「Productivity improvements through new investment and stronger collaboration across the sales and production organisations promoted in-house production, allowing annual print volumes at both the Saitama and Wakayama plants to reach record highs and absorb the investment costs.」
It states that cross-functional collaboration and investment improved productivity, with both plants achieving record print volumes and absorbing the investment costs. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「The company also used RPA technology to improve the efficiency of production operations and automate quality control. These improvements significantly reduced human error and substantially eased the workload on staff.」
It states that the scope of RPA was expanded to include improving production efficiency and automating quality control, resulting in reduced human error and a lighter workload for staff. - FY2024-Q3AdvancedAnnual report
「The company proceeded to reduce the labor required for production work and automate quality checks by using RPA and other tools, thereby reducing human error and easing the workload on staff.」
It states that the use of RPA was expanded beyond its previous scope to specifically reduce the labor required for production work, automate quality checks, reduce human error, and ease the workload on staff. - FY2024-Q2AdvancedAnnual report
「We also used RPA to automate routine tasks involved in producing flyers with a wide range of formats, improving operational efficiency and working to reduce human error.」
It states that, as a means of improving manufacturing and production cost efficiency, RPA was used to automate routine tasks involved in producing flyers in a wide range of formats, with efforts made to improve operational efficiency and reduce human error. - FY2023-Q2AdvancedAnnual report
「On the production side, reductions in costs flowing outside the company progressed as a result of higher utilisation supported by efficiency improvements from capital investment and stronger cross-functional coordination.」
It states that stronger cross-functional coordination and capital investment increased utilisation, leading to reductions in costs flowing outside the company as a result of manufacturing cost efficiencies. - FY2023-Q1AdvancedAnnual report
「On the production side, reductions in costs flowing outside the company progressed as a result of higher production-equipment utilisation, supported by continued investment to improve production efficiency and stronger cross-functional coordination.」
It states that stronger cross-functional coordination and continued investment increased production-equipment utilisation and advanced cost reductions. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「On the production side, continued investment to improve production efficiency and stronger cross-functional coordination increased production-equipment utilisation, resulting in reductions in costs flowing outside the company.」
It states that production-equipment utilisation increased through cross-functional coordination and continued investment, leading to cost reductions. - FY2022-Q3AdvancedAnnual report
「On the production side, continued investment to improve production efficiency and stronger cross-functional coordination increased production-equipment utilisation, resulting in further reductions in costs flowing outside the company.」
It states that stronger cross-functional coordination increased production-equipment utilisation and led to further reductions in costs flowing outside the company. - FY2022-Q2AdvancedAnnual report
「On the production side, cross-functional coordination, which had been in place, became stronger, and we made investments to improve operational efficiency while working to reduce costs flowing outside the company.」
It states that cross-functional coordination has become stronger, advancing cost efficiency through coordination among departments including sales, creative and production. - FY2022-Q1AdvancedAnnual report
「On the production side, to further improve production efficiency, we made capital investments, strengthened cross-functional coordination among the sales, creative and production divisions, and pursued reductions in costs flowing outside the company.」
It newly describes stronger cross-functional coordination among sales, creative and production as a specific means of improving manufacturing cost efficiency. - FY2016First statedAnnual report
「Each department head analyses numerical data such as workers’ daily reports and work management sheets, pursues productivity improvements through coordination and cooperation with other departments, and provides training to improve workers’ skill levels and shorten working hours, thereby working to reduce costs and achieve costs commensurate with orders received.」
The policy is to improve productivity and costs through analysis of daily reports and management sheets, interdepartmental coordination and worker training.
