The special site "Production Management Navigation" operated by Otsuka Shokai publishes various helpful columns, ranging from basic explanations about production management systems to the digital utilization and DX promotion in manufacturing. This time, we will present "What Should Production Management Look Like in Small and Medium-sized Manufacturing Enterprises." In today's rapidly accelerating trend of IT and DX, many companies are once again focusing on production management. However, simply implementing a production management system does not guarantee progress in IT and DX. The true goal of a company is not merely "to introduce a system," but rather to improve productivity, quality, and overall operational efficiency in production management itself. The system is merely a means of production management, and there are many tasks to be addressed both before and after its implementation. We will explain what production management should look like in small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, as well as introduce the systematization of production management necessary for a positive cycle of human resources and specific approaches to take.
