Stop managing with paper and Excel, reducing over 3,000 hours of work annually! Achieve enhanced quality control systems through refined first-in-first-out and expiration date management.
We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of the inventory management system "SmartF" at Meihan Vacuum Industry Co., Ltd., a chemical manufacturer.
The company faced challenges due to the continued operation of manually entering incoming, inventory movement, and stocktaking data into paper and Excel, which placed a significant burden on the staff.
As a result of the implementation, by using handheld terminals and QR code operations, manual input was reduced to zero, saving over 3,000 hours of labor annually.
[Challenges]
■ After daily incoming operations, the quantity received was manually entered into the Excel inventory management sheet.
■ Inventory movements were also manually entered into the Excel inventory management sheet, making it impossible to check the real-time inventory status on the manufacturing floor.
■ Stocktaking took a full day using shelf tags, and the subsequent stocktaking data took 5 business days to enter manually.
■ To know the accurate inventory, daily requests were made to the site to confirm the actual inventory numbers.
