The Inverse Network Yamaguchi office has implemented TPiCS for production management of custom PCs "FRONTIER," achieving over 80% cost reduction compared to the previous system era. Utilizing the flexibility of TPiCS, which allows for the free selection of functions, they created a simple configuration that retains only the necessary features for short-term manufacturing. "It may differ from ordinary manufacturing production management systems, but it has become a system closer to our ideal," says Koji Kobayashi, the director of the Yamaguchi office. *For more details, please request materials or view the PDF data from the download section.

Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.'s Electronics Division's major overseas production base, Sumitomo Electric Industries (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. In the electronic wire division, the establishment of a new company in 2010 transformed it from a processing-only operation to a self-sufficient factory that handles procurement, processing, and assembly. The production management is supported by TPiCS based on f-MRP. Six years since full-scale operation, the thorough employee training during this period has borne fruit, resulting in significant improvements in on-time delivery rates and manufacturing lead times, achieving great results. *For more details, please request materials or view the PDF data from the download section.

The production management system of the Kinki Electric Telecommunication Division, which operates as a fabless manufacturer (without its own factory), is progressing extremely well. All members of the planning department have a good understanding of the business flow and are reliably managing operations from production planning to material procurement, inventory management, and delivery management. The end-of-month processing, which is done in rotation, is handled quickly by everyone. "The introduction of TPiCS and entrusting the autonomy of the team members has been effective," says Koji Ikoma, the head of both the Technical Department and the Planning Department of the division. *For more details, please request materials or view the PDF data from the download section.*

The production management system of Asagoe Industries' processing division (Seiki Factory No. 1 and No. 2) is fully operational. It has been six years since we revamped the production management, which was previously based on the intuition of veteran employees, by utilizing TPiCS. The work-in-progress inventory and work progress for each process have become "visible," allowing for appropriate ordering to the casting department and partner companies. Initially, there were concerns about the accuracy of inputting actual results, but this has improved. "It feels like it has completely blended into our company's DNA now," says Yoshio Fujiwara, Director of the Headquarters Planning Department. *For more details, please request materials or view the PDF data from the download section.*

Fujik Corporation's production management system is showing a strong growth curve. After going through several failures in the past, we introduced "TPiCS" with a sense of desperation, and now it has permeated every corner of the workplace. Inventory and process management have been optimized, and what used to be over 40% in delivery delays has now been effectively reduced to zero. "Recently, no one has said 'the technology is top-notch, but the management is third-rate' anymore. Without being satisfied with the current situation, I want to aim for even higher goals and boldly take on challenges," says President Yasuyo Fujii with a smile. *For more details, please request materials or view the PDF data from the download section.

TPiCS's production number management allows for three methods: f-MRP production number, advance arrangement production number, and basic production number management. 【Production Number】 ■B Production Number (Basic Production Number Management) Through the expansion of production numbers, a planning schedule connected by production numbers is created, following the product composition from the production number plan to products, intermediate units, materials, and parts. It is possible to change the product composition for each production number plan. S Production Number (Advance Arrangement Production Number Management) Intermediate units are arranged and produced using advance production numbers, and the confirmed production number can allocate this for product production. F Production Number (f-MRP Production Number Management) The calculation of required quantities is performed flexibly using f-MRP in response to demand fluctuations, and this management method links the created planning details with production numbers. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

The f-MRP production number system of "TPiCS-X" is designed to achieve stable production while following recent planning changes, based on the premise of a certain degree of repeatability, by adding the concept of buffers to the conventional MRP through f-MRP. Additionally, it allows for production number management linked to orders and production plans for products, and enables f-MRP management and production number management to be set for products, parts, materials, and intermediate processes. Products can be managed by production numbers up to the intermediate processes, while parts and materials can be arranged using the resilient f-MRP, allowing for a mixed operation. 【Features】 ■ Achieves "fast, low-cost, responsive, and stable production" ■ Automatically creates production and arrangement plans from intermediate units to raw materials at the end ■ When calculating required quantities, generates production plans by considering current inventory, ordered quantities, supplier delivery delays, and work delays *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

We will solve the five challenges faced by the manufacturing industry with "TPiCS-X." It is not surprising if you think, "Can such a thing be done with a system costing just 1 or 2 million yen?" Of course, simply purchasing TPiCS-X will not solve these "challenges." It is necessary for you to understand the production management concepts we propose and to put them into practice. The path is by no means easy. However, it is a path that will definitely lead to true solutions. 【Five Challenges】 1. Short lead-time production and production that responds to changes 2. Realizing visibility on the shop floor 3. Eliminating shipping delays 4. Reducing inventory 5. Responding to design changes and delays in drawing issuance *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

Kyoden Precision has unified the production management of its three businesses, which had been operated separately for many years, under "TPiCS." While maintaining the independence of each business, a system of distributed and centralized operations with a sense of unity has been established. The shift from defensive to proactive production management has improved employee motivation. On-site improvements have also progressed significantly. The company plans to fully utilize the production management system not only to enhance the efficiency of individual businesses but also to provide a fully in-house one-stop solution, which is the company's overall goal. *For more details, please request materials or view the PDF data from the download section.
