4 Integral or Modular Many Japanese companies in general, such as those in the electronics and drug industries, have developed and produced goods on the principle of vertically integrated self-sufficiency. This principle has its merits: namely, it raises the motivation of engineers who want to build fine products in-house, brings out the overall strength of the company by fusing company technologies. An integral type product seeks to enhance total performance by making fine adjustments among components. The typical example is the automobile: to make an automobile more comfortable to ride, for example, one must adjust not only the seats but also make mutual adjustments between the seat and the springs, tires, body and so on. A modular type product is created in a production system where pre-designed components are brought together into a finished product. Personal computers, DVD players and so on are typical examples; standardized interfaces among components make them easy to assemble. In a DVD player, for example, LSI devices play the interface role, while the various structural components are connected by the LSI devices and are independent of other components. Because of this, such products are typically easy to outsource. 3
