Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Infor Japan K.K., the Japanese subsidiary of Infor, the industry cloud company, announced that NTN Corp., a manufacturer and seller of bearings, driveshafts and precision equipment, has rolled out its Infor WMS warehouse management system. Background
Since it was founded, the NTN Group has embraced its “Founders’ Spirit” (comprising a “Frontier Spirit,” which encourages it to keep challenging, and a “Coexistence and Co-prosperity Spirit,” which encourages it to develop together with society). With this in mind, it has expanded globally in line with its corporate philosophy of “We shall contribute to international society through creating new technologies and developing new products.” NTN is working to enhance the business foundations that underpin its operations so that it can continue delivering sustainable growth. It will do this by not only enhancing its fundamental technologies and core products, while expanding into new fields that take advantage of the core technologies it has developed over the years, but by also driving digital transformation (DX) to achieve more sophisticated business management and create new business models. Results
NTN adopted three Infor WMS modules for inbound, outbound, and logistics cost management at 52 sites across Japan including 17 regular warehouses, 3 automated warehouses and 32 plant shipping facilities. Simultaneous operation of all 52 sites was a prerequisite for the project because a range of departments would need to access all warehouses at the same time. Using iPads to efficiently conduct remote training and proficiency testing, the company succeeded in aligning operations at all sites.
Founded in 1918, NTN Corp. is a bearing manufacturer, headquartered in Nishi-ku, Osaka, with the fourth-largest market share globally. It manufactures and sells bearings, driveshafts and precision equipment. In the automotive industry, it boasts the world’s largest share of the hub-bearing market and the world’s second-largest share of the driveshaft market. Aiming to create what it calls a sustainable “NAMERAKA Society” where people can lead secure and fulfilling lives in harmony with nature, it applies its bearing technologies to a wide range of areas, including automobiles and industrial machinery, where it can contribute to energy savings through “nameraka” (smooth) operation of rotating mechanical parts.
