???items/month
With small quantities of many different products, the number of different products manufactured can reach 500 per month.
The average monthly production volume is about 3 million units, including the Japanese and Vietnamese factories.

How is it used?
Based on the production plan received from the core system, a BOM is expanded for the components of each product.
The required quantity of components for each product is calculated. <BOM expansion>
That number is then used to allocate inventory and calculate how many of each part are in short supply.
Calculations are made once a day for up to five months in advance, and adjustments are made.

Reason for introduction
Delivery deadline compliance rate was nearly 100%, but 60% of the production plan had changed, so the leader was busy checking parts inventory and making adjustments on-site every day.
“Before introducing Asprova, we could only see the stock surplus or shortage of parts one level below the product.
With Asprova, we can see all the way down to the lowest level and even see when they will arrive. It has completely changed things.”
???60%????????

???????????????????????
The reasons for the change 60% of schedule
– request from sales to change the delivery date
– problems with processing machines and molds
– procurement delays, so each site prioritized what they could do, which led to poor coordination between processes, an increase in work in progress, and increased overtime.

The effect of the introduction
The parts allocation work was previously done manually, now can be done easily, quickly, and with high accuracy.
As a result, we were able to keep changes to the production plan to 10%.
We were able to eliminate variations and waste in parts manufacturing and procurement that were caused by individual experience and intuition.
We can now take swift action to procure missing parts (in-house production or purchasing).

Excess inventory of parts and work-in-progress parts was also eliminated, leading to a reduction in management costs and storage space.
At the Vietnam factory, employees were very pleased to be able to use the freed up space as a break area.

In the future, I’m looking forward to Asprova’s Solver option.
