In made-to-order production factories, it is not uncommon for the process from estimation to order receipt, shipping, and revenue recognition to take six months to over a year. The key to managing this long flow is to link all information using the manufacturing number (serial number) as a unique key. In assembly operations, the amount per project is significant, making individual payment management essential, while in processing operations, it is necessary to handle hundreds to thousands of orders monthly, consolidating deliveries and reconciling inspection statements. 【One Point Advice】In the sales system section, we will explain the differentiation between shipping standards and inspection standards, individual payment management by manufacturing number, practical reconciliation with customer inspection statements, and realistic methods for incorporating order data that mixes FAX, EDI, Excel, and PDF. This content will help you understand the concept of linking both sales and costs by manufacturing number. Please download it from the catalog page of Improove Co., Ltd. and take a look.

• Production Management System

In made-to-order production factories, there are persistent issues such as "projects that should be profitable ended up in the red during the financial closing," "despite a policy of not holding inventory, parts are piled up in the warehouse," and "while inventory is evaluated using the moving average method, the numbers become inconsistent with each return." This is not coincidental; it is a structural problem inherent in the made-to-order production model itself. Applying the theories of forecast production directly will inevitably lead to inconsistencies somewhere. 【One-point Advice】In the cost management and inventory management section, we will explain the concept of cost accounting that balances "preliminary figures" used for on-site cost reduction activities and "final figures" for financial closing, as well as management methods for materials, common parts, and semi-finished products that are unavoidable even under the principle of "not holding inventory," along with specific numerical examples. This book is packed with practical knowledge to help you break away from intuitive operations, including the correct calculation method for planned labor rates (a pitfall where calculating only direct labor costs results in lower-than-actual costs for work in progress) and how to choose inventory valuation methods (moving average method, weighted average method, last purchase method). Please download it from the catalog page of Improove Co., Ltd. and give it a read.

• Cost Management System

Estimates for production management systems often range from 8 million to 15 million yen, and many companies feel the need for business improvement but find it difficult to take the first step. However, with careful selection methods and approaches, it is entirely possible to reduce implementation costs by 30%. 【One Point Advice】In System Implementation Part 4, we will comprehensively explain the breakdown of implementation costs focusing on customization fees, points for cost reduction, how to conduct a "trace demo" using actual company data as if it were the real thing, methods to check processing speed that are not visible in demos, how to prevent critical digit limit issues such as "part numbers not fitting," and step-by-step implementation methods tailored to different business types, covering everything from just before the contract to after the contract.

• Production Management System

When selecting a production management system, it's easy to focus on functionality and price, but what truly influences actual operations are the technical aspects such as the operating environment, infrastructure type, and data integration. Whether it's browser-based or installed, cloud or on-premises, site-to-site VPN or remote access VPN—misjudging these distinctions can lead to situations where, after signing the contract, you find it "not what you expected." 【One Point Advice】In System Implementation Part 3, we will specifically explain the technical requirements, comparing browser-based and installed systems from six perspectives of usability, highlighting points of comparison unique to manufacturing for cloud and on-premises, differentiating between VPN methods, and discussing practical ways to manage alongside Excel. Please download it from the catalog page of Improove Co., Ltd. and take a look.

• Production Management System

When you want to implement a production management system, contacting a software vendor directly to request a demo is the gateway to failure. Many companies start with product selection, getting caught up in feature comparison charts without having established selection criteria, leading to the realization post-implementation that "this isn't what we wanted"—this pattern repeats itself. [One Point Advice] In System Implementation Part 1, we will explain the overall preparation for implementation, including the three steps of current situation analysis: interviews with management, interviews with the field, and creating a business flow; how to establish a cross-departmental project structure; criteria for deciding whether to implement sales management or production management first; and how to choose between packaged, semi-custom, and custom software.

• Production Management System

"While there are project management tools, it is difficult to allocate tasks to people." - Sakusuma addresses such concerns. It visualizes the three axes of production number, process, and personnel in a Gantt chart, allowing real-time understanding of who is assigned to which task. Work performance can be entered directly from a smartphone on-site, enabling monitoring of operational status even while on business trips or out. It moves away from paper forms and Excel management, systematizing process management that tends to become reliant on specific individuals. It is a practical system that supports the production sites of small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses.

• Process Control System

Are you having trouble with the acceptance process for delivered goods? The "acceptance" task can surprisingly involve a lot of waste and hassle. At the delivery reception location, you check the delivery slip and the delivered items. → If the quantity and model match your company's data, you attach a product label and transport it to the assembly area. → The office staff then inputs the details from the delivery slip into the computer, and only then is the information shared. In this process, it takes time for verification, and there is a time lag from the arrival of the delivered goods to data entry. In urgent situations, this wasted time and time lag can lead to delays in delivery. By using "Quick Acceptance," you can input the data for the delivered goods in real-time at the reception location. You provide the supplier with a delivery slip or product label with a barcode, and they deliver it along with the goods. → At the reception location, you use your smartphone camera to scan the barcode, completing the acceptance and transporting the goods to the assembly area. With just this, the acceptance process is finished. Partial deliveries are also possible. When you input data with your smartphone, it is written directly to the database, so there is no need to re-enter it in the office. Information can be shared instantly with other departments, allowing you to start work quickly, eliminating wasted time.
