Case Study: Kobayashi Create Co., Ltd. boosts production throughput with Asprova

Kobayashi Create boosts production throughput by 30% with Asprova

Kobayashi Create Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of printed business forms and information services, faced challenges in its build-to-order production due to poor communication between departments and an inability of its existing scheduler to optimize across the entire plant. To achieve seamless integration and respond faster to customer needs, the company implemented the Asprova production scheduling system.

The solution from Asprova enabled seamless connection to the company's ERP, providing real-time visualization of the plant and creating optimized, executable schedules. This resulted in a production throughput increase of over 30% and improved same-day delivery response rates from 20% to 80. Additionally, the number of planners required was reduced from seven to three. Asprova's implementation led to overall optimization and was later expanded to a subsidiary.
