Case Study: Mitsubishi Electric Corporation achieves shorter planning cycles and improved scheduling with Asprova

Mitsubishi Electric cuts schedule prep from 2 weeks a month to daily planning with Asprova

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation's Nakatsugawa Works faced a significant challenge in its production scheduling. Workgroup leaders spent up to two weeks each month manually creating schedules based on infinite-capacity plans from a host computer, a process that was time-consuming and prone to errors and unnecessary machine setup time. To solve this, they turned to Asprova Corporation for its Asprova production scheduling system.

The implementation of Asprova's software drastically improved their scheduling process. The solution provided a user-friendly GUI and high-speed scheduling, which shortened the planning cycle and eliminated previous errors. As a result, schedule preparation time was greatly reduced, freeing leaders for other tasks, and the host computer's planning cycle was shortened from twice a month to as often as once a day. The benefits were so apparent that Asprova was expanded to five divisions within the works.
