Background and Seminar Overview
With logistics costs continuing to rise, maintaining current operations risks accumulating inefficiencies, making the review of small-lot, high-frequency deliveries an urgent priority for many companies.
This seminar will combine Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.'s shared distribution DX platform with Funai Soken SC's supply chain consulting expertise to provide a detailed explanation of the steps required to implement 'regular shared distribution'—a solution that reduces costs and builds a stable delivery network, even for small-lot shipments.
The seminar offers practical content tailored for companies facing challenges such as reaching the limits of in-house fleets, struggling to find shared distribution partners or negotiate terms, or seeking compliance with the revised Comprehensive Logistics Efficiency Law (Logistics Efficiency Law) through CO2 emissions visibility.
Recommended for Companies Facing These Challenges
- Frequent empty or half-loaded trucks and idle time, with small-lot, high-frequency deliveries eroding profitability - Growing concerns over route delivery quality and delivery delays, making reliance on standard route services unsustainable - Recognizing the limitations of in-house delivery fleets but unsure how to find shared distribution partners or manage coordination - Unclear on how to implement CO2 emissions visibility
