Localization: Supply Chain Optimization for Japanese OEMs
In the face of fluctuating fuel and transportation costs, transitioning to supply chain Localization is not only a safeguard for production but also a strategic move for cost optimization. The case study of our client - a leading industrial sewing machine OEM manufacturer - is a clear testament to this success.
1. Breakthrough Performance with TKG Uniflex Advanced Solutions
Expanding in the Vietnam market, our client developed a next-generation fabric-cutting machine (Multi-ply Auto cutter). They required a solution to replace the previous TKP cable carrier series, which was relatively noisy during operation. Having previously procured directly from Tsubaki Japan, they were initially hesitant about local sourcing.
Tsubaki Vietnam proposed the TKG Uniflex Advanced (Models 1455 & 1555) - a series featuring a unique link structure that delivered results beyond expectations:
-
Ultra-quiet Operation: Instantly reduced noise levels by 8dB compared to the TKP model.
-
Optimized Design: 25% lighter, enhancing system flexibility and reducing energy consumption.
-
Compact Footprint: Perfectly suited for modern machine designs with strict space requirements.
2. Supply Chain Strategy: Ensuring "Japanese Quality - Vietnam Speed"
The biggest challenge in transitioning to localization is maintaining price competitiveness equivalent to the Japanese market. Tsubaki Vietnam achieved this through two strategic commitments:
-
Smart Inventory Management (Stock based on Forecast): Based on the client's production forecast, Tsubaki maintains the necessary stock levels, completely eliminating the risk of supply chain disruptions and shortening delivery lead times.
-
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Optimization: Tsubaki adjusted pricing to its most optimal level, equivalent to the purchase price from Tsubaki Japan.
More than just a component supplier, Tsubaki provides End-to-End Motion Solutions, helping FDI enterprises optimize their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) right here in the local market.
