Business Process Analysis and Improvement Consulting

The drastically changing manufacturing industry

In the business environments that encompass the manufacturing industry, the competition is intensifying in a way that we have never experienced before. There is a demand for the reconstruction of systems due to the emergence of the manufacturing industries of rising nations, and furthermore, the economic trends that see no end, including economic partnerships represented by the TPP and new economic zones represented by ASEAN. Take the following, for example.

• Territories of local production for local consumption expand from countries to economic zones; meanwhile, those geared for consumers are produced in optimal areas based on universal design
• Advancement in the localization of planning and procurement functions for products that fit local areas
• New value creation, as typified by IoT, is essential for the growth of businesses
• Change to true localization according to the top level of management, from the support of SV (SuperVisor ) and from personnel loans from the production HQ (headquarters) and the mother factory.

In the case of further extensions to improvements of manufacturing sites, changes are occurring in which surviving the competition is becoming increasingly difficult.

Points for Surviving Competition in the Manufacturing Industry

Are you manufacturing with old-fashioned "made-to-order designs"?

Work starts on "made-to-order designs" after an order is received, from design to procurement, to manufacture, and a lead time that has extensive leeway is required.

1. A transformation from "made-to-order designs" to "production designs" is necessary.
   • For "production designs", human resources must be nurtured and there must be a transformation in the thoughts of employees indirectly involved with manufacturing (manufacturing, procurement, manufacturing technology).
   • For "production designs", partners of departments that are related to manufacturing, such as delivery companies, suppliers, design departments, and customers, as well their intermediaries, must unite.
   
   
2. If work flow can be improved once the system is created, the information system is configured.
3. To achieve "product designs", transparency with the various plans is mandatory. In fact, this is the first step for a SCM (supply chain management) configuration.

EBSS supports value optimization through counseling our customers in order to take on the new transformation while sustaining the above-mentioned points.

The reallocation of manufacturing resources is essential for this growth curve.Can you do these preparations?

There are hurdles that cannot be overcome regardless of the efforts made when reallocating manufacturing resources.
Milestone management and roadmaps of the development policies through risk screening are vital.
Our consulting service will help you with those preparations.
