Case Study: Panasonic Appliances Air-Conditioning Malaysia reduces inventory and improves scheduling with Asprova

Panasonic Appliances Air-Conditioning Malaysia cuts inventory 20% with Asprova

Panasonic Appliances Air-Conditioning Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (PAPAMY), a long-established air conditioner manufacturer, faced challenges in manufacturing efficiency and inventory reduction due to rapidly changing global demand. To standardize planning across its global group and enable more responsive, precise scheduling, the company turned to vendor Asprova Corporation for its production scheduling system.

The solution involved implementing Asprova's scheduling system in the heat exchanger department, integrated with existing SAP and MES systems to avoid duplicate data entry. Asprova's system provided vital visualization of the planning process. Results included a 20% reduction in both in-process and material inventory, significant shortening of monthly and MRP scheduling times, a 1.5% decrease in scraps, and improved ability to handle rapid plan changes. PAPAMY was satisfied with Asprova's results and has planned further deployments.
