Upon the consolidation of Kawasaki Steel and NKK in April 2003, JFE Steel East Japan Works reorganized the production control departments of Chiba and Keihin Districts into the one department. By the new project, Re-1, which applied the solutions developed by JUST-Delivery, to the production control s in Keihin District, the foundation of production control s for unifi cation of production management at Chiba and Keihin Districts has been built. 1.
