Case Study: Shonan Unitec Corporation reduces inventory and streamlines production scheduling with Asprova

Shonan Unitec reduces inventory and cuts scheduling overtime with Asprova

Shonan Unitec Corporation, an auto parts manufacturer, faced challenges with inconsistent production schedules across its processes. This was caused by separate scheduling for each process based on mainframe-generated documents, leading to excess inventory and long overtime work for staff. The company turned to Asprova Corporation for its production scheduling system, Asprova, due to its ease of installation, diverse standard features, and bulk production capability.

By implementing Asprova, Shonan Unitec achieved consistency between all processes, enabling smaller lot sizes and a significant visual reduction of excess inventory. The solution improved scheduling accuracy, which balanced the daily workload and substantially reduced the load on factory workers. Furthermore, scheduling that previously required multiple employees working overtime is now completed by a single person. Asprova has become a byword for production planning throughout the factory.
