Customer interviews and testimonials of ADAP users in various industries, who have successfully implemented ADAP and realized the operational restructuring of production management.
Nichiban Runs ADAP!
Nichiban Co., Ltd., widely known as the manufacturer of the famous "CELLOTAPE™" adhesive tape, introduced ADAP as a production management system to three factories in Japan. We interviewed the teams of business Management Division (HQ) and Saitama Factory about the reason for selecting ADAP, challenges during its implementation, and changes they went through after deployment of ADAP.
Not only the production team, but ADAP also helped the whole corporate climate to change.

Automotive Paint Manufacturer
Cut inventories by 40%. Facility investment is no longer required.
Being a multi-product company, we need to correspond to considerable demand fluctuation of each product, not to mention to meet deadlines without any fail, all of which caused large stock of inventories and finished products.
Food Processing Company
No more product disposals! Stock management to achieve no stocks out-of-date.
We used to have product disposals chronically, since we produced enough product volumes to avoid stock out, based on our personal hunch. On the other hand, we needed to have plenty of inventories due to the complex procedure of the purchase of raw materials, which sometimes resulted in wrong procurements. In order to correspond to the mistakes we might have, we had to keep extra materials more than necessary.
Communication Device Manufacturer
Intermediate stock down to 1/5. No more picking mistakes.
The workflow of mounting and inspection got switched somehow, and substrate was not finished the way it should be. The final assembly got delayed because of the additional time required to obtain the proper substrates, which caused overdue delivery.
Bulb Manufacturer
Delivery date achievement ratio increased to >90%. Promptly reply with Available to Promise.
Despite high-mix low-volume production had advanced at our company, we kept our legacy production management, which resulted in reducing the delivery date achievement ratio, as low as 65%. Not only that, we weren't able to provide Available to Promise promptly to customers, which made customer quite unhappy.
Film and Sheet Production Company
Treasure worth 800K USD hunted in the storehouse. Financing much improved!
Too many intermediate stocks had always stressed financing. Especially the ones between upper stream (i.e. sheet forming and coating), and lower stream (i.e. printing and cutting) were large in number, which required many man-hours for stock management.
Special Sheet Metal Manufacturer
Cut 40% of intermediate stocks! Achieved overall cost reduction by shifting to small-lot production.
Due to the long storage period, the stocks got rusty and deteriorated, resulting in poor quality.
