The Benefits : Real-Time Tracking and Improved
Productivity
The combination of wireless local area network
(WLAN) enabled hand-held computers, and bar
code technologies have helped to streamline Toyota
Autoparts Philippines's manufacturing processes.
"The Traceability System combined with the
automating of the bar code system has helped
Toyota Autoparts Philippines to shave off 30 to 50
percent of the monitoring and data entry of
production output by team members, " said
Baltazar.
By creating a more seamless flow of continuous,
accurate documentation on machine conditions and
materials, Toyota Autoparts Philippines now
experiences fewer errors and has improved
productivity.
"Mobility is highly improved, as users carry the
Motorola MC9090G mobile computers as they
work. They do not need to be in one place, but can
go back and forth and still send data back to the
database. Hard copy documents are minimized,
since information is directly stored in the system, "
said Baltazar.
Toyota Autoparts Philippines has also experienced
greater transparency and availability of information
regarding the components and raw materials that
make up the final product. This has allowed Toyota
Autoparts Philippines to quickly trace and
immediately address any concerns regarding the
quality of the product. And in the event of a
defective product, to quickly trace the component
responsible and from there trace the product
batches that are affected.
"This system has enabled any defective parts to be
easily traced to its "root" and avoid any possible
customer claims due to defects. From the point
of the initial process to the finished product, our
system can trace the batches or group which may
possibly contain defects, " said Baltazar.
"This has helped to ease our tracking of defects, as
each component has its own barcode. Previously,
when a product is defective, the whole batch is
under question. "
Going forward, Toyota Autoparts Philippines is
looking at its warehousing procedures, and plans
to integrate that with the company's ERP system,
and to make use of the bar coding system for their
issuance and receiving of items.
