Supply-Chain Management

Summary

Issues that involve logistics in the manufacturing industry are found at a number of different levels, from the business level that broadly affects the organization and business processes of the company to the minute level of worksite improvement.
Making use of its extensive experience and integrating its diverse technologies, TOYO arrives at the optimum situation for logistics. We then implement overall optimization relying on our powerful project implementation capabilities.

Optimum reorganization of logistic bases

The positioning of logistic bases is an exceptionally complex issue, requiring balance to be maintained among contradictory objectives while studying a diverse range of combinations. To achieve the optimum administrative decision, it is necessary to repeat the simulation of optimization under several conditions and induce the optimum alternative.
Taking advantage of the in-house developed optimization methods and know-how cultivated through consultation, TOYO achieves the optimum reorganization of your logistic bases.

Objectives and conditions for the optimum reorganization of logistic bases

Improving material flow inside the plant [Overall optimization]

In general, material flow inside the plant is enhanced by accumulating the improvements made to each element, but we cannot expect benefits without an overall balance.
To eliminate situations such as excessive facilities or lack of flexibility, and to avoid getting trapped in unproductive and ineffective improvement plans, it is necessary to have extensive technologies that cover production planning, circulation planning and other software aspects and distribution equipment, automated equipment and other hardware aspects. In addition, a high level of skill for surveying and analyzing the actual situations and capabilities to achieve the optimum To-Be model are also required.

To arrive at the optimum solution, broad knowledge and experience are necessary for understanding the operations at the worksite.
Based on the business expertise of the client, TOYO makes proposals for overall optimization of material flow in the plant and achieves them, with its ability of maintaining its overall broad-based perspective.

Construction of a new plant with optimized material flow tasks/construction of a new plant with logistic center

The construction of a new plant provides a major opportunity for a company to increase its competitiveness. On the other hand, many uncertainties and risks exist when new production activities are to start. TOYO is able to bring to fruition a new plant with an even higher competitive edge by relying on its experience in designing and constructing plants for pharmaceutical, food, semiconductor and other products, as well as gigantic logistics centers for books, pharmaceuticals and other products, where hundreds of thousands of items are handled in a day.

TOYO also excels in the construction of new plant complexes equipped with logistic center functions. We calculate the scale of the tasks at the worksite and optimize production plans, then conduct appropriate planning for the circulation and layout of the manufacturing and warehouse areas. Taking into consideration the future expansion of production volumes and the need to cope with high-mix, low-volume production, we arrive at highly scalable architectural design and introduce facilities and determine zoning in a highly flexible manner.
