[Case Study on Inventory Management System] Chemical Manufacturer

Stop managing with paper and Excel, reducing over 3,000 hours of work annually! Achieve enhanced quality control systems through refined first-in-first-out and expiration date management.

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of the inventory management system "SmartF" at Meihan Vacuum Industry Co., Ltd., a chemical manufacturer. The company faced challenges due to the continued operation of manually entering incoming, inventory movement, and stocktaking data into paper and Excel, which placed a significant burden on the staff. As a result of the implementation, by using handheld terminals and QR code operations, manual input was reduced to zero, saving over 3,000 hours of labor annually. [Challenges] ■ After daily incoming operations, the quantity received was manually entered into the Excel inventory management sheet. ■ Inventory movements were also manually entered into the Excel inventory management sheet, making it impossible to check the real-time inventory status on the manufacturing floor. ■ Stocktaking took a full day using shelf tags, and the subsequent stocktaking data took 5 business days to enter manually. ■ To know the accurate inventory, daily requests were made to the site to confirm the actual inventory numbers. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
