Realization of cost reduction
Meeting the delivery deadlines while reducing costs is a matter of course that any company must do.
In the manufacturing industry, it is extremely important to meet the delivery deadlines and deliver speedy and accurately. For that purpose, it is essential that manufacturing department cooperates with sales, management, and purchasing departments, and also communicates with cooperating companies.
Smoothing the “flow of information and materials” of related departments and cooperating companies will lead to on-time delivery and eventually reduce costs.
Stable quality
Delivery deadlines and quality are completely different matters, and it is not a matter of thinking which should be prioritized.
It is a matter of course for the manufacturing industry to produce 100% non-defective products, and there is an obligation to deliver 100% non-defective products to customers on time.
In order to do so, it is necessary to proceed with production activities based on the concept of “following process is your customer” and “making quality in the process”.
Just-in-time
If you meet the customer’s delivery deadlines with a lot of inventory, it will lead to higher costs.
It is important for each process to manufacture without stagnation based on the idea of Just-in-time, “what you need, when you need it, as much as necessary”.
Just-in-time enables us to quickly respond to diversified customer needs and reduce inventory costs. It is also effective in the distribution industry such as supermarket.

3 reasons why we are chosen REASON
REASON 1
Improvement experience of
more than 1,500 companies in 40 countries
There must be the shop floor issues that cannot be solved by your own company alone. Improvements and reforms for manufacturing industry to survive, regardless of country or industry, need development of your human resources through practical experiences of improvement, and strengthening of your production system base.
REASON 2
Consulting that shop floor workers
acknowledge our superiority and be pleased
In conventional consulting styles, there was a distance between consultant and the shop floor because it was promoted mainly consultant and management executives. Our consultant can provide a guidance without a distance between consultant and the shop floor through the guidance based on the "seeds of improvement" in a concrete way, instead of "finding fault" like a critic.
REASON 3
Continuous improvement will continue
even after the end of guidance
While strengthening "human resource development", we focus on the "overall flow" from design to purchasing, manufacturing, logistics, and production control, and provide guidance that matches the actual situation of your company. Continuous improvement will continue even after the end of guidance through the guidance that is acceptable to the shop floor workers.
