Improvement Case 4: A case of improving display shelves that reduced exhibition setup labor by 55%.

A case study that achieved a reduction in labor hours for exhibition setup and improved reproducibility.

◆Examples of Standardization of Operations and Reduction of Man-Hours 【Background of Improvement】 At exhibitions and direct sales events, it is necessary to complete the preparation for displays within a limited time for setup. However, conventional display shelves had the following issues: • Long assembly time • Different component positions each time • Multiple tools required • Inconsistent appearance quality • Shelves coming apart when handling displayed items 【Development Requirements】 ✔ Compact storage ✔ Tool-free assembly ✔ Standardization of parts ✔ Ensuring display strength ✔ Improving appearance quality ✔ Enhancing reproducibility 【Analysis of Improvement】 Cause 1: Different fixing methods for each part ⇒ Complicated assembly work Cause 2: No positioning mechanism ⇒ Variability in assembly accuracy each time Cause 3: Use of tape or suction cups for temporary fixing materials ⇒ Decreased appearance ⇒ Lower display quality 【Content of Improvement】 Improvement 1: Adopted a shelf reinforcement structure using aluminum L angles Improvement 2: Implemented dimensional design that includes positioning functions Improvement 3: Unified all fixing parts to a quick pin method (red circle in the image) Improvement 4: Added side display space to increase display capacity 【Effects of Improvement】 ✔ 55% reduction in assembly time ✔ No tools required ✔ Standardization of parts ✔ Improved assembly reproducibility
