From now on, we will consider reducing the number of personnel for inventory work! Introduction of examples where the efficiency of warehouse inventory operations has been improved.

We would like to introduce a case study of our proposed approach to problem-solving. Company C was experiencing discrepancies in inventory counts during their stocktaking, which occurred 3 to 4 times a year, leading to time-consuming processes. [Challenge] During stocktaking 3 to 4 times a year, the counts did not match each time, resulting in lengthy operations. [Approach] We provided guidance for two months on establishing business flows, as well as thorough management of Company C's inbound and outbound data and daily numerical management within the warehouse management company. [Results] <Number of workers: 4-5, Annual stocktaking: 3-4 times> Discrepancies per stocktaking: 10-20 items → 0 items Time taken for each stocktaking: 2-3 hours → reduced to 1 hour → Improvements were achieved without the introduction of a new system, solely through rigorous management. *For more details, please refer to our company brochure PDF or feel free to contact us.

From fixed costs to variable costs! A case where a new delivery route was established through the construction of a delivery network.

We would like to introduce a case study of our proposed approach to problem-solving. Company A faced the challenge of increased delivery costs due to a sudden change in management conditions caused by a decrease in sales from the Lehman Shock, and there were limits to cost reduction with existing transportation companies. Therefore, we proposed initiatives such as developing new delivery routes, innovating delivery packaging, and downsizing vehicles. As a result, we achieved our goals while maintaining the previous level of service. [Challenges] ■ Increased delivery costs due to sudden changes in management conditions (decrease in sales from the Lehman Shock) ■ Limits to cost reduction with existing transportation companies *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This year's IT Implementation Subsidy has seen a significant decrease in the acceptance rate compared to previous years. Many companies are struggling with the situation of having wanted to implement IT tools but being rejected. In this seminar, we will explain why the acceptance rate has dropped, the background behind it, and the key points for being accepted. Additionally, we will introduce our initiatives that have achieved a 100% acceptance rate so far this year and the reasons why our production management system "TED," registered as an IT tool, is chosen.

Please choose your preferred method of participation according to your convenience. If you are currently considering applying for the IT Implementation Subsidy or are interested in production management, we encourage you to join us. We sincerely look forward to your application.
