We would like to introduce a case where we proposed the extension of a mezzanine and the addition of a clean room to the production factory of an automotive parts manufacturer. In this factory, materials were stored in a clean room, but due to increased production, there was a shortage of storage space. They were struggling because the existing room was set up on the mezzanine, making it difficult to relocate to another area. By creating additional space, the factory's capacity improved. Since the extension could be made in the originally required location, unnecessary work was avoided, and a decrease in operational efficiency was prevented. [Case Overview] ■ Issues - Want to increase storage space despite having no surplus space ■ Effects - By creating additional space, the factory's capacity improved - Increased product stock capacity led to improved production efficiency *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of how we proposed the installation of roller conveyors for each product number to improve the efficiency of product storage space. As a background, there was a pressure on product storage space due to a rapid increase in production volume, leading to storage by pallet and cart, which made it difficult to manage first-in, first-out (FIFO) and the number of products as well as product number management. With our proposal, managing product numbers and keeping track of the number of products became easier, and the alignment of products through natural inclination ensured reliable FIFO. 【Case Overview】 ■ Issues - Improvement of product storage environment - Desire to make product number and quantity management easier - Enhancement of overall visibility in the workspace ■ Effects - Improved visibility in the workspace, contributing to the prevention of contact accidents during work *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
