TOKYO (Reuters) - Toshiba Memory Corp, the world’s second-biggest producer of NAND flash memory chips, said on Friday its plant in central Japan will resume full production by mid-July.

The plant has been partially suspended since a brief power outage in the region on June 15.

The suspension also affected Western Digital Corp WDC.O, Toshiba Memory's joint venture partner.
