Partner-Webcast: Using Data Driven Kaizen Towards Lean Manufacturing

On-demand

In our partner-webcast with Fujitsu our experts explain how to implement Process Mining solutions, including key challenges and learnings. Participate and get to know about concrete examples and how Fujitsu utilizes its Lean-Manufacturing-based framework to create insights for manufacturers using SAP Signavio.

What to expect

The manufacturing industry requires flexibility and adaptability to constantly improve processes to achieve sustainability. In line with this, Kaizen is a method that encourages continuous improvement over a period of time. The advantage of this approach is that it involves cooperation and commitment as opposed to top-down initiatives that rely on radical changes to achieve transformation.

With the adoption of SAP Signavio solutions, Fujitsu has incorporated Process Mining as a key component of the Kaizen framework (utilized in one of their Japanese manufacturing plants) to generate data-driven insights.

As a result of this evidence-based approach, data collection time is reduced, which also helps the company identify opportunities for process improvements and eliminate wasteful practices more quickly.

Learn how Fujitsu implemented Process Mining in their Kaizen Method, including:

  • A brief introduction to Kaizen
  • A brief overview of SAP Signavios solutions supporting Kaizen
  • How Fujitsu creates insights for manufacturers based on its Lean Manufacturing framework and SAP Signavio
  • How to best combine Process Visualization with Process Mining insights
  • Fujitsu's Sustainable Manufacturing Loop, which has been developed based on the Kaizen method and the SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite
  • Key challenges that were encountered and lessons learned
