Gunze is a top-five apparel and fabric company in Japan. It began its TOC journey in ELMA, one of its electronics divisions, where it successfully developed a new business system based on the TOC Internal Supply Chain model. Based on the results achieved in ELMA, Gunze used TOC to reassess its Apparel division business strategy and developed new functional strategies based on the Market Demand-PullSM solution to support the changes in the market conditions.
Key targets, such as reduction in production lead time and supply chain inventory, and improved customer service level were established. An implementation plan was developed and enacted.
This presentation discusses the planning and implementation process, challenges faced and lessons learned.
Having met the project’s objectives to date, Gunze is now planning to roll out the TOC SCM model both upstream and downstream, and will be using TOC PM to address product development constraints.
