Introducing a case that achieved a savings of 550,000 yuan in annual expenditures by saving on the addition of 10 sets of equipment investment each year!
The company Shigen Electric Co., Ltd., which operates in a specialized industry, faced issues due to the complexity of its processes and numerous constraints, making it impossible to consider all constraints when manually creating production plans, thus failing to meet the company's needs.
In response, we decided to implement our 'Asprova' in 2009.
After the implementation, the number of planners decreased from 6-8 to 3. Additionally, by improving the production planning, we were able to reduce the average monthly inventory by approximately 4 million yuan.
[Challenges]
- Production managers or planners, based on their experience, provide rough delivery dates by looking at orders, resources, and purchasing lead times, but their speed is slow and accuracy is lacking.
- In the event of temporary changes, timely adjustments to plans and predictions of outcomes cannot be made.
- The accuracy of production planning is low, leading to significant fluctuations in manufacturing line loads and frequent overtime.
- The efficiency of plan creation is low, with 6-8 people involved in production planning.
- Plans lack flexibility, resulting in excessive resource allocation and waste.
