"PM-BOX" is a project management tool that quantifies individual productivity and accurately tracks project progress. Instead of vague progress reports like "around X%" or "almost complete," it allows for precise tracking of progress with specific numbers, enabling early detection of project delays and risks, and facilitating appropriate countermeasures. It can manage short tasks in 15-minute increments, leading to the discovery of unnecessary work and can be utilized in various scenarios such as efficient project operations and personnel evaluations. 【Features】 ■ Eliminates subjective reporting, enabling accurate progress management ■ Creates a system for autonomous reporting and communication, moving from "visualization" to "presentation" ■ Allows registration of short tasks such as administrative work and miscellaneous tasks in 15-minute increments ■ Manages progress and costs with EVM graph functionality ■ Patent obtained, Patent No. 6915821 ★ You can view materials introducing case studies from "PDF Download." We are also accepting applications for a free trial. Please feel free to contact us if you are interested. (Available for free for up to 5 users for a maximum of 1 month)

Instead of traditional visualization, we implement a system of "showing" (where frontline employees autonomously report and communicate without being prompted by their supervisors). This allows supervisors to add comments when approving their subordinates' daily reports, making information sharing (dialogue) between supervisors and subordinates a regular practice. With the daily report feature of PM-BOX, we make the frontline visible. *For more information about the project management system "PM-BOX," please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

The EVM graph of "PM-BOX" is reminiscent of a car navigation system that we use while driving (serving as a map that visualizes route instructions, paths, directions, and estimated arrival times to the destination). We want to know the current status of the entire project’s progress from start to finish (progress rate) and when we will reach the goal if the current progress continues (expected completion date). By navigating time, we have visualized how much further we have to go to the destination using the EVM graph feature of PM-BOX. *For more information about the project management system "PM-BOX," please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

In the future, the concept of "time is money" will likely shift from the quantity of time to the quality of time. Therefore, in the service industry, it is important for individual workers to understand their own hourly rate, ensuring that a worker earning 10,000 yen per hour does not engage in tasks that pay only 1,000 yen per hour. Appropriate pricing and suitable tasks will become crucial. The strengths and weaknesses of each employee can be measured by the time taken for tasks, and there will also be a need for a suitable person for the right job based on the work. Moving forward, analyzing "what is consuming our time" will also be necessary. Additionally, time performance (productivity per hour) will be increasingly demanded. So, how can we make individual strengths and weaknesses visible? We will analyze individual strengths and weaknesses using the productivity indicators of "PM-BOX" and make them visible. *For more information about the project management system "PM-BOX," please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

In project management, project managers (PM/PL) want to know the following information: - What is the productivity of each individual in the team? - Are we behind schedule or ahead of schedule? - It would be helpful to quantify the reasons and time in a graph. With "PM-BOX," it has become possible to analyze the causes by quantifying qualitative information such as "reasons for delays" in a graph. By visualizing the "reasons for delays" related to who spent how many hours on which tasks, or the "reasons for progress" that allowed us to move ahead, we can identify the causes and connect them to problem-solving. *For more information about the project management system "PM-BOX," please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

Mr. A worked for 10 hours on an 8-hour task, while Mr. B completed it in 6 hours. Despite a 2-hour loss in profit, Mr. A will receive overtime pay for 2 hours. Mr. B, who generated a profit in 2 hours, received no compensation. How can we solve this issue? As a solution, standardizing the 8-hour work time is necessary. With the productivity display feature of "PM-BOX," we can visualize individual productivity, allowing for appropriate evaluation of those like Mr. B who generated profit. Especially in remote work, there is variability in individual productivity. It has become essential to quantify the often-invisible productivity of each person in remote work and establish correct evaluation criteria. PM-BOX can assist in visualizing individual productivity, contributing to the upcoming work style reform of "equal pay for equal work" in personnel evaluation. *For more information about the project management system "PM-BOX," please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

One day, the top executive of the company visited Branch A as part of an audit. At Branch A, they were pressed for time in preparation to ensure there were no issues pointed out by the top executive. Just how much could the top executive see the challenges on the ground? In the traditional view of visibility (top → ground), the on-site situation and challenges within the organization are hard to discern, and it seems that the limits of visibility have been reached. From the perspective of the ground, it is understandable that when challenges are pointed out by the top, it takes time away from improvement efforts and adds pressure to regular operations. However, if on-site challenges are left unaddressed, they will accumulate, and the organization will not develop. Organizations that are evolving overcome this dilemma and become proposal-oriented organizations that improve challenges from the ground up. So, how does becoming a proposal-oriented organization change things? - The number of proposals for challenge improvement from the ground increases, leading to a more innovative organization. - By sharing know-how, time savings are achieved, and profit time accumulates. - The voices from the ground reaching the top become quicker, leading to faster decision-making by the top. *For details on the project management system "PM-BOX," please download the PDF.

In modern work styles, the balance between efficient time management and rewards is becoming increasingly important. We are moving away from the traditional idea that "the more time you spend, the more rewards you receive," and entering an era where evaluations based on the quality of work and individual productivity are required. At "PM-BOX," we are developing a function to individually calculate productivity as part of future work style reforms. This technology is patented (Patent No. 6915821). ◆ Productivity is displayed on an individual basis, with "1.00" as the standard; smaller values indicate lower efficiency, while larger values indicate higher efficiency. ◆ This function is characterized by eliminating delays or progress caused by project leaders or customer circumstances, reflecting productivity solely based on individual reasons. ◆ By utilizing productivity, it becomes possible to improve project quality management and accuracy. Benefits: By showing individual productivity (quantification), it can be used for personnel evaluations. * For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
