[Consulting Case] System Design for ERP Implementation in a Chemical Plant
Contributing to the improvement of profit structure! Introducing consulting case studies.
A chemical plant planning a large-scale ERP investment consulted us about IT strategy formulation. Before discussing the IT strategy, we proposed consulting to analyze what issues exist for improving profitability and how IT can solve those problems. We visited all the factories, familiarized ourselves with the layout of tanks and material storage areas, and then used data to understand inventory by item and location based on inbound and outbound quantities and inventory levels. As a result, we identified issues with how demand (orders) were taken and how production lots were determined. We aggregated and visualized the flow of materials from raw materials to intermediate goods and finished products across multiple factories, set KPIs to reduce inventory (holding time), and organized the business flow and data from order receipt, procurement, production, to shipping. We designed a supply chain system and positioned the ERP within a comprehensive system. [Effect] ■ Successfully implemented ERP effectively, contributing to the improvement of profitability. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
The goal is to eliminate waste in the operational system and the power system! Achieving both "inventory reduction and prevention of stockouts," "energy conservation," "new products and new businesses," and "developing people who are passionate about proactive reform" is a challenging endeavor for many companies. The reasons hindering results are believed to be primarily due to partial improvements that do not address the root problems, such as symptomatic treatments that overlook the whole picture, the easy introduction of IT like ERP, balancers for rotating shafts that do not consider rotational friction resistance and eccentric centrifugal force compensation, and the proliferation of numerous projects aiming for short-term results, such as mimicking competitors. Our consultant, Zenjiro Nimaoka, has acquired patents for technologies that suppress rotational shaft imbalance, solved many technical issues in mechanics and IT at an engineering company, developed management systems, and gained experience at a global consulting firm, mastering management analysis and prescriptions. Through numerous publications and consulting experiences, he has synthesized "management and mechanics" through management education in MBA and MOT. Based on MOT management education, we provide consulting for business diagnostics and strategic proposals, system design, and project support for new products and new businesses. We can respond nationwide, primarily in the Kanto region, so please feel free to consult with us.
