[FlexSignal Case Study] Automotive Parts Manufacturer

Case study of a productivity improvement project through understanding operating rates and stoppage factors!

We would like to introduce a case study where our "FlexSignal" and the optional Alarm were implemented at an automotive parts manufacturer with sales of 3 billion yen. The company was experiencing fluctuations in production volume due to a lack of understanding of operational status and factors causing downtime. To secure the planned production numbers, they were relying on overtime and holiday work, which led to worker fatigue and turnover issues. In response, we proposed "FlexSignal" as a common information interface to collect data of the same granularity from both new and old equipment, focusing on understanding operational rates. By grasping the operational status, including factors causing downtime, improvement activities became more active. 【Case Overview】 ■Before - Unable to grasp operational status, leading to a lack of production control. ■After - Increased production efficiency through active improvement activities driven by understanding the factors causing downtime. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
