[Case Study] Production Scheduler, Mitsui E&S Machinery Co., Ltd.

Utilizing IT tools to standardize craftsmanship! Achieving "visualization" and the formulation of consistent short-term, medium-term, and long-term plans.

Determining the production order to keep the equipment running non-stop has become a skill possessed only by veterans, and it was only possible to create a production plan for the next 1 to 2 months. By introducing the production scheduler 'Asprova', we have achieved the inheritance of short-term planning and the establishment of medium- to long-term planning. The planning cycle is once a week, and the speed of rescheduling is about 5 minutes, allowing us to utilize it without feeling frustrated. Additionally, by standardizing process information, we have been able to prevent omissions in processes and implement alarm displays for violations between processes, shifting towards a more reliable plan. [Challenges] ■ It was only possible to create a production plan for the next 1 to 2 months. ■ For the third month and beyond, it was more about understanding the workload than actual planning. ■ There were many instances where we relied on the intuition of veterans to meet deadlines for outsourced work or respond to inquiries from sales. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
