Amidst a declining birthrate and an aging population, manufacturing sites are being forced to operate with limited personnel.
In this environment, purchasing managers are burdened with multiple roles, including inventory management and ordering tasks, leaving them overwhelmed by daily operations.
There are many workplaces where, despite having core manufacturing tasks that should be the priority, inventory management is pushed to the back burner, causing production to grind to a halt. Even when the necessity of inventory management is understood, it is not something that can be easily systematized. At Okuyama Seisakusho, we face this reality with the concept of the 'Power of Preparation.'
A state where necessary items can be picked up without hesitation, exactly when they are needed. By creating this state, the workplace is no longer pushed around by inventory and can focus on its core manufacturing duties.
Feedback from companies currently using our service:
・The time spent on ordering tasks has been significantly reduced (e.g., from 72 hours per year to 0 hours).
・The pressure of stockouts and missed orders has been alleviated.
・Initial response times on the shop floor have improved, leading to higher productivity.
・Time has been secured for human resource development.
...and other similar feedback.
What we aim for is not merely managing inventory.
It is to transition from a workplace overwhelmed by inventory management to one where you can focus on your core work.
And to create a state where the workplace operates autonomously, people grow, and productivity increases.
Okuyama Seisakusho will continue to support the future of manufacturing sites through the 'Power of Preparation.'
