Introducing a case that achieved a savings of 550,000 yuan in annual expenditures by saving on the addition of 10 sets of equipment investment each year!
Shigen Electric Co., Ltd., which operates in a specialized industry, faces challenges due to its unique products and complex processes, along with numerous constraints that make it impossible to consider all limitations when manually creating production plans, resulting in an inability to meet the company's needs.
In response, the company decided to implement our 'Asprova' in 2009.
After the implementation, the number of planners decreased from 6-8 to 3. Additionally, by improving the production planning, the average monthly inventory was reduced by approximately 4 million yuan.
[Challenges]
- Production managers or planners typically provide estimated delivery times based on their experience with orders, resources, and purchasing lead times, but the speed is slow and accuracy is lacking.
- When unexpected changes occur, timely adjustments to plans and predictions of outcomes cannot be made.
- The accuracy of production planning is low, leading to significant fluctuations in manufacturing line loads and frequent overtime.
- The efficiency of plan creation is low, with 6-8 people involved in production planning.
- Plans lack flexibility, resulting in excessive resource allocation and waste.
