Centralized In-Plant Logistics for Stable Production
NX integrates in-plant logistics operations and drives efficiency and stability through continuous improvement.
Customer：Chemical Manufacturer
Challenge (Before)
The customer had been managing in-plant logistics operations within its manufacturing facility in-house. However, as production expanded, the workload associated with receiving, storage, line-side supply, and shipping increased significantly. This resulted in more coordination between processes and a growing volume of internal transportation within the plant.
In addition, a substantial amount of labor was required for logistics coordination and on-site operations management. Employees who should have focused on production management were increasingly occupied with logistics tasks, making it difficult to allocate sufficient resources to their core responsibilities.
As the company faced the need to accommodate further expansion of product lines and increasing order volumes, the existing structure had reached its limits, making a fundamental review of in-plant logistics necessary.
Solutions
NX Solution
- NX centrally manages all in-plant logistics operations, integrating the entire flow from receiving and storage to line-side supply and shipping. This streamlines previously complex logistics processes and establishes a seamless operational structure.
- By leveraging NX’s warehouse network, storage functions inside and outside the plant are optimally allocated. Improved storage efficiency reduces internal transportation within the facility.
- Drawing on experience across diverse industries, NX flexibly supports a wide range of in-plant logistics operations, including on-site handling and value-added services such as distribution processing.
- Continuous improvements are implemented through daily operations, driving greater efficiency and stable management of in-plant logistics.
Benefits
Benefits (Results)
By entrusting NX with centralized management of in-plant logistics operations, the flow of goods—from receiving and storage to line-side supply and shipping—was streamlined, reducing inefficiencies and bottlenecks between processes.
The workload required for logistics coordination and on-site operational management was significantly reduced, enabling the customer to focus on core production management activities such as production planning and process control.
Furthermore, continuous improvements through daily operations enhanced both the efficiency and stability of in-plant logistics. As a result, the customer established a logistics framework capable of flexibly responding to expanded product lines and increased order volumes.
