Improve complicated outsourcing arrangements and supply management! Production management for metal processing JWE

basic information

【We solve the following issues】 ■ There is a lot of effort involved in placing orders and confirming delivery dates with external vendors (via phone or fax). ■ Managing materials provided to external vendors (paid or unpaid) is complex and prone to errors. ■ The progress of outsourced processes has become a black box, delaying the discovery of delivery delays. ■ We feel the limitations of using Excel for procurement and supply management. ■ We want to centrally manage a complex production process that mixes in-house and outsourced processes. 【Powerful features to support outsourcing and supply management】 ■ We integrate with external web purchasing systems to digitize everything from request for quotes to order backlog management and delivery date responses online. ■ We accurately allocate and manage materials (paid or unpaid) that arise during outsourcing arrangements, such as surface treatment and special processing, within the system. ■ The work monitor feature displays the order status and delivery (acceptance) status for each external vendor (arrangement) in a list, making delays easy to identify at a glance. ■ Without increasing item codes, we can manage detailed arrangements and inventory for each process, such as cutting, outsourcing processing, and assembly. * The system can be flexibly built to suit your company's operations in addition to standard package functions. * For more details, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us.

Applications/Examples of results

【Main Uses and Application Scenarios】 ■ Management of Multi-Process Outsourcing: Centralized management of complex arrangements and delivery times across multiple factories, from machining to surface treatment, using the "Work Monitor." ■ Accurate Inventory and Shipment Management of Supplied Materials: Precisely allocate supplied materials (paid and unpaid) to outsourcing partners, preventing production stoppages due to stockouts or missed arrangements. ■ Paperless Operations through WEB Purchasing System Integration: Collaborate with external systems to complete the entire process from quotation requests to orders and delivery confirmations online, reducing the need for phone and fax confirmations. ■ Inventory Management of "Items + Processes": Manage inventory for the same parts by process (e.g., after cutting), preventing the expansion of item master data. 【Examples of Implementation Results and Effects】 ■ Machinery Parts Manufacturing Company: Integrated previously fragmented systems. Centralized management from quotations to arrangement information, preventing missed part arrangements. Successfully reduced procurement costs by improving inventory accuracy. ■ Assembly Processing Industry (Conveyor Equipment Manufacturing): Expanded the scope of systemization for complex part configurations. Achieved accurate inventory allocation by order, significantly reducing the workload and management effort for purchasing and procurement departments.

Detailed information

• 

  This is a "hybrid" production management system that responds to sites where orders, forecasts, and semi-forecasts are mixed. It allows for centralized management from production to sales, inventory, and cost. For the unique aspects of the metal processing industry, such as "multi-process outsourcing arrangements" and "material supply," it addresses these with "item + process" management that does not increase item codes and integration with external web purchasing systems, preventing order omissions and delivery delays. It achieves optimal operations through flexible integration with other systems and support from specialized consultants from implementation to establishment.

• 

  We have adopted a screen layout that allows for intuitive operations similar to Excel, enhancing functionality to ensure smooth adoption even in workplaces unfamiliar with the system. Companies in the metal processing industry, which deal with complex management such as outsourcing arrangements across multiple partner factories and the provision of paid and unpaid materials, as well as those that frequently change parts configurations (BOM) due to sudden specification changes, have highly praised us, stating that "the confusion in operations has disappeared, and the management burden has been significantly reduced."

  We not only sell systems but also support you in a collaborative manner by listening to the current situation regarding the often complex outsourcing arrangements and management of supplied items, from identifying issues to proposing solutions. We organize interactions with different outsourcing partners and internal rules unique to each company, and propose the construction of an optimal business flow that utilizes standard functions to prevent excessive system customization. This helps to avoid confusion on-site due to system implementation and ensures a reliable establishment.
