Cyber & Real for realizing total solutions

In order for a company to be a winner in the business world, it is important to build a supply chain in which products that customers want are offered in a timely manner and at competitive prices. To achieve the objective, it is necessary to fuse “Cyber,” the IT infrastructure, and “Real,” the business processes and facilities, in a balanced way. Furthermore, composite solutions that integrate business processes, IT and facilities are also required.

Issues that involve manufacturing and logistics are found at various levels, from the business level that affects the corporate organization to the minute worksite improvement level. In this day and age, technologies are developed quickly and the environment changes rapidly, causing the issues to combine in many cases.

Innovation management method for solving compound issues

In the conventional schemes, these issues were optimized and resolved separately. In reality, however, each issue depends on and influences each other and if one aspect of the issue is changed another aspect is also changed. Thorough resolution of these compound issues, aiming at overall optimization, is truly innovative. TOYO defines the methodology to achieve the objective “Innovation Management.”
