About this Presentation
This presentation is about our F (future)-Project, an activity for opening up a new vista of the future between Nagahama Canon and its suppliers. We mutually confirm to make a continuous strong base for best procurement. Phase 1 started 2005, phase 2 in 2007 and phase 3 in 2009. The first phase was about cost containment and the second phase was about collaboration. In 2009 we enlisted Goal Consulting to implement TOC. Canon has seven divisions. This project related to Canon's laser printers division. In phase 3 TOC was used to build management strategy with the common idea of supplier competition. Canon and its suppliers (14 of 21 companies are participating in the third phase) needed to determine how to define the core problem. Next they discussed what to change and how to cause the change with TOC as the bridge. Targets are to achieve a system to supply what is requested in a timely manner with short lead time; each supplier can have the fundamental ability to respond to a customer request from not only Nagahama Canon, but all customers; suppliers meet the high-level QCD requested by Nagahama Canon; and the suppliers have the system to increase profitability.
