BML Reduces Working Hours by 7,619 with JAPAN AI Implementation

BML Achieves Significant Time Savings with JAPAN AI Integration

BML, a leader in the clinical testing sector, has successfully integrated JAPAN AI technology, resulting in a remarkable reduction of 7,619 working hours over just four months. While the company conducts around 100 million medical tests annually, the introduction of AI has streamlined their operations significantly.

Background and Objectives

BML specializes in clinical testing, covering various services such as blood tests, pathology assessments, and more recent ventures into genetic testing and drug development support. With a commitment to maintaining the infrastructure crucial for Japan's healthcare system, BML operates 24/7 and employs around 4,000 staff across multiple labs. The growing importance of IT in the company meant that inefficiencies related to vast manuals, access to testing data, system development, and creating documents had become critical challenges.

Three primary inefficiencies were identified prior to the adoption of JAPAN AI:
1. Information Search Inefficiencies: Employees often found it time-consuming to locate specific information amidst the extensive manuals and technical documents. Newcomers faced the additional challenge of discovering the whereabouts of key materials in the company.
2. Dependency on Experienced Staff for System Development: The reliance on seasoned professionals for coding reviews and debugging stifled the growth and standardization efforts among junior staff, leading to a lack of quality consistency.
3. Burden of Documentation: Significant time was allocated to drafting reports, proposals, and manuals. This process varied greatly in efficiency depending on the experience level of the employee handling inquiries.

Achievements after JAPAN AI Implementation

By leveraging JAPAN AI, BML managed to significantly enhance operational efficiency across various tasks, including information retrieval, coding, and document creation. Consequently, the company experienced a culture shift towards collaborative problem-solving enhanced by AI.

Over a brief period, the operational time reduction of 7,619 hours emphasizes the positive impact AI has made, leading to a more streamlined, standardized approach in their IT department.

Cultural Shift within the Organization

Approximately a year post-implementation, the cultural dynamics at BML have markedly transformed. Employees have increasingly adopted the mindset of consulting AI for information and assistance in tasks. Utilizing AI for drafting presentations, summarizing data, and proofreading has not only reduced project timelines but also significantly improved document quality.
