Yuhan Kimberly
Business Environment
Yuhan-Kimberly is a joint venture company of Kimberly Clark in the United States and Yuhan Kimberly in South Korea, which is a global household goods company, and is engaged in household hygiene products and bath / body care business. We offer globally recognized products such as baby diaper brand Huggies and toilet paper Kleenex.
Project Background & Goals
Yuhan-Kimberly's existing demand forecasting and sales planning work was done manually using Excel, which caused various operational inefficiencies. Demand forecasts were made without standardization, and manual sales plans were formulated. In addition, due to the development of production plans that are not feasible, it took a lot of time for the planning department to reconstruct the necessary information, and faced the difficulty of communication between related departments. In an attempt to improve these problems, Yuhan-Kimberly derived improvement goals for each of the main SCM areas as follows. In marketing, we made monthly forecasts of SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) national level data, and in the sales department, after entering the weekly forecasts and amounts of selected products, we tried to improve the integration work of quantity switching and distribution. The SCM department analyzed forecast and planning information on prices and quantities to enable a systematic S&OP conferencing system. For management, we decided to improve the quality of forecasting and configure the monitoring system to allow various searches by SCM area.
Benefits
From the system's point of view, first, in the demand forecast area, apply various demand forecast models such as the exponential smoothing method and the moving average method of the system to obtain the optimum numerical value. By presenting, it is now possible to quickly obtain a forecast value that can be used. In addition, by providing the sales department with the latest sales status values in real time, it was effective in improving the accuracy of demand forecasting. By leveraging the aggregation and disaggregation features, the quality of forecasts has been improved so that upper and lower level units work together. In the area of sales planning within the built system, monthly sales planning and weekly sales planning can now be managed in one system, and both plans work together to improve the accuracy of the planning. In addition, it was possible to monitor the comparison between the plan and the actual result, and to refer to various data necessary for planning at the same time.
Nongshim
Business Environment
Established in 1965 with Lotte Industries as its parent company, Nongshim is a food company that sells ramen such as Shin Ramyun, Chapagetti, and Ebisen, as well as snacks and beverages. In addition to our main business of snacks, we have entered the beverage business such as mineral water and "Welch" juice, and are actively expanding our business domain in the field of processed foods such as bread and ham. We have solidified our position as a global company by exporting to 80 countries around the world, including the US, Asian and European markets.
Project Background & Goals
Nongshim pursues a strong change in constitution under the vision of “Toyota in the food industry”, and comprehensively covers sales, production, purchasing, and logistics as the main strategic division of management innovation. Aimed to reform to. The main problem with the existing Nongshim management plan is that sales activities are being carried out with the goal of improving total sales, and the establishment of an SCM operating system in collaboration with business partners and cooperating companies is being carried out. It was an inadequate situation. In addition, there was a lack of rational and clear lead management policies. As a result, excess inventory has occurred, product distribution days have become longer, and distribution inventory has not been accurately grasped. In addition, production plans were changed frequently, and the supply and demand of materials was unstable in terms of delivery time and quality. The main problem in the logistics management area was the lack of sophisticated logistics planning and long transportation lead times. In addition, the management of comparison between plans and actual results was insufficient, and the management of distribution costs for each product was not carried out promptly and rationally. As a result, loading time was often delayed, and the product shortage rate due to transportation delays remained high. Not only that, undelivered items and misdelivery occurred frequently, and customer dissatisfaction with the delivery service increased. In terms of the purchasing management system, information management of purchasing standards was inadequate and information sharing with suppliers was incorrect. In addition, the standardization and sharing rate of materials was low, and QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery) management of purchases was insufficient. As a result, unnecessary materials have become excessive, resulting in frequent delays in the arrival of materials and shortages of materials. For this reason, the ratio of material costs to manufacturing costs is relatively high, which is a burden that cannot be overlooked as a company.
Benefits
aThe SCM solution project for agricultural cores carried out at Zionex grasps the demand plan and actual demand based on the organic business cooperation between the head office and the factory, and the production plan and inventory that reflect the status of the material inventory at the factory. It was done for the purpose of formulating replenishment plans and transportation plans. Zionex's T3 Demand module has been applied for short-term and medium- to long-term demand forecasts. Supplement The T3SupplyNet module was constructed and operated to operate transportation, factory allocation, and medium- to long-term production plans. The inventory management system, the ability of the packaging process in the factory, the ability of employees in the production process and the restrictions on the main materials were grasped. Eventually, the T3Schedule module will be able to operate weekly and daily production plans and semi-finished production plans, with production capacity by production line and employees in the production process. We examined the ability and rearrangement of.
