引量や力関係,部品の特性など,部品調達をめぐるさまざまな条件に適応している側面も認められた.こうした現地における物流システムの構築プロセスには,既存企業の買収という進出形態や生産の小規模性が大きな影響を与えていた.

CAD/CAM System at Nissan Motor

The CAD/CAM system has been established mainly in the field of automotive body sheet metal engineering. The system is a combination of large host mainframes, interactive graphics, on-line plotters and NC machines. The realized CAD/CAM system fulfills the following: (1) The automotive body surfaces are defined by a complete mathematical model. Original data of the model is taken from a clay model. As the result, press tools can be made quickly and precisely using NC techniques. (2) Drawings of body sheet metal are originated on the graphics computer. This data is available to other engineers, such as structural analysts and NC part programmers. (3) In addition, this system is the best tool for helping engineers examine wiping area of windshield, movement of side glass, volume of fuel tank, validity of wiring diagram and so on. This paper covers the key elements of CAD/CAM at Nissan Motor Company.

Japanese Women and the Dual-Track Employment System

M wRS. NAKAMOTO Miyo brought suit against the Nissan Motor Company for discharging her in I969 at age fifty. The Tokyo District Court ruled against her in 1971. On 12 March 1973, Judge Taniguchi Shigeyoshi of the Tokyo Superior Court also ruled against her and in his summation declared: Women generally are physiologically inferior to men, and a fifty-five year old woman's working efficiency is equivalent to that of a seventy year old man. Thus the mandatory retirement of women five years earlier than men is not discriminatory practice.' Commenting on this case a western observer in Japan wrote:
