Due to the large number of products and the difficulty in product management, we received a request to manage the acceptance of cardboard boxes at the factory using a two-dimensional code. While it is possible to print a two-dimensional code on the delivery slip, since it will be used at the factory, we added a program to print the two-dimensional code on the product kanban. We can embed the order number, material number, delivery date, quantity, and other information into the two-dimensional code. Additionally, it is possible to customize the system to fit the customer's business needs. [Overview] ■ Issues - There are a large number of products, making product management challenging. - There is a desire to manage the acceptance of cardboard boxes at the factory using a two-dimensional code. ■ Results - A program was added to print the two-dimensional code on the product kanban. - The order number, material number, delivery date, quantity, and other information can be embedded in the two-dimensional code. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We received a consultation from Company A, a box manufacturer, stating that it takes a lot of time to find the desired sheet due to the large number of sheets available, and they were looking for a more efficient method. We have retained the case registration information you have. If you specify the product number when placing an order, we have made it possible to print the customer name, product name, and process in addition to the existing information. Now, you can search for sheets more quickly than when you relied on the order number, resulting in increased efficiency. Additionally, with the customer and product names printed, mistakes such as using the sheet for the wrong product have been eliminated. [Challenges] ■ Previously, only flute, configuration, width, and flow were recorded. ■ When ordering sheets, the order number was specified, and sheets were searched based on that number. ■ It was not intuitive, and it took time to find the desired sheet. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At Printing Company A, three printing machines are in operation, and their operational status is compiled monthly, recording the output quantity, defective numbers, and operating hours on paper. As the trend towards small lot production of various items progresses, the price transfer for small lots has not advanced, and there is a desire to understand profitability based on the working hours for each product. We proposed a performance data collection device that we also use. The three printing machines from different manufacturers can be managed by a single collection device, and thanks to the transition from manual data collection to automatic collection, input errors have been eliminated, increasing the reliability of the performance data. [Challenges] - The operational status was being recorded and compiled on paper. - As the trend towards small lot production of various items progresses, the price transfer for small lots has not advanced. - There is a desire to understand profitability based on the working hours for each product. - Attempting to compile setup times on paper while working with a stopwatch is inefficient. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

We received a request to "come up with a delivery that improves work efficiency." When delivering the ordered cardboard boxes, we did not have prior knowledge of the order in which the customer would use them, making it difficult for the customer to find the necessary cardboard products during the delivery. Therefore, we consulted with the transportation department and drivers who actually deliver the products, and thought that it could be resolved by unloading the sheets in a way that is easy for the customer to use. We made suggestions such as, "Ask the customer for instructions and place the item they want to use first on top when unloading." 【Proposal Details】 ■ Ask the customer for instructions and place the item they want to use first on top when unloading. ■ Unload the sheets in the order of use on pallets near the machines. ■ Standardize the orientation of signs so that products can be easily distinguished. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Currently, we are using expanded polystyrene for packaging, but we are struggling to secure inventory space. We received a consultation regarding whether there is a good method to reduce inventory space. We proposed changing the packaging specification from expanded polystyrene to cardboard. With the current expanded polystyrene packaging, we have to store a large amount of finished expanded polystyrene, which takes up a tremendous amount of space. However, by suggesting the features of cardboard packaging (foldability), we were able to manage it in a flat manner, allowing for more efficient use of space. [Overview] ■ Issues - We are using expanded polystyrene for packaging, but securing inventory space is difficult. - If we increase the number of product items, the initial investment for expanded polystyrene packaging can cost several million yen. ■ Results - We were able to manage it in a flat manner, allowing for more efficient use of space. - It became easy to increase a variety of packaging materials at a cost of several tens of thousands of yen. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Currently, we have been using a brown-based EF thickness (around 1.2mm), but due to the increasing difficulty in securing storage space, we have received a request to reduce inventory space. Since it was impossible to change the design to reduce materials and thickness while maintaining the current packaging shape, we resolved the issue by reviewing the material. By reducing the thickness of the material by 0.7mm, we decreased the stacking space and achieved a cost reduction of 3% (with variations depending on the lot and specifications). Because it is a special material, we also proposed it for printing applications (offset printing). [Overview] ■ Issues - Difficulty in securing storage space - Desire to reduce storage space by changing cardboard material ■ Proposal - Current EF material thickness (around 1.2mm) → GF material thickness (0.5mm) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study that addresses the issue of wanting to change the shape of cardboard boxes. Currently, we are using B-type (wire-stopped) cases, which require a large storage space for cardboard box inventory. Additionally, the current joining method using wire is not environmentally friendly, and we received inquiries about whether it was possible to change the shape of the cardboard. By switching to a die-cut box that does not use wire, we were able to deliver it in a single sheet state. This also reduced the client's inventory space and resulted in environmentally friendly packaging. 【Overview】 ■ Issues - Large storage space required for cardboard box inventory - Joining method using wire is not environmentally friendly ■ Results - Changed to B-type (die-cut and wrap-around type) shape - Enabled delivery in a single sheet state - Reduced inventory space *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study that addresses the challenge of wanting to reduce the number of types of cardboard boxes and decrease inventory space. Currently, there are three types of cases (large 10-pack, medium 16-pack, small 36-pack) within the series products that have the same box dimensions but slightly different printing surfaces, and orders were placed uniformly for each type. However, we faced issues with product management and inventory space. By using printed check items on a single type of case, we were able to standardize and simplify case management for the three types. This reduced inventory space and also saved costs on rubber plates during revisions. 【Overview】 ■ Challenges - Existence of three types of cases with slightly different printing surfaces - Desire to reduce the number of types of cardboard boxes and decrease inventory space - Issues with product management and inventory space ■ Results - Printed check items on a single type of case - Standardization and simplification of case management for three types - Reduced inventory space *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case that responds to the request from Company A, which is engaged in wholesale and mail order of health foods. Depending on the number of products shipped, we used three types of cardboard boxes: a small box for 2 items, a medium box for 4 items, and a large box for 6 items. Therefore, we proposed a common case. We added two folds to the body of the cardboard, allowing the height of the box to be adjusted in three stages. The inventory of cardboard boxes was reduced to just one type per product, leading to a decrease in stock. [Challenges] - The inventory of cardboard boxes is overwhelming the warehouse. - There is a shortage of cardboard boxes due to sudden orders. - We want to reduce the number of types of cardboard boxes. - We want to decrease the inventory space. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We received requests from customers stating, "I want to place orders for products easily and without mistakes" and "I want to manage products more easily." Currently, orders are placed using product names, but there are many similar products, which can lead to ordering mistakes. Additionally, due to the large variety of products handled, it has been difficult for customers to keep track of everything, and they felt that the ordering process was somewhat burdensome. By standardizing products with a common code, ordering mistakes have become less likely, and since products are registered with codes, the ordering and management of products have become easier. [Challenges] ■ I want to place orders for products easily and without mistakes. ■ There are many similar products, which can lead to ordering mistakes. ■ Due to the large variety of products handled, it is difficult to keep track of everything. ■ The large number of products makes order management complicated. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where we solved the challenge of "wanting to shorten the delivery time for ultra-small cases" through our proposal. Boxes that are too small are often made by hand, which takes a lot of time for manufacturing. The semi-A type requires all individual tasks such as cutting the cardboard sheets to size, making incisions, and gluing to be done manually, which is time-consuming. To address this, we manufactured the semi-A type box as an A type case using a machine, with the body parts aligned to a larger size, and then cut the finished product in the middle. The A type is a format suited for mechanization and high-speed production, resulting in a productivity improvement that is incomparable. [Overview] ■ Challenge - Boxes that are too small are often made by hand, leading to longer manufacturing times. - All individual tasks were performed manually. ■ Result - By manufacturing as an A type case and cutting in the middle, we created a semi-A type box. - The cardboard sheets, now double the size, can be directly fed into the machine without the need for cutting. - Delivery time was shortened by one day. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At Company A, which conducts machine assembly, the factory manager managed the delivery dates of each machine, the scheduled personnel for each process, and the progress status of each process using handwritten paper. Due to changes in delivery dates and the frequent need for workers to go out for unexpected repair requests, there were issues such as scheduled changes not being communicated correctly to subordinates, leading to the question, "How can we share information among ourselves?" We proposed using the freeware groupware that our company utilizes. With the introduction of groupware, each individual can now always view the latest schedules. 【Issues】 ■ The delivery dates of each machine, the scheduled personnel for each process, and the progress status of each process are managed by the factory manager using handwritten paper. ■ There are frequent changes in processes due to delivery date adjustments and unexpected repair requests, leading to scheduled changes not being communicated correctly to subordinates. ■ The company has obtained ISO 9001 certification and is also struggling with the increasing management of documents year by year. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The customer is packing products into cardboard, which is the packaging material, and is performing bagging operations inside the box, using the lid to hook the bags for packaging the products. However, during this process, the corners of the lid (flap) get caught due to the weight of the products, causing the bags to tear, resulting in bag loss and increased working time. The issue lies in the corners of the flap getting caught in the bags, so it was proposed to eliminate this by rounding the corners through R processing (a process that rounds the corners using a die). As a result, the tearing of bags due to corner catches has decreased, leading to a reduction in bag loss, labor costs, and time. 【Customer's Issues】 ■ The corners of the lid (flap) get caught due to the weight of the products, causing the bags to tear. ■ Bag loss occurs. ■ Increased working time. *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.

When lifting heavy items weighing over 10 kg that are placed in cardboard boxes, the edges of the handle holes dig into the hands, causing pain and making it difficult to hold for long periods. To address this, our company has switched the handle holes from full holes (completely cut out) to half holes (the lower half is cut out, and the upper half is folded inward to protect the hands), thereby reducing the burden on the workers. In jobs that involve handling heavy items for extended periods, such small adjustments can make a significant difference. 【Case Summary】 ■Problem: - When lifting heavy items over 10 kg placed in cardboard boxes, the edges of the handle holes dig into the hands, causing pain and making it difficult to hold for long periods. ■Proposal: Switch the handle holes from full holes to half holes. ■Effect: Reduce the burden on the workers. *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.

In the most commonly used A-style case, it is essential to secure the bottom with tape or glue before the packing process, as everything would fall out without a bottom. If you are engaged in a job that involves packing a large number of boxes daily, the task of securing the bottom alone can be a significant burden. To alleviate this task, there are bottom processing methods known as bottom lock and American lock. The completed boxes can be secured without the use of tape or glue, greatly improving the efficiency of the packing process. Our customers who are involved in large-scale packing are very pleased with this. [Case Summary] ■ Problem: A-style cases require tape or glue to secure the bottom. ■ Proposal: Bottom processing methods known as bottom lock and American lock. ■ Effects: - Can be secured without tape or glue. - Significantly improves the efficiency of the packing process. *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.

When placing the assembled dividers into the case, there was a phenomenon where the dividers would fall out when lifted, which hindered work and caused difficulties for customers. In response, our company added an additional cut at the top of the divider's slotter shape. By adding this single cut, the dividers fit together more securely, eliminating the phenomenon of them "falling out" when lifted and placed into the case, thus improving work efficiency. Additionally, even when the assembled dividers are stacked, they no longer become disordered or collapse. [Case Summary] <Problem> ■ There is a phenomenon where the dividers fall out when lifted. ■ It hinders work and causes difficulties. <Suggestion> ■ Add an additional cut at the top of the divider's slotter. *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.

Currently, there has been a significant request from the purchasing department for a price reduction on cardboard products, and we have been cooperating to reduce costs. During delivery, the products are bundled in a compact state without assembly, which makes them compact, but the assembly of dividers is required, resulting in a very time-consuming process and poor packaging efficiency. In response, we proposed delivering the dividers already assembled. Although the product cost increased, the elimination of the assembly work for the dividers improved the labor costs relatively. Additionally, we proposed a compact divider that is integrated with a cushioning pad (Kamikon). By making it an integrated unit, we eliminated issues such as drop damage during packaging, thereby increasing convenience. [Case Summary] ■ Problem: The cost of cardboard products is low, but the labor costs are high. ■ Proposal 1. Deliver with dividers already assembled. 2. A compact divider integrated with a cushioning pad (Kamikon). *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.
