Background
Due to the diversification of customer needs, there is a demand for a greater variety of products and shorter delivery times, and traditional manufacturing is reaching its limits. In order for the manufacturing industry to continue to thrive in these challenging conditions, it is necessary to streamline production processes and improve quality. To begin with, it is important to visualize the current situation, understand the actual circumstances, and analyze them to discover clues for solving problems.
How to Proceed With Production Process Transformation Consulting
By reevaluating the entire production process from a bird’s-eye view and eliminating “Wasteful tasks” to maximize added value (profit), we have also reduced “Incidental tasks” that only increase costs, thereby increasing the ratio of “Net tasks”. We support the realization of a robust manufacturing process. Our team members, with extensive experience in the manufacturing industry, will contribute to strengthening our customer’s manufacturing capabilities.
- Net Tasks＝Work that creates added value
- Machining
- Assembling
- Incidental Tasks＝Work that does not create added value but must be done
- Inspection
- Transportation
- Wasteful tasks＝Work that increases only the cost that creates added value
- Waiting/Set up
- Second processing
Specific Procedure
- We gain an understanding of your production site’s current state through videos and interviews, and present the issues in a numerical format.
- We eliminate waste in the process and propose an efficient manufacturing line with a smooth flow.
- In parallel with on-site improvements, we will also propose effective measures, such as implementing an automation system, for overall optimization to make the factory smarter.
