[Case Study] Responding to seasonal demand fluctuations and optimizing business processes for small-lot, multi-product production. Achieving lead time reduction and cost reduction.
By introducing the core business package "EXPLANNER/J" and the procurement EDI "EBWeb," we have achieved the standardization of operations aimed at overall optimization, facilitated bidirectional information collaboration with suppliers, halved manufacturing lead times, reduced work-in-progress inventory, lowered indirect costs, and made cost visibility a reality. Here, we present a case study of a customer who has implemented these solutions. 【Shizuoka Seiki Co., Ltd.】 ■Challenges - Due to concentrated demand and a lead time of two months, it is necessary to establish production plans based on anticipated future demand. - Because of the small-lot, multi-variety production, adjusting orders, confirming delivery dates, and changing quantities or delivery dates is a significant burden that is done manually. - Only veterans can manage which parts are needed at what stage, and the costs for each component are not understood. ■Implementation Results - Reduction in lost sales opportunities and work-in-progress inventory. - Achieved the acceleration and labor-saving of purchasing operations. - Gained the ability to understand costs for each component, enabling cost reduction considerations. ◎ For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
