AJS Launches 'Business Process Transformation Solution' to Guide Overall Optimization through Business Data Analysis

AJS Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Hosokawa, hereafter: AJS) of the TIS Intec Group announces the launch of its "Business Process Transformation Solution" starting April 2, 2026, to support company-wide business improvement aimed at achieving corporate business goals. The "Business Process Transformation Solution" is a service that combines the objective visualization of business processes based on operational data with analysis linked to business goals. Using AJS's proprietary framework, it realizes cross-departmental issue identification and continuous process improvement.

Individual improvements by departments have hindered overall optimization. In many workplaces, initiatives proceed without clear priorities for improvement or return on investment, making radical reform towards achieving original business goals an urgent issue. AJS was established as the information system subsidiary of the Asahi Kasei Group and has strengths in support that balances an understanding of field operations and system knowledge, from manufacturing floors to business management. The business improvement approach for diverse processes such as procurement, production, and sales in the manufacturing industry can be applied to all industries where cross-departmental coordination is complex, such as distribution, trading companies, and service industries. Therefore, AJS developed the "Business Process Transformation Solution" to help companies objectively and quantitatively determine areas for improvement by combining its proprietary framework, where business goals and business processes are linked, with analysis using operational data. **Overview** The "Business Process Transformation Solution" uses AJS's proprietary framework and objective operational data analysis to hierarchically grasp processes from the business structure, backing the shift to overall optimization aimed at achieving corporate business goals. The main features are as follows: 1. **Visualization of business processes for achieving business goals using AJS's proprietary framework** Going beyond mere data visualization, companies can objectively determine "which operations should be reviewed and in what order" through AJS's proprietary framework, which hierarchically organizes business structure, business goals, and business processes. In addition, by using the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), a global standard for diagramming business procedures with standardized symbols, cross-departmental business processes can be visualized horizontally. It also significantly suppresses the risk of omitted requirements and rework when renewing legacy systems, strongly supporting project completion. 2. **Business cost reduction effect of approximately 30%** As a result of applying the "Business Process Transformation Solution" to AJS's sales management operations, excessive information transmission and overlapping work caused by individual optimization were visualized, confirming a cost reduction effect of approximately 30%. Furthermore, through system construction and operational improvement based on standard processes, a maximum cycle time reduction of 20% and overtime reduction of 30% were achieved, demonstrating a business cost reduction of about 30% as a result. 3. **Clarification of expected effects through a visualization trial menu** The manufacturing industry processes that AJS has supported for many years can be applied to any industry with complex cross-departmental coordination. First, through a visualization trial menu targeting specific business processes, bottlenecks are extracted and inefficient operations are quantified based on the operational data of existing systems, visualizing the issues.
