Reconsidering ECRS: Towards Sustainable Logistics

Reconsidering ECRS: Towards Sustainable Logistics

From now on, it is necessary to utilize ECRS not only for efficiency but also to promote the sustainability of logistics.

In many manufacturing and distribution industries, the efficient operation of logistics is a crucial factor that influences a company's competitiveness. Therefore, many companies are engaged in improvement activities aimed at achieving more efficient logistics. A commonly used framework in these improvement activities is called "ECRS." This is also known as the four principles of improvement, which generalizes and organizes methods for efficiency in various operations, not limited to logistics. ECRS can be considered principles that promote efficiency, and by implementing improvement measures that incorporate these elements, companies are said to enhance productivity and achieve cost reduction and strengthened competitiveness. *For more details on the blog, you can view it through the related links.

Necessary considerations for the appointment of a CLO

Necessary considerations for the appointment of a CLO

A blog explaining the necessary measures for shippers to function effectively with CLO!

Finally, the regulations on overtime work in the logistics industry have begun, and the shipping companies, logistics providers, and receiving companies will collaborate to further improve the appropriateness of logistics and enhance productivity. The "Guidelines for Initiatives by Shippers and Logistics Providers for the Appropriateness of Logistics and Productivity Improvement," issued by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in June 2023, particularly require shippers to appoint a person (such as an executive) to oversee and manage logistics operations comprehensively within their organization to implement initiatives for the appropriateness of logistics and productivity improvement. In this article, I would like to clarify the role of the Chief Logistics Officer (CLO) and outline the necessary responses for shippers to ensure the CLO functions effectively. *For more details, please refer to the related links.

The ability to effectively use AI will become a central business competency.

The ability to effectively use AI will become a central business competency.

Logistics DX is accelerating! Whether or not you can effectively use AI is the dividing line.

When picking up keywords from popular articles in our recent logistics blog, themes such as "2024 issue," "COVID-19 pandemic," "fire prevention measures," "international transportation," "energy conservation," "health-related accidents," "personnel evaluation," "work style reform," "truck freight rates," and "traffic safety measures" emerge, highlighting various pressing topics. Here, we will consider this from a slightly different perspective. How have those working in the logistics industry gained insights on urgent themes and topics of interest? In other words, what methods have traditionally been used to gather information? The conventional approach involved searching for related information scattered across the internet, such as blog articles and news sites. It was likely a "web search" method where insights were gained by taking the time to read and compare numerous articles found through searches. *For more detailed content from the blog, please refer to the related links.

[Jobtan Introduction Case] Nakayo Corporation

[Jobtan Introduction Case] Nakayo Corporation

An example of visualizing the movements of water purification in a cell production line (parts supply operations).

We would like to introduce a case where "Jobtan" has been implemented at Nakayo Co., Ltd., which is involved in the manufacturing of communication equipment. The company has been analyzing the movements of workers to improve the productivity of production cells, but they had not been able to grasp the current situation of indirect operations, specifically the water management tasks. As a result of the implementation, they were able to understand the work content, work time, and movement range of the water management tasks, which were previously not visible from an external perspective. [Results] ■ It became clear that tasks that should not take much time were taking longer, and that certain staff members were experiencing a heavy workload, allowing for the consideration of improvement measures. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Easy! Create complicated manuals with AI!

Easy! Create complicated manuals with AI!

Create a "basic framework" for the work manuals of the warehousing and manufacturing industries using AI.

A manual (procedure document) for business is essential for standardizing operations and improving efficiency. However, creating a manual can be surprisingly challenging. It involves identifying work processes, refining the text for clarity, and designing a layout that is easy to read. Doing this in the midst of daily tasks can be time-consuming, and it is not uncommon for processes to be added or updated while the manual is still being created. The core reason for the difficulty lies in the fact that identifying work processes is a challenging task, but a significant factor is also the time spent on creating the "basic framework" regarding the format and structure of the manual. If we have a framework in place, it should be relatively easy to create the manual in a fill-in-the-blank style. Therefore, I would like to have AI create the "basic framework for the manual." *For more details about the blog, you can view it through the related links.

Industries face the 2024 issue: Regarding the formulation of voluntary action plans.

Industries face the 2024 issue: Regarding the formulation of voluntary action plans.

Explanation of the "policy package for logistics innovation" and the "voluntary action plans" for commercial types and fields.

The 2024 issue facing the logistics industry may limit truck drivers' overtime hours, which could have a serious impact on the overall operational efficiency of the industry. In response to this issue, the government has announced a "policy package for logistics innovation," aiming to optimize the operational efficiency across the entire industry. In light of this, 27 industry organizations have developed "voluntary action plans" based on the government's policy package to address the issue. This article analyzes the efforts of various industries to shorten transportation times, evaluates each organization's "voluntary action plan" from the author's perspective, and offers personal suggestions. *For more details about the blog, please refer to the related links.

What are the obstacles to promoting DX in the logistics industry?

What are the obstacles to promoting DX in the logistics industry?

A clear explanation of issues related to initial costs and running costs!

The "Comprehensive Logistics Policy Outline (2021-2025)," which is the foundation of Japan's current logistics policy, states that "the thorough optimization of the entire supply chain through the promotion of logistics DX and logistics standardization (achieving simple and smooth logistics)" is the first pillar. However, according to the 2023 DX White Paper, the actual situation is that the logistics industry's DX initiatives are less than 20%, which is low compared to other industries. Additionally, a survey conducted in March 2021 found that over 60% of logistics operators do not plan to pursue DX initiatives in the future. Why is that? *For more details, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for more information.*

Efforts to ensure the safety of elderly individuals in the warehousing industry.

Efforts to ensure the safety of elderly individuals in the warehousing industry.

To prevent labor accidents among the elderly and ensure employment. An explanation of the elderly population and employment conditions.

Recently, I have been seeing a lot of content on the internet focused on securing funds for retirement. It seems that many conclusions suggest that "working as long as possible" is a fundamental strategy for securing retirement funds. The reasons for elderly people continuing to work in society are not solely for financial support; rather, they may include personal motivations such as "working is good for health," "it prevents aging," "the work itself is interesting," and "it allows them to utilize their knowledge and skills." From my own observations, I feel that in recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in the presence of elderly individuals who appear to be working on morning and evening commuter trains. In fact, reports indicate that the number of elderly workers has been steadily increasing. Amidst the issues of labor shortages due to declining birth rates and an aging population, elderly workers are becoming increasingly valuable. *For more details about the blog, you can view it through the related links.

Lecture Report: Women's Contributions in the Field of Logistics

Lecture Report: Women's Contributions in the Field of Logistics

Explaining why female managers are necessary and the barriers women face in aspiring to management positions!

On February 16, 2024, I participated in the hybrid event: CRE Forum, the 100th commemorative symposium on "The Role of Women in the Logistics Field," and I would like to report on its content. The empowerment of women literally means enabling women to thrive, but it does not necessarily refer to women aiming for or becoming managers. "Diversity" includes not only diversity in gender, age, race, nationality, disability status, sexual orientation, religion, beliefs, and values, but also diversity in career, experience, and work styles. *For more details on the blog content, please refer to the related links.

Series NX Research Institute President Talks About 6 New President History and Greetings

Series NX Research Institute President Talks About 6 New President History and Greetings

Introduction and a blog post about the air cargo industry at the end of the Showa era!

Our blog started in May 2015 with a post by the then-president titled "Nittsu Research Institute Newsletter - Rojitasu." In that blog, it was mentioned, "The other day, I stopped by an izakaya run by a former professional baseball player. As usual, I started with a beer. The mug I held had the phrase 'You have to swing the bat for hits to be born' printed on it. We swing the bat, but for our readers, it may be difficult to find articles that are truly hits. Could you bear with us a little? Occasionally, there might be a well-hit ball that flies out. We hope you will join us." I don't know how many hits have been made so far, but I have also decided to carry on the spirit of my predecessors. Although I am not very good at writing, I have resolved to write a blog from time to time. This time, I would like to share a self-introduction and reminisce about the air cargo industry during the end of the Showa era, recalling memories that I had almost forgotten. I would be grateful if you could spend some time with me. *For more details about the blog, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for more information.*

Series NX Research Institute President Speaks: 'Suspicion of Espionage'

Series NX Research Institute President Speaks: 'Suspicion of Espionage'

Two missing trucks and the Iraqi secret police! Detailed introduction on the blog.

One thing that is unimaginable in peaceful Japan is that in socialist countries, countries with high conflict risks, and countries at war, it is prohibited to take photographs of military bases, as well as important infrastructure such as airports, ports, bridges, and dams. At the Vostochny Port in Russia, border guards (KGB = Soviet Committee for State Security, which includes intelligence agencies and border guards) stand guard with Kalashnikov rifles slung over their shoulders under the gangway of a moored vessel, and I was warned by an agency representative that if I carelessly took photos of the port, I could be shot. *For more details about the blog, please refer to the related links.

Employment situation of people with disabilities in the logistics industry and considerations for implementing telework.

Employment situation of people with disabilities in the logistics industry and considerations for implementing telework.

Telework and workplace environment improvements! We will focus on people with disabilities within the context of diversity.

Diversity refers to the concept of accepting differences in race, gender, preferences, values, beliefs, and more, and striving to realize the potential of diverse human resources. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry defines diversity management as "management that creates innovation and leads to value creation by utilizing diverse human resources and providing opportunities for their abilities to be maximally demonstrated." It states that "the active participation of diverse human resources is essential for the sustainable growth of the Japanese economy, as it helps secure talent in the context of a declining birthrate and aging population, and enhances the ability to respond to diversifying market needs and risks." "Diverse human resources" include not only gender, age, race, nationality, disability status, sexual orientation, religion and beliefs, and values, but also diversity related to career, experience, and work styles. *For more details, please refer to the related links.

Efforts to conserve electricity in warehouses and logistics centers.

Efforts to conserve electricity in warehouses and logistics centers.

Introducing the items you should check again to avoid the impact of rising electricity prices!

Recently, we are encountering newspaper articles and news reports about rising prices almost every day. The impact on households is significant, but the effect on businesses is also considerable. Naturally, the logistics industry is directly and severely affected. Tokyo Shoko Research Co., Ltd. published information on corporate bankruptcies for the year 2022 (January to December) on January 16, 2023, under the headline "Bankruptcies in the Road Freight Transport Industry Surge Over 40% Year-on-Year, with a Quarter Due to Rising Fuel Costs and Other Price Increases." In the case of the road freight transport industry, it is easy for anyone to imagine that the rise in fuel costs (prices of diesel and gasoline) is directly linked to increased costs. Regarding crude oil, which is the source of fuel, prices continue to soar and remain high due to various factors, including OPEC's decision to maintain production levels amid rising crude oil demand, international situations such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the depreciation of the yen in foreign exchange markets. *For more detailed information, you can view it through the related links.
