Tohoku TKR Co., Ltd. is engaged in various activities to meet customer needs and further enhance competitiveness. One of these activities is the establishment of a standard system to standardize and streamline routine operations, as well as to provide the required information accurately and quickly. In this context, 'Asprova' was introduced as a complement to the production management system, aiming for centralized management of work progress from the receipt of materials to the completion of products. Currently, whenever there are changes in the material supply schedule or delivery instructions from customers, re-planning and adjustments based on production results are carried out. This is followed by adjustments of standard information through reviews by department heads and responsible personnel, which are then reflected in the work progress and workload tracking. [Purpose of Implementation] - Achieve centralized management of work progress from the receipt of materials to in-house completion. - Optimize the management system and speed up decision-making. - Realize information visualization to ensure a common understanding among all employees. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At Sanko Co., Ltd. Toyota Factory, many decisions are left to the discretion of the responsible personnel, resulting in production management tasks becoming overly dependent on individuals. This has led to anxiety on the shop floor due to a lack of visibility into schedules, and a fear of work stoppages has caused frequent unnecessary arrangements and excess inventory. In response, we introduced "Asprova," achieving labor-saving and standardization of management tasks. Additionally, this has resulted in significant effects, such as a substantial reduction in inventory. [Customer Requests] ■ Eliminate tasks that have become dependent on individuals and reduce the enormous man-hours required for labor-intensive strategies, aiming for "visualization" of management. ■ Due to the large fluctuations in production, we want to accurately grasp inventory at all times. ■ We want to break away from labor-intensive strategies in conducting physical inventory. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

At Guasei Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Nara Factory, the factory's operational plans were previously created manually. However, this manual planning took a lot of time, leading to the consideration of a method for realizing "short-term scheduling." To solve this issue, they implemented 'Asprova.' After the system was introduced, rescheduling is executed every morning. The time required for scheduling is only 5 minutes, achieving flexible planning and improved efficiency for workers. **Main Effects of Implementation** - Visualization - Inventory reduction - Increased efficiency in planning - Shortened planning cycle - Sharing of process information *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Urawa Manufacturing Co., Ltd. primarily operates on a made-to-order basis, so the planning personnel spend a significant amount of time coordinating details with customers over the phone late into the night. Additionally, if the person in charge falls ill and takes a break, there are many aspects that are not visible to others, which poses a challenge. To reduce planning workload and achieve "visualization" of each process, we introduced 'Asprova.' As a result, the time required for material ordering planning was significantly reduced, and it became possible to anticipate delivery delays. The establishment of a warehouse management system also enabled the visualization of inventory.

In the Asprova Solution Seminar, we will introduce a series of Solver options aimed at achieving advanced automation in production scheduling. This time, the theme is "scheduling to minimize inventory without stockouts," which is a demand from many manufacturing industries. In the manufacturing sector that makes up the supply chain, experiencing "stockouts" can lead to being forced out of the market, while "excess inventory" puts pressure on management. In this narrow space, companies must respond immediately to fluctuations in demand from preliminary indications to final confirmations in order to survive. In this seminar, we will focus on the "inventory," which can be problematic whether it is too much or too little, and introduce scheduling methods that avoid both stockouts and excess inventory. [Event Overview] ■ Date: Thursday, May 26, 2022, 16:00-17:15 ■ Format: Online seminar via Zoom ■ Participation Fee: Free (pre-registration required) ■ Capacity: 20 participants *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to apply through the link below.

The manufacturing industry is facing various challenges that require solutions, such as intense corporate competition, globalization, high quality at low cost, diverse product lines with small lots, and quick delivery times, all in response to changing market and customer demands. Due to this background, manufacturing sites have become more complex, making it difficult to identify "waste" in the forms of "waiting for processes," "waiting for materials," "waiting for people," "setup," and "minor stops." By automatically collecting accurate equipment operation information from complex manufacturing sites, it becomes easier to conduct cause analysis, find clear solutions, and link to continuous improvement activities. 【Implementation Effects】 ■ Creating plans with Asprova makes it easier to cycle through the P-D-C-A process. ■ Understanding trends in minor stops allows for preventive measures against major stops, preventing declines in productivity. ■ The wireless connection between equipment and receivers allows for layout changes. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
