[Φ-Pilot Implementation Case] Fujifilm Revio Inc.

This is an example of promoting operational efficiency and labor-saving through the introduction of a dedicated supply and demand management system, resulting in the reduction of waste and stockouts.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the "Φ-Pilot Series" at Fujifilm Revio Co., Ltd. Creating supply and demand management materials using spreadsheet software requires an enormous amount of effort, and it has become urgent to improve operational efficiency and eliminate reliance on specific individuals. The lack of transparency in supply and demand information among the sales, planning, manufacturing, and logistics departments was a challenge, and we began considering the introduction of a "supply and demand management system that can manage inventory by expiration date and lot" to improve management accuracy, reduce labor, eliminate reliance on specific individuals, and minimize the risks of stockouts and waste. The concept of the Φ-Pilot Series, which allows for "flexible system construction by combining necessary modules," matched our needs for systematizing the complex supply and demand management operations, and the feasibility of the proposed content was the highest, leading to its selection. It now functions as an information infrastructure used by approximately 100 people in total. About six months after the system was implemented, we achieved a "50% reduction in work hours (140 hours/month saved)" and reached the "minimum stockouts/waste in the past five years." Moving forward, we will continue to promote the "advancement, efficiency, and acceleration" of operations as a "control tower for supply and demand management."
