The global economic environment and industrial structure have undergone significant changes in recent years. The financial crisis originating in the United States (the Lehman Shock) quickly shook the financial systems worldwide, a memory that is still fresh. The speed of change continues to accelerate without pause. In such a rapidly changing economic environment, companies must navigate without drowning and strive to succeed. Until now, management analysis referred to analyzing a company's health based on financial statements and performance. However, in today's fast-paced world, merely analyzing past results will not allow companies to win in competitive markets. Being proactive is essential. Therefore, what is now required is a broad management analysis that examines various internal and external factors surrounding the company, translates them into corporate strategies, and determines the direction the company should take.

When performing machining of parts, the work specification document outlines the type of processing and the procedures for each machine, as well as the determination of standard processing man-hours for each machine. In cases where dimensional tolerances are strict, the process design specified three steps: lathe processing, polishing processing, and milling processing. However, by changing perspectives and thinking differently, if materials that meet the dimensional tolerances can be procured, it can be reduced to just two steps: lathe processing and milling processing, thereby reducing the costs incurred in the polishing process.

In recent years, various machines have been converted to NC (numerical control), and automation has rapidly advanced. Carefully considering labor costs, equipment costs, and layout, managing 2 to 3 machines per person is an essential method for improving productivity. At the Future Change Center, we are assisting everyone in creating systems to enhance productivity.

In the manufacturing field, if there is variation in the work time of each process, it leads to increased waiting time and work in progress, resulting in losses. No matter how much you shorten the takt time of each process, if the process with the longest takt time remains unchanged, waiting will occur and it will not contribute to improved productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the balance of the entire process.

In recent years, cost reduction in manufacturing has made significant progress. On the other hand, the proportion of procurement (materials and parts) in costs is far greater than other costs. As seen with the aforementioned automobile manufacturers, price negotiations for procurement have become increasingly stringent. Each company is managing the flow of "development - procurement - production - distribution - sales" in a centralized manner using supply chain management techniques, striving to achieve optimal production with optimal inventory and prevent opportunity losses. At the Future Change Center, we are assisting everyone in finding ways to reduce procurement costs while being aware of such market conditions.
