Nippon Generic is a generic drug manufacturing company of the Nippon Chouzai Group, and supplies more than 600 generic drugs to medical institutions and pharmacies across the country, aiming to become a generic manufacturer that supports medical care in Japan.
The company launched a tool to build a business system in May 2021 in order to streamline the exchange of various information such as delivery dates and shipping with about 40 outsourced manufacturing companies using paper or Excel data. We adopted a certain Business b-ridge.

■Problems
Japan Generic has had the following problems for many years.

• It took a lot of time to send order information to outsourced manufacturing companies, provide delivery dates, and enter shipping details.
• Entering information into the core system was manual and required a lot of effort.

■Priority issues
During the implementation, we focused on overcoming the following issues.

• The company's complex manufacturing outsourcing business processes are realized on the system.
• Streamline business processes and reduce workload
• You can receive support from the provider with a view to linking with the core system.

■Introduction effects
By introducing Business b-ridge, we were able to achieve the following:

• Reducing communication and reconfirmation with manufacturing subcontractors and manual input into core systems by 89 hours per month
• Business processes no longer depend on individuals, making it easier to track past history
• Manufacturing contract companies are also realizing the benefits of centrally managing information on interactions.

■Customer comments
Business b-ridge allows us to directly communicate information with our subcontractors through Business b-ridge, which has made our work more efficient, as we have been able to communicate delivery dates and enter shipping details into the production management system, which had previously been done manually.
Our business department is satisfied with this change as it has reduced the workload. Additionally, the system has been favorably received by the people in charge at the subcontractors, as they are now able to centrally manage order information (order forms, invoices, etc.).
