Sharing my thoughts and ideas on continuous improvement
Explaining the computation method of re-ordering point for ROP (: Re-ordering point) Kanban implemented in the materials warehouse. Kanban is a quite inexpensive way to tackle inventory rationalization with a visible monitoring system.
Explaining to you the benefit of taking over to 3PL (: Third Party Logistics) company instead of holding the materials/products warehouse in a company, particularly cost perspective. Please check it out.
The magnet method is an inexpensive way to monitor the materials consumption at Gemba. Upon issuance of the parts, then you simply attach the magnet to the shelf.
MTBF represents the reliability of the equipment/machine. For the value of the MTBF, the longer, the better. I would like to explain how this MTBF computes.
What is Carrying Cost Percentage? Carrying Cost % is the cost of inventory. If ever there are some inventories in the warehouse, there are some costs such as utilities, etc. I would like to share the percentage of the Carrying Cost based on my experiences here in Japan. Please enjoy the improvement.
