The second installment of the production management system introduction manga is complete!

Shinshu Taro's Factory Reform - The Dawn of Zukudase - This is the second installment of the manga about the struggles of "Zukudase Manufacturing," which decided to implement a production management system.

This document features a story about the introduction of a production management system. It is the second installment that depicts the subsequent developments of "Zukudase Manufacturing," which completed the selection of a production management system in the first installment. We introduce the flow of implementation, including Fit & Gap analysis and whether customization is needed before operation. It is explained in an easy-to-understand manga format, making it a reference-friendly book. We encourage you to read it.

i-PROW offers attractive customization flexibility and contributes to improving awareness of delivery deadlines.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the production management system "i-PROW" at Kyowa Seiko Co., Ltd. Before the introduction of i-PROW, there was a system in place for parts processing, but it seems that utilizing the information from the system was not being done effectively. After the implementation, the way internal notifications were handled changed. 【Case Overview】 ■ Before Implementation - As of 2014, planning was done manually, and input tasks took more than half a day. ■ After Implementation - By simply inputting internal notification information, it is reflected in the system, allowing for planning and seamless work instructions.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
