Japanese term or phrase: 日々完
Has anyone run across 日々完? It is part of a company motto about quality. I am guessing that it means something like "day-in, day-out until the end." Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Perfection in Every Day


Explanation:
Looking at it in terms of the 日々、the idea of day in, day out operations is certainly understandable. I'm still up in the air if this is more of a 完璧 feel or a 完成 kind of notion, but if the overall message is of quality, then perfection would be the way to go.

当社は質によって日々完という主義で運用します。
Here I'd probably say something like "Our company operates on a principle of 'Perfection in Every Day.'"
