Join the Upcoming Seminar on Reducing Logistics Costs and Enhancing Quality Through Collaborative Distribution

Upcoming Seminar on Collaborative Distribution

On November 20, 2025, Funai Soken Logi, one of Japan's leading logistics consulting firms based in Chuo, Tokyo, will host an online seminar titled ‘Achieving Logistics Cost Reduction and Quality Improvement Through Collaborative Distribution’. This event aims to tackle the critical issues surrounding logistics costs while providing insights into effective implementation strategies.

Special Guest Speaker

The seminar will feature guest speakers from Japax Co., Ltd., a prominent shipping company headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, with branches in Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka. Japax has successfully reduced its logistics cost from 12% to 7% of revenue, showcasing effective practices in logistics management. The company primarily manufactures polyethylene garbage bags and has consistently increased its revenue through strategic logistical improvements.

In 2010, Japax identified several challenges including:
1. A high logistics cost ratio of 12% relative to revenue.
2. Non-strategic placement of logistics bases.
3. Lack of specialized personnel for logistics management.

After implementing collaborative distribution and reviewing logistics bases, Japax was able to cut logistics costs by approximately 100 million yen within one year. The upcoming seminar will present the concrete measures from that time to the present that can lead to substantial reductions in logistics expenses.

Target Audience

This seminar is particularly suited for:

- Individuals facing reduced profit margins due to shipping company constraints.
- Those who wish to lower logistics costs but are unsure of the methods to achieve this.
- Businesses struggling with shipping capacity limits from contracted logistics providers.
- Companies experiencing quality issues leading to customer complaints from current shipping partners.
- Organizations lacking dedicated personnel for logistics improvement.
- Prospects looking to implement collaborative distribution but unsure of which shipping companies to engage for assistance.
