Steps in building Lean Automation

Key advantages of Denso's IoT + KAIZEN consulting

Here are some reasons why we recommend LASI Consulting Services from the perspective of a general trading company that handles industrial robots and factory automation equipment in Thailand.

■ Features of Denso-style consulting services

1.Eliminate MUDA. Visualization of data for eliminating waste (ineffectuality) in operation by utilizing IoT.
One of the biggest features of this service is that it thoroughly eliminates "MUDA". Automating the current state as it is would also automate waste (ineffectuality) in operation. Before automation, we utilize IoT to visualize MUDA for our customers. We aim for true 'efficiency improvement'.

2.Start IoT small
The purpose of IoT is neither to acquire nor visualize data. It is how to utilize the visualized information to improve productivity. DENSO's IoT starts by focusing on the data to be utilized and acquiring it.

3.Data analysis service + KAIZEN proposal
We analyze the collected data and submit the KAIZEN proposals obtained from it as a report. Accurately understanding "what is happening at the site" through IoT is the first step in KAIZEN activities. Furthermore, a significant characteristic of Denso's approach is focusing on whether the full potential of individuals is being utilized. By engaging in this process with Denso, companies gain the experience of transforming the productivity improvement process into their own expertise.

Specific proposals are simple and clear. We focus on priority points and make KAIZEN proposals that are easy to tackle one by one. You can grasp the key points of productivity improvement without incurring unnecessary costs.

Customers who have actually used the service seem to be able to work with a sense of satisfaction by receiving advice not from consulting firm, but from Denso, a company that has been at the forefront of manufacturing.
