【Φ-Conductor Case Study】Yoshinoya Holdings Co., Ltd.

Introducing a case where business integration of multiple stores and various business types was achieved on the same system.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "Φ-Conductor" at Yoshinoya Holdings Co., Ltd. Due to the vertical system environment at the business company level, such as "Yoshinoya" and "Hanamaru," where inventory, logistics, and distribution systems are operated individually, the efficiency of logistics across the entire group was hindered. After the introduction of our product, a foundation for joint management and joint delivery was established by centrally managing the precise inventory of multiple businesses and brands, and the unification of logistics information for traceability was also achieved. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges - Standardization of business processes - Standardization/centralization of masters - Support for precise allocation and arrangement operations ■ Implementation Effects - Integration of business systems across multiple businesses, achieving significant reduction in system costs - Standardization of complex operational tasks for each externally contracted delivery center - Integration of system infrastructure, built in a cloud environment *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

[Φ-Pilot Implementation Case] Seiko Time Lab Co., Ltd.

This is an example of significantly improved order processing efficiency through "automated demand forecasting and visualization of future inventory."

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the "Φ-Pilot Series" at Seiko Time Lab Co., Ltd. Previously, demand forecasting was merely an extension of simple average shipment volumes, which led to risks of stockouts and excess inventory during peak demand periods throughout the year. After the introduction of our product, we successfully standardized operations, enabling smooth handovers between order managers. The accuracy of demand forecasting improved, making it easier to maintain appropriate inventory levels. Visualization and sharing among team members enhanced the quality of meetings, resulting in shorter meeting times and easier decision-making for orders. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges - Each product category was managed by individuals relying on their experience for ordering, leading to a lack of standardization. ■ Implementation Effects - Successful standardization of operations. - Smooth handovers between order managers became possible. - The style of ordering meetings dramatically changed.

[Φ-Pilot Implementation Case] Bourbon Co., Ltd.

This is an example of systematizing the calculation and examination of demand forecasting, achieving the standardization and automation of complex supply and demand planning tasks.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the "Φ-Pilot Series" at Bourbon Co., Ltd. The demand (shipment) forecasting process had become complex, and the calculation of production requirements was primarily done manually, which took a lot of time and effort. By using an implementation method that customizes only the necessary parts based on a package model, we were able to reliably operate an information infrastructure that consolidates production and sales information, such as shipment forecasting calculations and production requirement calculations, in a short period of time, achieving standardization and automation of operations. As a result, we were able to reduce the labor hours for production planning by about half compared to before the implementation.

【Φ-Pilot Implementation Case #1】 Fuji Oil Co., Ltd.

This is an example of a business reform that achieved inventory placement optimization by changing the inventory replenishment operations for logistics hubs (warehouses) from a "warehouse responsibility system" to a "product category responsibility system."

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the "Φ-Pilot Series" at Fuji Oil Co., Ltd. Previously, each warehouse had personnel performing inventory replenishment tasks, which meant that as the number of warehouses increased, so did the labor costs. The more warehouses there were, the more difficult it became to control the inventory balance between them. By using a method to distribute the optimal amount of inventory from the upper warehouses to the lower warehouses, we were able to achieve both labor reduction and optimal inventory balance among the lower warehouses simultaneously, resulting in approximately 40% labor savings. Additionally, the introduction of the Φ-Pilot facilitated standardization, allowing for flexibility in business delegation during vacations and job rotations, ultimately achieving 100% telework and work style reform.

[Φ-Pilot Implementation Case] Tarami Co., Ltd.

This is an example of realizing a system that centrally manages everything from demand forecasting to production planning and inventory planning, enabling the necessary information to be shared and collaborated on among specialized departments.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the "Φ-Pilot Series" at Tarami Co., Ltd. Demand forecasting, production planning, and product inventory information were managed in fragments using Excel in each department, making it difficult to quickly reference necessary information. This resulted in challenges in predicting future inventory and visibility was limited to recent inventory levels, leading to risks of excess and stagnant inventory as well as potential future stockouts. With the centralization of PSI management information (data), the sales department found it easier to check inventory status and shipment forecasts, which improved the accuracy of demand forecasting and eliminated unnecessary manual work in the production department. The logistics department also found it easier to manage transfer plans, inventory adjustments, and the acceptable limits for expiration dates. In particular, amidst a very large number of products, it became possible to identify alerts for future excess and stockouts, reducing the burden of high-accuracy PSI planning and supply-demand adjustments, and overall, the input workload was reduced to less than 60%.

【Φ-Conductor Implementation Case】Major General Retail Product Procurement Company

Semi-automating the allocation and shipping adjustment tasks for weekly orders based on expiration dates of fresh imported goods, significantly improving efficiency.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "Φ-Conductor" at a major general retail product procurement company. "We have established an order and allocation system capable of handling all fresh imported products (raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products in agriculture, livestock, fisheries, and floriculture)." 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - The fresh imported goods division handles agricultural, livestock, and fishery products, and due to the differing inventory management and allocation methods for each product, operations have become complex, relying on Excel and fax. - With Excel management as the primary method and information exchange via fax, human errors frequently occurred, and the volume of paper output was significant. - When seasonal demand temporarily increased the workload, additional personnel were hired to cope. ■Implementation Effects ● The new system allows for optimal allocation simulations based on the situation, significantly improving work efficiency by enabling a consistent process up to the confirmation of shipping instructions. ● The reallocation of inventory and shipping adjustment tasks have been semi-automated through a scheduling simulation function. ● By web-enabling requests to related companies, we achieved a paperless environment. ● Even during busy periods or when transactions increased, we were able to manage with the current staff. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

[Φ-Pilot Implementation Case] Tominaga Trading Co., Ltd.

Achieving a 30% reduction in food waste! Introducing examples that have also led to increased awareness and morality regarding food waste.

To Toinaga Trading Co., Ltd., we would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the "Φ-Pilot Series." It has become difficult to manage inventory control for products with different shipping deadlines for each manufacturing lot using only Excel. As a result, delays in noticing issues led to losses due to expired shipping deadlines, as well as the risk of stockouts. With our product's expiration date monitoring system, we successfully detected products that were likely to expire in the future early on and took proactive measures, resulting in approximately a 30% reduction in losses. [Case Summary] ■Challenges - Losses due to expired shipping deadlines - Risk of stockouts ■Implementation Effects - Successfully reduced losses by approximately 30% - Stockouts have almost ceased to occur

[Φ-Pilot Introduction Case Study #2] Fuji Oil Co., Ltd.

This is an example of a business reform that achieved a 25% reduction in labor by transferring the inventory replenishment operations for customer-designated warehouses (VMI) from the sales department to the logistics department.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the "Φ-Pilot Series" at Fuji Oil Co., Ltd. The inventory replenishment for customer-designated warehouses (VMI) was reliant on individual sales representatives using Excel and other tools, resulting in inconsistent formats and procedures, leading to a business style dependent on individuals. This made it difficult to increase the number of customer-designated warehouses handled. In a previous logistics department project, we had established a system for optimal inventory placement among major warehouses through the introduction of Φ-Pilot. Therefore, we aimed to understand the actual demand for customer-designated warehouses and optimize VMI warehouse inventory replenishment using Φ-Pilot. As a result, sales representatives were able to focus on their core sales activities. Additionally, inventory placement at major warehouses became more accurate, bringing us closer to building a more advanced supply chain and a sustainable logistics system.
