Case Study: Japan Hoist Co., Ltd.

[Case Study] Reconstructing a production management system that delivers high-quality crane systems tailored to various customer needs by the desired delivery date.

EXPLANNER/J is NEC's manufacturing management system that fully supports the entire process from order receipt to production and shipping for the manufacturing industry. Here, we introduce a case study from a customer who has actually implemented it. 【Nihon Hoist Co., Ltd.】 ■Background of Challenges - Promotion of shorter delivery times and improved quality through in-house production, and securing cost competitiveness. - Improvement of productivity through standardization and commonality of parts across a wide range of crane systems, from small to large. - Early realization of optimal designs that meet various customer needs through modeling of crane systems and standardization of parts. ■Results - Achieved hybrid management of customer specifications and standardization/commonality. Realized optimal arrangements through hybrid management of individual configuration parts (production number arrangements) tailored to customer specifications and common parts (MRP arrangements). - Early realization of optimal designs through front-loading of design work. The sales department generates base drawings from crane models, dimensions, specifications, etc., and carries out estimates, delivery confirmations, and registration of parts lists. - Understanding of progress and costs by project. The cost accumulation status can be monitored through a project ledger at any time (it has become possible to understand how much cost is incurred for each project).
