Studist Launches Full-Scale 'Business Automation Support' Service to Automate and Semi-Automate Operations

Studist Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director CEO: Satoshi Suzuki; hereinafter "Studist"), which supports the realization of lean operations, announces the full-scale launch of its hands-on support service, "Business Automation Support."

In response to challenges such as "operations not getting easier" or "limited effectiveness" even after introducing AI and RPA (Robotic Process Automation: technology for software to automatically execute routine tasks), dedicated consultants and engineers will provide end-to-end support, starting with business process standardization, through the design of new business flows, implementation in the actual environment, and operational stabilization.

Background of Official Service Launch

Amidst the widespread adoption of automation and efficiency tools like generative AI and RPA, an increasing number of companies face issues such as "proceeding with automation while original business processes remain unclear, leading to unmet expectations," "inability to replace person-dependent tasks directly with AI," and "difficulty in determining where to automate due to a lack of understanding of the overall business." In light of this situation, Studist has previously offered hands-on support based on its "9 Steps" framework for achieving lean operations. However, in recent years, there has been a growing need for consistent support that involves reorganizing and redesigning operations themselves, followed by implementing generative AI and other tools in the actual environment. In response to this demand, Studist is now officially launching its "Business Automation Support" service.

"9 Steps"

Overview of Business Automation Support

Through interviews, the Business Automation Support service lists business items and classifies each task from the perspectives of core/non-core and routine/non-routine. After formulating the optimal execution policy for internalizing, outsourcing (BPO), or automating (utilizing generative AI), we provide comprehensive support from the design of new business flows to their implementation in your company's environment.

**<Three Features of This Service>**

* **Implementation based on "Standardization"** Maximizes implementation effectiveness by optimizing business processes for automation before deployment.

* **Quick Results Generation** Small-scale starts are possible from as short as 2 months. Effects can be quickly confirmed by focusing on specific departments or tasks.

* **Hands-on Support with Internalization in Mind** Beyond mere outsourced development, we support the improvement of "organizational execution capability," enabling customers to continuously improve operations using AI themselves.

**About Business Automation Support**

Synergistic Effects Expected from Collaboration with Teachme Process

To automate operations, the starting point is to identify "which tasks can be automated."

"Teachme Process," a product launched on Friday, March 19th, which supports the visualization and management of business processes (overall business view), functions as an entry point for "pinpointing automation targets." It automatically generates business process diagrams by reading documents and interacting with AI, and classifies/organizes each step from core/non-core and automation feasibility perspectives.

By visualizing and organizing the overall business with Teachme Process, and then transitioning to the design and implementation of new business flows with Business Automation Support, companies can simultaneously address "where to automate" and "how to automate." Combining the entry point (visualization/organization) with the exit point (implementation/support) achieves more effective operational improvement.

About Lean Operations

Lean Operations, advocated by Studist, is a continuous improvement process that eliminates "muri (overburden), muda (waste), mura (inconsistency)" in operations, re-invests the surplus capacity gained from efficiency into "value enhancement," and achieves overall organizational productivity and sustainable growth. Specifically, through steps of business visualization, standardization, simplification, and thoroughness, it aims to build a lean organization and ultimately support a structure focused on core business.

In addition to the manual creation and sharing system "Teachme Biz" and other tools, Studist supports the realization of lean operations by providing hands-on services that combine business assessment, manual creation agency, and training, acting as a partner to improve customer productivity.
