■Challenges Before Implementation There was a tendency for issues to be treated as transient problems that ended at that moment. In terms of defect management, we were doing the bare minimum, such as taking photos with a digital camera and creating reports on a PC, but there was no one to review them, and they were not being utilized effectively. 【Issues】 - Taking photos of defects with a digital camera, then returning to the office to boot up the PC, import the photos, and open Excel... it was a waste of time. - Unable to find where the files recording defects were stored. - There were instances where data registered for defects was lost. ■Purpose of Implementation - We wanted to properly database past defect data and manage it on the cloud rather than on our company PCs. - Since it takes time just to boot up a PC, we believed that in this day and age, we should utilize smartphones for everything. ■Deciding Factor for Implementation After trying out Shimatter at a trade show, my first impression was that it was simple!! I thought this would be easy for the field members to use, which was the deciding factor. A system used in the field should be as simple and intuitive as possible. If we want to do data analysis or similar tasks, we can download the data and manipulate it later as needed.

■Challenges Before Implementation When issues occurred, immediate measures were taken, but over time they were forgotten, leading to many cases of recurrence. For issue management, we had been circulating printed documents for high-priority issues, but for others, we were only recording them in Excel. [Challenges] - Simply recording in Excel made it impossible to search, rendering it ineffective. - As the number of cases increased, we felt that managing them in Excel was insufficient. ■Background of Implementation Initially, we introduced Shimatter as a tool for the Quality Assurance Department to record "what issues occurred and what measures were taken" to avoid forgetting them. Now, it is being used company-wide by the manufacturing department, sales department, and leaders from each factory. Shimatter is a smartphone app that allows easy access to issue information, making it convenient to reference while conversing with customers outside. Additionally, it is used to prompt other departments to take measures regarding issues detected in our own department. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
