for the production of individual products based on a
comprehensive assessment of various considerations.
These factors include cost, taxation, logistics, the ease

tional improvements in productivity for the entire
Canon Group.

optimized production system, Canon
seeks improved quality and productivity
by putting a priority on conducting
production operations itself to ensure the

products such as assembly of EF lens units. (the Utsunomiya Plant, Japan)
