We will assist you in improving your company's operational efficiency!
The operational status of production lines and production equipment is a daily concern for manufacturing companies, and I believe that activities to maintain and improve their operational rates are always being carried out. Therefore, support and guidance related to the approach and execution of activities aimed at improving operational rates will be the subject of consulting. (For reference, there is a term called "availability" in relation to operational rates, so I will briefly explain the difference. Operational rate refers to the ratio of hours spent producing goods with the equipment during a standard day, while availability refers to the ratio of the equipment being in a state to operate normally when desired. The operational rate can vary depending on sales, meaning it does not always have to be 100%, and it can sometimes exceed 100%, whereas availability always aims for 100%. In any case, improvement activities to enhance equipment productivity are important, and here it is explained as activities to improve operational rates.)

basic information
The operating rate is generally calculated as (the amount actually produced) / (the amount that can normally be produced (production capacity)). Factors that hinder the operating rate typically include the following worsening factors, and analyzing and improving these factors in detail will lead to activities aimed at improving the operating rate. 【Factors that worsen the operating rate】 1. Breakdown loss (major stoppage); deterioration of the operating rate due to equipment failure 2. Minor stoppage; deterioration of the operating rate due to minor troubles with equipment, such as parts getting jammed 3. Setup change; deterioration of the operating rate due to switching between different products 4. Startup loss; deterioration of the operating rate due to time loss when starting up equipment 5. Speed reduction loss; deterioration of the operating rate due to a decrease in the operating speed of equipment or the work speed of operators 6. Defect loss; deterioration of the operating rate due to the occurrence of defective products or issues with parts 7. Parts loss; deterioration of the operating rate due to necessary parts not arriving as scheduled (logistics troubles, etc.) 8. Bottleneck process loss; deterioration of the operating rate affected by bottleneck processes, such as waiting for the previous process to finish

Applications/Examples of results
We can provide support based on the fundamental principle of identifying the optimal direction for activities as a company, drawing on our experience and achievements in improving the operating rates of various equipment and lines in large and small to medium-sized enterprises.
Company information
For manufacturing companies, the preparation of tools for production (jigs, molds, manufacturing equipment), the construction of line configuration and layout, and the creation of PFMEA and QC process charts to maintain product quality are fundamental to manufacturing and hold an important position. In this business, we focus on consulting in production technology, directly linked to the production site, particularly targeting small and medium-sized manufacturing companies, and we aim to support the growth of these enterprises. We will adjust the consulting targets based on the confirmation of customer needs.
