Semi-automating the allocation and shipping adjustment tasks for weekly orders based on expiration dates of fresh imported goods, significantly improving efficiency.
We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "Φ-Conductor" at a major general retail product procurement company. "We have established an order and allocation system capable of handling all fresh imported products (raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products in agriculture, livestock, fisheries, and floriculture)." 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - The fresh imported goods division handles agricultural, livestock, and fishery products, and due to the differing inventory management and allocation methods for each product, operations have become complex, relying on Excel and fax. - With Excel management as the primary method and information exchange via fax, human errors frequently occurred, and the volume of paper output was significant. - When seasonal demand temporarily increased the workload, additional personnel were hired to cope. ■Implementation Effects ● The new system allows for optimal allocation simulations based on the situation, significantly improving work efficiency by enabling a consistent process up to the confirmation of shipping instructions. ● The reallocation of inventory and shipping adjustment tasks have been semi-automated through a scheduling simulation function. ● By web-enabling requests to related companies, we achieved a paperless environment. ● Even during busy periods or when transactions increased, we were able to manage with the current staff. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
■ Key Points of the Case The new system has enabled flexible handling of product attributes (agriculture, livestock, fisheries, and floriculture), including the handling of variable weights in livestock and the processing of multiple items in floriculture, which has led to the realization of a unified system for sales logistics. ● For weekly orders, bulk inventory allocation is executed by the system. The system automatically determines expiration dates, delivery tolerance days by customer, and prohibits reverse shipping. ● In case of inventory shortages, a simulation function with various allocation rules supports rapid adjustments. ● Allocation rules include: weighted by day of the week, store priority, proportional allocation, and priority allocation, etc. ● Shipping requests and delivery requests are processed using a web interface disclosed to each business partner. ● The system also accommodates variable weights in livestock and combinations and processing in floriculture.
