Case of Problem Solving

Large equipment and machinery imported from China. We proposed a method to transport and install it from port to factory safely.

Industry Manufacturing
Type of cargo Equipment and machinery
Purpose Transportation and installation
Transportation area Imported from China

A manufacturing customer imports large equipment and machinery from China. But they had several issues as they have very large equipment and need to transport it by land from the port to the factory, and then take it into and install it at the factory. So they consulted with us as we have a track record of various cases.

Problem
  • We considered a request from arrival at Port of Nagoya to delivery to the factory and installation.
  • The equipment was being installed on an upper floor not the first floor of the factory so we needed to consider how to install it.
Proposed solution
  • We obtained detailed information on the size, weight and shape of the large equipment and machinery.
  • We judged it would be effective to bring the equipment into the upper floor and install it through the outer doors of the upper floor of the building.
Results and effects
  • As we were using large, heavy machinery, etc., we observed work processes and worked prioritizing safety.
  • We were able to bring in and install the large equipment and machinery without any big problems.
The customer was looking for a way to deliver and install large equipment and machinery at their factory.
Problem

The customer was looking for a way to deliver and install large equipment and machinery at their factory.

The customer was thinking of importing large equipment and machinery from China, and we considered a request ranging from arrival at Port of Nagoya to delivery to the factory and installation. There were many issues as we were handling large equipment and machinery.

Would it be possible to arrange and implement delivery, unloading at the factory, and final installation? Also, since it was being installed on the upper floor and not the first floor of the factory, how should it be installed? Although there is a freight elevator in the factory, it could not be used due to the size and weight.

Under such conditions, we were asked to consider a feasible method.

We checked the local factory and calculated the work required one by one.
Proposed solution

We checked the local factory and calculated the work required one by one.

Firstly, we obtained detailed information on the size, weight and shape of the large equipment and machinery. Next, we consulted with partners such as carriers and machinists (local factory installers).

In addition, we went to the factory, inspected the site, and considered various measures. As a result, we were able to determine that there was no problem with transportation and unloading at the factory site.

For the problematic bringing in and installation on the upper floor, we judged it would be effective to bring the equipment in through the outer doors of the upper floor of the building. As a result of proposing and explaining all of the processes to the customer, we were able to obtain approval, and implementation was determined.

We were able to complete the marine and land transportation of the large equipment and machinery, get it into the factory and install it in the designated locations.
Results and effects

We were able to complete the marine and land transportation of the large equipment and machinery, get it into the factory and install it in the designated locations.

Before implementation, we had detailed meetings with the customer and prepared work processes in line with the safety measures at the factory. When taking the equipment in on the day, as we were using large, heavy machinery, etc., we observed work processes and worked prioritizing safety.

As a result, we were able to bring in and install the large equipment and machinery without any big problems. The customer praised us highly for completing the entire process of transportation, delivery and installation in the designated locations safely and smoothly.
