Online Seminar on Sustainable Supply Chain Management

A pivotal online seminar titled "Sustainable Supply Chain Management Decision-Making: SCM Reform to Double Profits and Cyber Security Measures to Protect Businesses" will take place on April 23, 2026, hosted by JBCC Corporation. This event will feature executive officer Yoshizumi Nakano from Funai Consulting's Supply Chain Consulting division as a special guest.

Background of the Seminar

Supply Chain Management (SCM) reform is a core challenge that contemporary executives face, directly impacting corporate profitability through demand forecasting, supply-demand adjustments, and production and procurement planning. Organizations may encounter risks such as diminished cash flow due to excessive inventory and reduced profit margins from lost sales opportunities if reform efforts stall. Moreover, the increasing globalization and digitalization of supply chains have heightened the threats of cyberattacks, potentially leading to business disruptions and diminished social credibility. This seminar aims to outline the keys to making strategic decisions that create competitive advantages through both "Proactive SCM Reform" and "Cyber Resilience," which are essential for a sustainable supply chain framework.
