[Consulting Case] Support for Production Innovation Project at a Major Automotive Parts Manufacturer

Not only cost reduction but also focusing on inventory, achieving results through production innovation! Introducing consulting case studies.

The production management and IT departments at the headquarters are attempting to implement external ERP and strategic methods from the top down, while on-site there is a sense of discomfort, and the necessity for a common understanding of company-wide production innovation has been increasing. In response, we conducted a seminar on supply chain management, which is a methodology for improving profit structure, for the internal project members. In the project meetings, not only the factory side but also the production management department, logistics, sales, accounting, and IT departments from the headquarters participated, identifying current issues and proposing a problem structure from a holistic perspective. It became clear that reducing inventory through small-lot production generates profits for the factory, leading to a review of KPIs and a shift to smaller lot size production. **Case Study** ■ Solutions - Conduct a seminar on supply chain management - Involve not just the factory side but also the production management department, logistics, sales, accounting, and IT departments from the headquarters to identify current issues and propose a problem structure from a holistic perspective - Review KPIs and shift to smaller lot size production ■ Effects - Not only cost reduction but also improved performance through production focused on inventory *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
