Rebuilding the Weaknesses of Handmade by Process Design 30,000 units in total, full-scale start of anniversary and commemorative gift model with new structure

General Incorporated Association, P&P, Employment Support Network for Persons with Disabilities (Head office: Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture; Representative Director: Yoko Okudake), a general incorporated association, has established a system that can handle the introduction of products above a certain scale by redesigning the production process to address the issue of handmade products, which have been considered unsuitable for mass introduction. On February 26, 2026, the company will launch a full-scale "anniversary and commemorative gift design model" based on this initiative.

The production process that underpins the anniversary and commemorative product model. Work scenery designed in stages from the elementary to the final process.

Combination of "differentiation" and "stable supply" required for anniversary and commemorative products

While companies and municipalities continue to diversify their anniversary policies, commemorative products are required to achieve both differentiation and stable supply. However, handmade commemorative products, which are easy to differentiate, have been considered a challenge to introduce on a certain scale.

The corporation has redesigned the production process and realized uniform quality and a stable supply through the division of labor. We have built a system that is capable of handling introductions above a certain scale, such as anniversary commemorative items and government-related projects.

Since the company's establishment, the cumulative production of this model for milestone and commemorative purposes has reached approximately 30,000 units (celebratory chopsticks are converted into pairs) as of February 2026.

Structural Problems with Handmade Products

Traditionally, handmade products have been

Dependence on artists and individual skills

Variation in quality

Unstable delivery time

Difficulty in introducing handmade products in company lots

The introduction of handmade products in a company lot has been considered difficult above a certain scale due to the following reasons. Especially in welfare workplaces, there are differences in training periods and work characteristics, so designing a stable supply is highly challenging.

■Overcoming this difficulty through process design

The greatest feature of this model is that it is not writer-dependent, but has been reconstructed as a process design type.

1. decomposition of the work process and stepwise design

(2) Clarification of quality standards and unification of inspection processes

3. standardization of packaging and final process including visual design

The following three steps have been introduced.

This has enabled us to,

Support for periodic orders

Stable supply on a company-by-company basis

Uniform quality at the novelty level

The new system has realized the following goals.

The integrated design from order to delivery and the stepwise design of the elementary, intermediate, and final processes simultaneously improve skills and ensure a stable supply.

The overall structure of the anniversary and commemorative product model overcomes the weak points of handmade products by combining the skill stage design and stable supply design.
