Before the adoption of Platio, Toyotsu Recycle workers would handwrite reports on a designated form, which created problems such as a large amount of time spent on filling out the form, the difficulty reading handwriting and differences in the level of detail provided by workers. The paper-based reporting process also required them to understand and write down an incident, making it impossible to immediately take measures.
Toyotsu Recycle then overhauled the reporting process to address these issues and began considering an app-based reporting flow using smartphones and tablets; it decided to introduce Platio, which enables operational reforms led by frontline workers at a low cost and without the need for coding. Toyotsu Recycle's unique "Near Miss Reporting App" which records near miss incidents that occurred at factories was created by factory manager without programming experience in just three hours.
The number of reports made through the app has doubled compared to the time when the reports were made with papers. Also photos and videos can be attached to a record as visual information of near miss incidents. Reports are automatically sent to administrators via e-mail at the same time when they are recorded on the app, which speeds up the process of understanding the details of the incident and implementing improvement measures. The streamlining of the processes from reporting to data management has reduced the workload of administrators by 20 hours per month. The growth in the number of reports has made it possible to analyze trends in incidents that require more attention and to make effective operational improvements.
Besides Near Miss Reporting App, Toyotsu Recycle created 12 kinds of unique apps for factory operations, including "4S Check App" and "Pre-work Inspection App" for forklift use. These apps are being used by workers. The company intends to promote "on-site digital transformation (DX)," including digitization and streamlining of operations, by continuously creating original business apps that meet the needs of frontline workers.
- The Platio app has increased the number of reports and enhanced employee awareness of the importance for improvement. We sometimes receive similar reports from workers on the frontline, which helps us identify common issues in hazardous areas.
We have already created about 12 kinds of apps that fit various on-site operations, such as "4S Check App" and "Pre-work Inspection App". We will continue to improve cumbersome and inefficient on-site operations and promote on-site DX.Masayuki Ishii, manager of the Production and Logistics Department and
