[Consulting Case] System Design for ERP Implementation in a Chemical Plant
Contributing to the improvement of profit structure! Introducing consulting case studies.
A chemical plant planning a large-scale ERP investment consulted us about IT strategy formulation. We proposed consulting to analyze what issues exist for improving profitability and how IT can solve these problems before developing the IT strategy. We toured the entire plant to familiarize ourselves with the layout of tanks and material storage areas, and then used data to understand inventory levels by item and location based on inbound and outbound logistics and inventory duration. As a result, we identified issues with how demand (orders) were captured and how production lots were determined. We aggregated and visualized the flow of materials from raw materials to intermediates and finished products across multiple plants, set KPIs to reduce inventory (duration), and organized the business flow and data from order receipt, procurement, production, to shipping. We designed a supply chain system and structured the positioning of the ERP within a total system. [Effect] ■ Successfully implemented ERP effectively, contributing to the improvement of profitability. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
The aim is to eliminate waste in the operation system and the power system! "Balancing inventory reduction and preventing stockouts," "energy conservation," "new products and new businesses," and "developing people who are passionate about proactive reform" are challenging endeavors for many companies. The reasons hindering results are believed to be the proliferation of numerous projects targeting short-term outcomes, such as partial improvements that do not address the root issues, easy IT implementations like ERP that overlook the overall picture, balancers for rotating shafts that do not consider rotational friction resistance and eccentric centrifugal force compensation, and imitation of competitors. Our consultant, Zenjiro Imaoka, has acquired patents for technologies that suppress rotational axis wobble for energy conservation. He has solved many technical problems in mechanics and IT at an engineering company, developed management systems, and gained experience at a global consulting firm, mastering management analysis and prescriptions. Through numerous publications and consulting experiences, he has synthesized "management and mechanics" through management education in MBA and MOT. Based on MOT management education, we provide consulting for business diagnostics and strategic proposals, system design, and project support for new products and new businesses. We are available nationwide, primarily in the Kanto region, so please feel free to consult with us.
