[KG ZAICO Case Study] Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd.

Eliminate dependency through inventory visualization! We are currently offering materials that explain the initiatives and key points for the practice and success of on-site DX (digital transformation).

We would like to introduce a case study of the inventory management service "KG ZAICO" implemented at Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. aimed at preventing excess inventory and reducing costs. Previously, inventory management for heavy machinery parts was conducted using Excel, and the number of part types had increased by about 20% compared to five years ago, with the inventory value rising by approximately 50%. After implementation, inventory processing is conducted upon delivery of ordered parts, and inventory is processed when parts are used for maintenance, allowing for real-time confirmation of current inventory levels. [Challenges] ■ Inventory fluctuations could not be precisely managed between stocktakes. ■ Inventory management had become dependent on specific operators, making it difficult for others to understand the status of part inventory. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
