In the context of the food industry and OEM, it is widely used for prototyping new products, limited sales, and production that keeps inventory risk down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general food OEM, where manufacturing is often from units of several hundred kg, small-lot handling has become a means of lowering the entry hurdle for sole proprietors and small and medium businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index__U_i0Izc\">Characteristics and background of small lots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Affinity with new businesses: easy to use for prototypes and test marketing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reduced inventory risk: production according to demand is possible without holding large inventory<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OEM needs: demand for finding a \u201csmall-lot maker\u201d is increasing for beverages, supplements, dried vegetables, and the like<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market background: with the increase of D2C brands and sole proprietors, demand for small-lot production is expanding<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technological progress: with the evolution of processing technology and equipment, cost-controlled production is becoming possible even on small-scale lines<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_fIGeNGvy\">Examples of using small lots at Agriture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In OEM of dried vegetables and vegetable powder, we handle small-lot manufacturing from units of several tens of kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Used for prototype requests for new products and small-scale production of seasonal limited products<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An effort to make small-lot trial sales possible by using off-grade vegetables<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Support for test exports in small-scale lots with an eye to exporting to overseas markets<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_NEg97VZo\">Related keywords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/word\/oem\/\" data-has-link=\"true\" rel=\"\">OEM<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Small-quantity production<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Test marketing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inventory risk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food manufacturing for sole proprietors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_Y9R4jdc3\">Related articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/oem\/small-oem\/\" data-has-link=\"true\" rel=\"\">Food OEM Starting from Small Lots: Points to Avoid Failure Even as a Sole Proprietor and Choosing a Manufacturer<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/oem\/powder-oem\/\" data-has-link=\"true\" rel=\"\">How to source commercial vegetable powder in small lots, and how to use it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/oem\/onion-powder\/\" data-has-link=\"true\" rel=\"\">A collection of ideas for using dried Kujo green onion powder<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"index_nMM9wgAt\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Q1. Does small-lot production have a high cost?<br>A. Yes. The unit price is higher than mass production, but because inventory risk decreases, there are many cases where a merit appears in total cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q2. From about what quantity is it called a \u201csmall lot\u201d?<br>A. It differs by industry and product, but in food OEM it often refers to from about several tens of kg to 100 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q3. About what small lot can Agriture handle?<br>A. It depends on the raw material, but for dried vegetables and powder, OEM handling from units of several tens of kg is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"genryo\" style=\"border-radius:18px;overflow:hidden;margin:40px 0;box-shadow:0 12px 34px rgba(20,49,31,.14)\">\n<div style=\"background:linear-gradient(140deg,#14311f,#2f6b46);padding:34px 32px 30px;color:#fff\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-size:12px;font-weight:800;letter-spacing:.14em;color:#ffd9a1\">FOR BUSINESS<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 14px;font-size:23px;font-weight:900;line-height:1.45\">\u4e7e\u71e5\u91ce\u83dc\u3092\u696d\u52d9\u7528\u3067\u304a\u63a2\u3057\u3067\u3059\u304b<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 24px;font-size:15.5px;line-height:1.95;color:#cfe0d5\">\u56fd\u7523\u306e\u91ce\u83dc\u30fb\u679c\u7269\u3092\u4e7e\u71e5\u3057\u3001\u5fc5\u8981\u306b\u5fdc\u3058\u3066\u7c89\u7815\u3057\u3066\u304a\u51fa\u3057\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002\u6271\u3063\u3066\u3044\u308b\u54c1\u76ee\u306f100\u7a2e\u524d\u5f8c\u3067\u3001\u898f\u683c\u306f <a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/product\/\" style=\"color:#ffd9a1;font-weight:700\">\u4e7e\u71e5\u54c1\u306e\u4e00\u89a7<\/a>\u30fb<a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/powder\/\" style=\"color:#ffd9a1;font-weight:700\">\u30d1\u30a6\u30c0\u30fc\u306e\u4e00\u89a7<\/a> \u306b\u63b2\u8f09\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;gap:12px;flex-wrap:wrap\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/contact\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#d8811f;color:#fff;font-weight:800;font-size:16px;padding:16px 32px;border-radius:999px;text-decoration:none;box-shadow:0 8px 20px rgba(0,0,0,.2)\">\u696d\u52d9\u7528\u30fb\u539f\u6599\u5378\u3092\u76f8\u8ac7\u3059\u308b<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/oyaoya-kyoto.com\/pages\/catalog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"display:inline-block;border:1.6px solid rgba(255,255,255,.6);color:#fff;font-weight:700;font-size:16px;padding:16px 26px;border-radius:999px;text-decoration:none\">\u5546\u54c1\u30ab\u30bf\u30ed\u30b0\u3092\u898b\u308b<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#f6f8f6;padding:16px 32px;font-size:13px;color:#4a564e;line-height:1.8\">\u5c11\u91cf\u3067\u306e\u3054\u8cfc\u5165\u306f\u3001\u59c9\u59b9\u30d6\u30e9\u30f3\u30c9\u306e\u901a\u8ca9\u30b5\u30a4\u30c8 OYAOYA \u3067\u627f\u3063\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":825,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"swell_btn_cv_data":"","ssp_meta_description":"\u5c0f\u30ed\u30c3\u30c8\u3068\u306f\u3001\u901a\u5e38\u306e\u5927\u91cf\u751f\u7523\u3084\u5927\u898f\u6a21\u767a\u6ce8\u3068\u306f\u7570\u306a\u308a\u3001\u5c11\u91cf\u304b\u3089\u88fd\u9020\u3084\u4ed5\u5165\u308c\u304c\u53ef\u80fd\u306a\u5f62\u614b\u3092\u6307\u3059\u8a00\u8449\u3067\u3059\u3002\u98df\u54c1\u696d\u754c\u3084OEM\u306e\u6587\u8108\u3067\u306f\u3001\u65b0\u5546\u54c1\u306e\u8a66\u4f5c\u3084\u9650\u5b9a\u8ca9\u58f2\u3001\u5728\u5eab\u30ea\u30b9\u30af\u3092\u6291\u3048\u305f\u751f\u7523\u306b\u5e83\u304f\u6d3b\u7528\u3055\u308c\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002","ssp_meta_keyword":"\u5c0f\u30ed\u30c3\u30c8","ssp_meta_canonical":"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/oem\/small-lot-oem\/","ssp_meta_robots":"","ssp_meta_title":""},"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-510","word","type-word","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-ingredient"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/word\/510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/word"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/word"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/825"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
