At Denka Co., Ltd. Oofuna Plant, material ordering relied on the experience and intuition of veteran staff, and with the replacement of the responsible personnel by a new employee, ad-hoc ordering practices became more pronounced. To achieve uniform scheduling and material ordering that anyone could manage, we implemented 'Asprova.' This system offers flexibility in the products themselves, and by tuning the parameters, we were able to achieve scheduling that meets specific needs.

T&K TOKA Co., Ltd. was creating weekly production plans in a manner close to manual work by the person in charge. As a result, it took a long time to calculate, accuracy was poor, and due to a sudden increase in production volume, there were instances where the inventory of raw materials and ink cans became insufficient, or production could not keep up. In implementing the ERP system, a comprehensive review of the production management system was conducted. 'Asprova' was introduced. As a result, the use of the system significantly reduced reliance on individuals, and even when unexpected issues arose, it became possible to quickly change the production schedule. [Main Effects of Implementation] ■ Standardization of plan creation ■ Increased efficiency in plan creation ■ Rapid response to plan changes ■ Optimization of raw material procurement *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Tohoku TKR Co., Ltd. is engaged in various activities to meet customer needs and further enhance competitiveness. One of these activities is the establishment of a standard system for the standardization and labor-saving of routine tasks, as well as providing required information accurately and quickly. In this context, we have introduced 'Asprova' to achieve centralized management of work progress from the receipt of materials to the completion of products, complementing our production management system. Currently, whenever there are changes in the material supply schedule or delivery instructions from customers, we implement re-planning and adjustments based on production results. This involves adjustments to standard information through reviews by department heads and responsible personnel, which are then reflected in the work progress and workload tracking. [Purpose of Implementation] - Achieve centralized management of work progress from the receipt of materials to in-house completion - Optimize the management system and speed up decision-making - Realize information visualization to establish a common understanding among all employees *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At Sanko Co., Ltd. Toyota Plant, many decisions were left to the discretion of the responsible personnel, resulting in production management tasks becoming highly dependent on individuals. On-site, there was anxiety due to the lack of visibility into schedules, and the fear of work stoppages led to frequent unnecessary arrangements and excess inventory. In response, we introduced "Asprova," achieving labor-saving and standardization of management tasks. Additionally, this has resulted in significant effects, such as a substantial reduction in inventory. [Customer Requests] ■ Eliminate tasks that were dependent on individuals and reduce the enormous man-hours required for labor-intensive strategies, aiming for "visualization" of management. ■ Due to the large fluctuations in production, we want to always have an accurate grasp of inventory. ■ We want to move away from labor-intensive strategies in conducting physical inventory checks. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In the Asprova Solution Seminar, we will introduce a series of Solver options aimed at achieving advanced automation in production scheduling. This time, the theme is "scheduling to minimize inventory without stockouts," which is a demand from many manufacturing industries. In the manufacturing sector that makes up the supply chain, experiencing "stockouts" can lead to being forced out of the market, while "excess inventory" puts pressure on management. In this narrow space, companies must respond promptly to demand fluctuations from tentative to confirmed in order to survive. In this seminar, we will focus on the "inventory," which can be problematic whether it is too much or too little, and introduce scheduling methods that avoid both stockouts and excess inventory. 【Event Overview】 ■ Date: Thursday, May 26, 2022, 16:00-17:15 ■ Format: Online seminar via Zoom ■ Participation Fee: Free (pre-registration required) ■ Capacity: 20 participants *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to apply through the link below.
