Improvement of loading for parts transportation using the TP box loading improvement system.

The TP Box Loading Improvement System is a system (algorithm) designed to maximize the loading efficiency of pallet transport for products utilizing TP boxes. The TP boxes have standard-sized blocks on the bottom, and by combining the interlocking parts of these blocks, different sizes of TP boxes can be loaded onto a pallet. However, combining TP boxes of different sizes to enhance the loading efficiency onto a pallet has been very challenging and could only be handled by skilled workers. The newly developed TP Box Loading Improvement System enables inexperienced individuals to achieve a high level of loading efficiency by allowing for multi-layer stacking on pallets by leveling the top layer and improving workability by consolidating containers of the same size.

It is possible to develop special loading conditions as a dedicated algorithm.

In building material manufacturers, heavy building materials are loaded onto trucks after creating a load plan, taking safety and workability into consideration. Before the introduction of the Vanning Master, multiple office employees planned using Excel (including the creation of work diagrams) while considering constraints related to safety, workability, and unloading. By developing a unique algorithm that takes into account constraints related to loading, we have successfully significantly reduced these administrative tasks. The optimization of space utilization through the algorithm generally aims to increase the loading (filling) rate as the primary objective. Prioritizing workability makes the evaluation criteria for the results of the algorithm ambiguous, which made the development difficulty very high. The development of the algorithm for building material manufacturers was made possible by our consultants, who understood the field and conducted detailed interviews to clarify the operational rules and metrics involved in the work.

Determination of the dimensions of the packaging box for the new product" "Development of pallet stacking patterns

"Palette Master" is a system that proposes the most efficient way to load pallets. It is a convenient optimization tool useful for single-item loading, such as "wanting to switch to T11 type pallets," "deciding the dimensions of new product packaging boxes," and "warehouse transfer." "Palette Master" is dedicated pallet loading software. It is not a plugin for Vanning Master. Since customization is necessary to fit the logistics site conditions, we will submit a quotation after hearing about the situation. ■ Implementation Effects 1) Instantly simulates based on pallet size and product size, displaying multiple optimal loading patterns. You can choose loading patterns suitable for storage and transportation purposes. 2) With Palette Master, centralized management of information regarding loading across various departments is possible from the development of new containers. - It allows consideration of optimal loading during the container development stage. - Centralizing the database makes information sharing easier. - Authority management is implemented by dividing general users, administrators, and viewers.

Fare reduction, automatic selection of packaging boxes, work efficiency improvement.

■Do you have any of these concerns? 1) The variety of exterior box types makes selecting the appropriate box a challenge that directly affects shipping costs. 2) There is a discrepancy in box selection accuracy between experienced and new staff, causing shipping personnel to struggle with box selection and feel stressed. 3) The number of boxes cannot be determined until packing is attempted, making it impossible to prepare boxes and shipping labels in advance. These concerns can be resolved with the introduction of the Vanning Master Box Packing BOX Engine. ■Benefits of Implementation 1) Automatically suggests the smallest cardboard box that fits the three dimensions of the shipping items, aiming to reduce shipping costs. 2) By integrating with the inventory management system and printing box information on shipping instructions such as picking lists, the worries about box selection are eliminated. 3) Knowing the number of boxes at the shipping planning stage allows for box preparation, packing details, shipping labels, and delivery slips to be issued at the order stage. 4) Shipping cost calculations can be done at the order stage. 5) It becomes easier to consider reducing the variety of cardboard types or introducing new ones.

【Key Points of This Seminar】 - What is "push-type"? The true nature of common waste in the workplace - Basic principles of pull production and steps for on-site implementation - The concept of "downstream pull" to reduce work-in-progress and inventory - Case studies of companies that have made improvements - Specific methods for establishing a small start 【Target Audience: Improvement leaders and management】 - Those who feel there is too much "overproduction," "bottlenecks," and "wasteful movements" in the workplace - Those struggling with the gap between production planning and actual work - Those looking for ways to sustain improvement activities - Those who want to know practical methods for implementing TPS (Toyota Production System) ~ Visualizing waste to achieve "just enough, when needed" ~ "Is your workplace being 'pushed'?" In the workplace, issues such as "produced but not used" and "work-in-progress overflowing and halting flow" are common. Many of these problems may stem from push-type production, where items are made "just in case" rather than "because they are needed." A chain moves easily when "pulled," but what happens when it is "pushed"? ── This is precisely the difference between push and pull. We will teach you the system of production that "does not overproduce and does not stagnate" based on the concept of "pull production."

**Seminar Points** Improvement means changing standards for the better. There can be no improvement where there are no standards. If there are no standards, start by creating them. Standards are "rules." What to decide are "procedures," "methods," and "timing." This seminar is focused on determining "procedures" and creating "work instruction documents." **"Without standards, there is no improvement" — Learning from Toyota's teachings on documentation in the workplace** The source of Toyota's strength lies in the concepts of "improvement" and "standardization." At the core of this is a culture of making insights and skills visible in the workplace and documenting them. In other words, it is a system of knowledge transfer through documentation. Relying on the experience and intuition of veterans can be a strength in the workplace, but it also carries the risk that quality may change when people change. By ensuring that everyone performs tasks in the same way, we can achieve the same quality products (good products) in the same amount of time. First and foremost, the development of "work instruction documents" is essential. When presenting work instruction documents in video format, it is also a prerequisite that this "foundational document" is well established. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

The "Team Cohesion and Team Strength Development Seminar" is an online seminar that provides techniques for demonstrating leadership that drives members and achieves results as a team. "Become a Leader Who Unites the Team from an Excellent Player" The cornerstone of the workplace is the leadership class, such as supervisors and team leaders. It is crucial for these individuals, who know the front lines, to demonstrate leadership that drives the work and leads the members. No matter how excellent a player is, if they work alone, they will only ever be as strong as one horsepower. It’s about demonstrating strength as a team! In other words, it’s about moving people… and that requires a deep understanding of others and the ability to respond. I believe that the most important aspects are the perspective and execution needed to involve those around you, align the vectors, and propel the team forward. [What You Will Learn] ■ Delegating Work ⇒ The key points and tips for confidently delegating work instead of taking it all on yourself. ■ The Four Windows of Interpersonal Relationships ⇒ How to deeply understand yourself and help others recognize you better. ■ Mentoring Skills for Junior Colleagues ⇒ Analyzing the guidance necessary for the "Hō-Ren-Sō" (reporting, communicating, and consulting) to function through short case studies. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.
