We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of the maintenance parts inventory management system "SmartF" for a food manufacturer in Nagasaki Prefecture, a non-public company. The company was facing issues as workers were transcribing inbound and outbound data and inventory data using paper and Excel, leading to errors and omissions in recording. This resulted in an inability to accurately grasp the inventory quantity and value, and during unexpected troubles, parts could not be found, causing production line stoppages. As a result of the implementation, the operation was switched to automatically recording inbound and outbound transactions and inventory using barcode scanning with handheld devices, eliminating the time spent on inputting data from paper to Excel. This allowed for an increase in inventory counts from twice a year to four times a year while significantly reducing labor hours. [Case Overview (Partial)] ■Challenges - Risk of production line stoppage due to inability to locate inventory parts ■Effects - Prevention of line stoppages through real-time inventory management, doubling the frequency of inventory counts.
