Measures and initiatives for the 2024 problem: Logistics industry edition

In the logistics industry, the following measures are being considered in response to the 2024 issue:
1. Improvement of working conditions
Measures to improve drivers' working conditions include correcting long working hours, ensuring rest periods, and managing drivers' health. Additionally, the introduction of machinery that allows for easier handling of cargo, as well as parental leave and reduced working hours systems, are being promoted to create a work environment that is accessible to everyone, including women and the elderly, and to secure human resources.
2. Promotion of driver training and recruitment
This includes providing attractive working styles and setting appropriate wages, utilizing younger generations, women, and foreign workers.
3. Efficiency through IT implementation and utilization of autonomous driving technology
As part of efficiency improvements through IT systems, the scheduling, reception, and calling of truck loading and unloading have been systematized to reduce waiting times. There are reports of initiatives such as using AI for matching to develop optimal delivery plans and standardizing dispatch operations using the cloud.
With future advancements in autonomous driving technology, the realization of a driverless delivery system could potentially resolve the driver shortage. Flexible responsiveness is required.
