Production / Procurement Logistics Solutions

Helping to improve manufacturing efficiency and
reduce lead times

Working with Mitsubishi Electric, we are actively involved in Production / Procurement solutions for ensuring greater efficiency in the supply of the raw materials and components used in manufacturing. We can advise on ways to solve the sort of logistics issues confronting production managers – from improving management of materials/products, kitting & packing, to reducing procurement costs with milk runs.
We can make concrete, detailed proposals based on a through familiarity with production and procurement flows.

Logistics to improve production capabilities and reduce inventory

In recent years, an increasing number of manufacturers looking to expand their factory production capabilities and reduce inventory are considering such initiatives as warehousing outside their production plants and reorganizing their inventory depots. For such clients we can offer a total service that includes everything from inventory control of materials and products to packing, warehousing and transportation. Through improved logistics efficiency, we can help raise the productivity of factories.

Contributing to the visibility of procurement costs

A key issue for the manufacturing industry is procurement cost control for components. Previously it was common for these to be delivered to each factory separately, resulting in additional logistics costs. However, we can provide greater visibility for such costs through integrated management of procurement logistics.

Contributing to the efficiency of suppliers’ operations

The management load and maintenance costs associated with running one’s own logistics department can be a barrier to kaizen initiatives. But we can take charge of such tasks as aggregation and batch delivery, and thus reduce the load while keeping costs in check.

Improving efficiency with component sorting/kitting

At our logistics centers staff have extensive knowledge of manufacturing processes and of production and procurement flows. In addition to the storage of components, we offer such services as the sorting of parts for use on production lines and kitting tailored to specific processes.

Design service for optimized product packaging

Our staff will coordinate with the customer’s product design team to advise on the optimum packaging for the product that ensures sufficient protection while reducing costs and environmental load. We can thus contribute to enhancing transportation efficiency and quality.
