A case where an appropriate inventory management system was introduced and improved a site that was frequently experiencing stockouts and delivery delays due to inadequate inventory management.
In the manufacturing industry, proper management of materials and work-in-progress is a crucial point for meeting deadlines and managing lead times effectively. Therefore, an inventory management system that allows for easy confirmation of what items, how many, and the status of orders is essential.
However, if the person in charge manages the complex inventory management solely through Excel or handwritten notes, it can lead to the following issues:
- Compared to competitors in the same industry, there is a clearly higher out-of-stock rate and longer delivery times. Since the same quantity is produced every time once decided, there are many products with extremely poor turnover rates, which worsens cash flow.
- Due to an inability to read production lead times and order forecasts, there is no sense of reorder points, leading to production not occurring until the last minute.
On this page, we introduce the following two points:
1. Case studies of manufacturers who have solved inventory management challenges through the implementation of an inventory management system.
2. Downloadable materials that explain how our system can address common challenges faced in manufacturing.
