Case Study: Hitachi Electronic Devices boosts production scheduling speed with Asprova

Hitachi Electronic Devices reduces production scheduling time from 26 hours to 4 hours with Asprova

Asprova Corporation implemented its production scheduler for Hitachi Electronic Devices Co.,Ltd, a Japanese factory in China manufacturing CCFL lamps. The customer faced challenges from frequent order changes and manual scheduling, which took 26 hours and made rush order responses difficult. They also struggled with a lack of production line visibility, over-reliance on individual planners, and high work-in-progress inventory.

The solution from Asprova automated scheduling, integrating with production results. This dramatically sped processing to schedule 100,000 jobs in 1.5 minutes, cutting schedule creation from 26 to 4 hours. It enabled immediate due date quotes for rush orders and provided visual Gantt charts for real-time progress tracking. Asprova's implementation helped reduce dependence on individual personnel and began addressing inventory issues.
