In this seminar, we will explain from a management perspective how to successfully conduct "data-driven price negotiations" through case studies of SmartF, as well as the specific steps for "maximizing profits while reducing the burden on the field" in productivity improvement. If any of the following apply to your company, it may be a sign that you are missing out on opportunities to "generate more profit." ✅ You cannot present "supporting data" in negotiations for price increases to customers, even though labor and material costs have risen. ✅ It takes too long to calculate costs each month, preventing you from utilizing it for "real-time management decisions." ✅ There is a significant discrepancy between "standard costs" and "actual costs," and you are unable to grasp "which products are truly profitable." ■ What you will learn in this seminar - A "management decision-making framework" to immediately identify customers for price increases and products to withdraw based on real-time cost data. - How to create "data that convinces customers" by accurately understanding item-specific and lot-specific actual costs that serve as the basis for price increase margins. - How to avoid "failing due to high prices" and the specific approach to "small start" manufacturing industry DX from inventory management to cost management. > For more details, please refer to [Details of this news and application] below.

This event is a platform for sharing "real DX case studies" from companies of similar size, targeting managers and practitioners from small and medium-sized enterprises facing challenges in promoting DX.

[Recommended for] - Executives: Those who recognize DX as a profit-generating management strategy and want to improve their company's profits and productivity. - Field managers: Those seeking methods to reduce the burden on the field with new tools and reproducible know-how to eliminate dependency on individuals. - Field staff: Those who want to escape from paper and Excel tasks by implementing systems and achieve operational efficiency. - System personnel: Those who want to learn the roadmap from launching internal DX projects to establishing them in the field.
