Seminar Details

On June 23, 2026, Funai Consulting's Supply Chain Consulting division will host a free online seminar titled "Logistics Trends and Compliance Strategies: A Comprehensive Guide for Logistics Personnel". Aimed at logistics professionals and executives within manufacturing, wholesale, and retail businesses, this seminar is tailored to address the pressing needs of the logistics sector.

Background for the Event

The logistics industry is currently undergoing rapid changes, driven primarily by the so-called "2026 Problem" and the urgent need to adapt to recent legal reforms. Many individuals newly assigned to logistics units express uncertainty about where to start, while others, particularly designated clients, struggle with obligations related to medium- to long-term planning and regular reporting.

To support these professionals, our seminar will provide a systematic overview of logistics trends, equipping attendees with the necessary knowledge and actionable insights. We aim to present specific action steps tailored to both designated and non-designated clients, along with improvement ideas derived from case studies in the industry, fostering sustainable logistics efficiency.

Target Audience

This seminar is ideal for:

• - Individuals recently assigned to logistics roles due to personnel changes.
• - Those looking to understand preparations required to comply with logistics efficiency law reforms.
• - Designated clients needing guidance on medium- to long-term planning and regular reporting.
• - Participants seeking inspiration from industry case studies to improve their own logistics operations.
• - Executives tasked with enhancing logistics efficiency but unsure where to start.
• - Non-designated clients wanting to proactively improve internal structures and field operations in anticipation of future challenges.

Why Attend This Seminar?

The seminar features expert insights on vital logistics challenges and effective responses to the 2026 Problem, ensuring participants grasp key issues and legislation relevant to their roles. Understanding the risks associated with administrative guidance is also crucial for shaping future improvement initiatives.

Additionally, the seminar will share real-world case studies illustrating how different entities have navigated compliance with the Logistics Efficiency Act. Attendees will learn concrete steps for practical implementation, as well as how to promote on-site improvements as required by non-designated clients.
