We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of our "Benri Net" at Kameda General Hospital, a medical institution. At the hospital, they received individual requests for office supplies from about 150 departments within the facility and conducted centralized purchasing. However, due to the limited number of staff, reducing the burden of this task became a challenge. After the implementation, most processes became automated, significantly reducing the workload for the procurement department. [Challenges] - The need to reduce the burden of tasks due to the limited number of staff - A series of tasks was inefficient - Invoices and delivery slips were also manually entered, which could lead to mistakes and errors *For more details about the case study, please refer to the related links.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of our "Benri Net" at Taiyo Pharmatech Co., Ltd.
