Background

In recent years, with changes in market environments and customer needs, many companies have seen their operations become more complex. Individual improvements made by each department often hinder overall optimization, a situation that has become increasingly apparent. In many workplaces, initiatives are proceeding with unclear priorities for improvement and uncertain return on investment, making fundamental reforms aimed at achieving original business goals an urgent necessity.

AJS was established as an information system subsidiary of the Asahi Kasei Group, specializing in supporting operations from manufacturing sites to management, combining deep understanding of on-site operations with system expertise. Its approach to operational improvement for diverse processes in manufacturing, such as procurement, production, and sales, is applicable to all industries with complex cross-departmental coordination, including distribution, trading companies, and service industries.

Therefore, AJS developed the "Business Process Transformation Solution" to objectively and quantitatively help companies identify areas for improvement. This solution combines AJS's proprietary framework, which links business goals with operational processes, with analysis based on operational data.

Overview

The "Business Process Transformation Solution" utilizes AJS's proprietary framework and objective operational data analysis to hierarchically understand processes from the business structure, thereby promoting a shift towards overall optimization for achieving corporate business goals. Key features are as follows:

＜Features＞

・ Visualization of Business Processes for Achieving Business Goals with AJS's Proprietary Framework

Beyond mere data visualization, AJS's unique framework hierarchically organizes business structure, business goals, and business processes, enabling companies to objectively determine "which operations to review and in what order." Furthermore, by using Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), a global standard for diagramming operational procedures with standardized symbols, cross-departmental business processes are visualized. This significantly reduces the risk of requirement omissions and rework during legacy system refreshes, strongly supporting project completion.

・ Approximately 30% Reduction in Operational Costs

Applying the "Business Process Transformation Solution" to AJS's sales management operations revealed excessive information transfer and duplicate tasks caused by localized optimization, confirming an approximate 30% cost reduction effect.

Furthermore, system construction based on standard processes and operational improvements led to a maximum 20% reduction in cycle time and a 30% reduction in overtime, ultimately demonstrating an approximate 30% reduction in operational costs.

・ Clarification of Expected Effects through Visualization Trial Menu

AJS's long-standing support for manufacturing processes is applicable to all industries with complex cross-departmental coordination. Initially, through a visualization trial menu targeting specific business processes, bottlenecks are extracted and inefficient operations are quantified based on existing system operational data, visualizing the issues. This enables companies to objectively recognize their own challenges, judge the validity and priority of improvement investments, clarify expected effects, and gather concrete materials for consideration.

・ Verification of Improvement Effects and Continuous Improvement Support

Support is provided for the operation and stabilization phase, which involves verifying the effects of business improvements and setting new challenges. Through data-driven verification, business improvements are not a one-off event but are continuously reviewed in response to environmental changes.
