2. Industry Solution Automobile and auto-parts industry Quality control Operations which are not yet standardized sometimes causedefects Cost and Profits Cost and profit per product should be visualized Due dates The gaps between forecasted orders and fixed orders are hard tobe adjusted. Emergency orders and order changes are causes ofanxiety. Globalization Close coordination with foreign factories is hard to maintainStrict quality control, schedule management, and cost control are especially required in thisindustry.Asprovas high speed production schedulerswhich enable visualization of schedules haveserved our clients needs. The following is theintroduction of Asprovas solution.Schedulers with finite capacity make production plans which can be directly used as work instructions.Schedulers can manage urgent orders and due date changes, allocating inventories. Order Gantt Chart: enables checking of overdue orders, wait times of each process, inventory allocation. TheOrder Gantt Charts standard feature includes a Resource Gantt Chart, an Instruction Gantt Chart, an item GanttChart, overdue flags. The Order Gantt Chart is easily operated with the mouse.Finding the due date by finite capacity schedulingFour problems of Automobile and Auto-parts industryPegged to inventoriesLeading time Due dateStart and the end of each processOperating resource at each process

3. Industry Solution Automobile and auto-parts industryAsprova is capable of efficient load allocation to multiple production lines. Asprova also manages to take intoaccount facility investment simulations and manpower employment planning. Shift changes per facility orworker are easily operated with the mouse. Load graph: current load status is recognizable in one view. Displayed periods, displayed resources, and textdisplay are customizable at your will. In addition, inventory graphs and leading time graphs are included as astandard feature.The Skill map, a table to set up process skill of employees, is provided as a standard feature. It enablesmanaging of employees capacity, ability/inability and processing speed, separate to integrated master tablessuch as the BOM (Bill of Materials) and resource capacities. Up to 999 skill types can be added. Displays and input means are also easily customized.Skill map to manage workers capacityEfficient load adjustmentResource load status per day(per hour setting is also available)Load percentageaverage

4. Industry Solution Automobile and auto-parts industryRegistering orders not only per production unit/lot but also per sales order unit/lot is possible. Productionschedules can be made to eliminate unnecessary inventory, while taking into account safety inventories. Sales plan table: The information on orders for a certainperiod can be registered with the accuracy of companyforecast, sales forecast, customer forecast, and confirmedorders.*Sales order option is required. Inventory graph: inventory changes andmaterial requirement can be calculated at oneview. In addition, production graphs andconsumption graphs are available. Calculationfunctionality for each term is also included.Key Performance Index (KPI) including sales, profit, profit ratio and material cost can be calculated by cost peritem and working cost per resource. Calculation formulae can be freely customized. Also, a standard costbreakdown can be calculated. It can be used to verify the result of facility investment simulations as well.* KPI option is required KPI (Key Performance Index): KPI can evaluate the schedule result and keep records. KPI radar chart: KPI radar chart enablescomparison of the simulation result by radarchart. (with HTML View)Evaluation of the result of scheduling and simulation by KPIProduction Scheduling pegged toinventories and order information

7. Case Study 1Kihara Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Pipe Manufacturer Chooses Asprova for Scheduling SpeedAchieves Load Leveling and Major Inventory ReductionThe Ibaraki factory of Kihara Manufacturing Company specializes inproduction of piping and tubing, including truck exhaust pipes, engine pipes,and hydraulic pipes for construction equipment. Production scheduling isperformed twice each morning, first for products and then again for parts.Weighed down by the complexity of handling a large number of customersand product varieties and the resulting large number of order changes, theywere drawn to Asprovas ability to maintain fast scheduling speed in the faceof overwhelming data size. Due to the flexibility of the Asprova program, theywere able to deal with the large number of customers and products whilekeeping customization to a minimum.Problems Prior to Introduction MOUNTAINS of paperwork due to complicatedscheduling procedures CONFUSION on assembly line due tocontradictory instructions from different processmanagers PROCESS managers hoarding inventory to avoidmissed deadlinesReason for Introducing Asprova ASPROVAs scheduling speed MINIMAL need for customization QUALITY of response from Scheduling SystemLaboratoryBenefits of Introduction ASPROVAs load calculations enabled schedulingto be performed centrally every morning withoutexchange of paperwork. CONTROL of factory floor through reliableschedules led to inventory reduction of more than200 million yen. CLARITY of priorities and accuracy of loadcalculations in Asprovas manufacturinginstructions eliminated need for corrections byprocess managers.Data VolumeFinished products 3,400Total items 10,000Resources 100Processes 3Scheduling period 58 daysScheduling cycle once / dayLots in scheduling period 6,000Jobs in scheduling period 15,000Production Scheduling in State ofConfusionUp till now in the Ibaraki factory of KiharaManufacturing Company, process managers for eachcustomer carried out instruction-based production whichdepended on the exchange of considerable paperwork inthe form of production plans, work charts, missing itemlists, and instruction supplements. Since it was notfeasible for detailed factory-wide production schedules tobe drawn up centrally on a daily basis, much of the burdenof scheduling was placed on the shoulders of the processmanagers themselves, who were often unable to setappropriate priorities to the requests for needed partscoming in simultaneously from numerous other managers.As the factory floor and production management officebecame increasingly swamped in paperwork, the problemwas worsened by managers making unnecessarily largerequest for parts or hiding inventory stock for fear ofmissing deadlines. Although a production managementsystem had been installed on the factory mainframe formore than 20 years, the reality of the factorys productionscheduling was that it was in a state of confusion."For more than 10 years," explains Masami Satoh,Chief of Production Management, "we had been lookinginto introducing a scheduling management system, and infact we tried several different ones, but none of themreached the stage of actual installation." The main reason,he says, was that most of the systems were unable tohandle the large number of customers and productvarieties. They decided on Asprova because of the highspeed of its scheduling computation, and because theyvalued Scheduling System Laboratorys quick response toall of their needs. Concerning the speed of computation,Satoh says, "We saw the demo and were amazed."Kihara Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Main office: 6-14-9 Soto-kanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 101-0021 JapanIbaraki factory: 5166 Uchimoriya-cho, Mizukaido-shi, Ibaraki-ken303-0042 JapanCompany established: February 1943, Factory established: July 1954Representative director: President Tsuneo KiharaCapital: 107 million yen, Employees: 270 (as of June 1998)Annual sales: 5 billion yen (in 1997)Since its establishment, Kihara Manufacturing Company hasspecialized in producing a diverse range of low-pressure to high-pressurepipes for use in motors, industrial machinery, ships, and other machinery.
