MISUMI Floow
MISUMI Floow revolutionizes the purchasing process for indirect materials in factories by providing products through optimized channels based on customer demand data. This total cost-down service streamlines order placement for procurement officers and visualizes inventory levels, leading to a 70% reduction in procurement time while achieving effective inventory management.
For high-frequency consumables, MISUMI partners with factories to supply vending machines that serve as a sort of 'dispenser' for essential items, likened to the traditional “Toys from Toyama” concept. The machine stock is classified as MISUMI assets, alleviating the burden of excess inventory. Additionally, the vending machines' retrieval process requires facial recognition or ID passes, preventing overuse and encouraging a culture of cost awareness among employees.
