[Φ-Pilot Implementation Case] Sekisui Medical Co., Ltd.

Evolving towards precision demand and supply planning based on data!

Improving demand and supply planning backed by data and inter-departmental collaboration with Φ-Pilot 【Challenges Before Implementation】 ◼ The main tasks involved collecting and processing information from multiple Excel files and core systems. ◼ With a wide variety of low-volume products and inspection items, time spent on information gathering led to insufficient checks for stockouts. ◼ The work was left to individual staff members, resulting in stockouts and losses due to varying levels of capability. ◼ There was a need for a system to centralize information so that departments could communicate using the same data. 【Countermeasures and Implementation Effects】 ◼ Excel processing tasks were eliminated, allowing focus on demand and supply operations. ◼ Inventory and shipping statuses were clearly displayed, enabling quick decision-making and detailed inspections, significantly improving the quality of demand and supply management. ◼ Standardizing information display in Φ-Pilot allowed for consistent operations even during staff changes. ◼ Coordination with marketing and sales could now be based on concrete numbers, enhancing operational efficiency. This led to smoother adjustments for new products and responses to stockouts.
