Online Seminar on Building Strong Logistics Organizations

Overview

On September 3, 2026, Funai Consulting will host an online seminar titled "Learning from Advanced Companies: How to Accelerate Business through Logistics Organization Creation." This seminar is designed for professionals in manufacturing, retail, and wholesale sectors who are keen on enhancing their logistics strategies amidst rapidly changing regulations and market conditions.

Background

The logistics industry is currently facing swift transformations due to new regulations such as the Logistics Sustainability Law and the Trucking Reform Act. Many companies are struggling to comply with these overwhelming rules, often at the expense of developing a resilient supply chain. This seminar aims to shift the perspective from merely meeting regulatory requirements to viewing logistics as a vital business challenge that can drive growth and efficiency.

Seminar Program

The seminar will feature several key sessions:

Session 1: The Divergence Between Companies

In the opening lecture, participants will learn about the crucial divide between companies that merely comply with regulations and those who leverage supply chain efficiency as a competitive advantage. This session, led by Miki Tashiro from Funai Consulting, will provide insights drawn from real-world experiences of client support. Participants will discover the pivotal factors that determine success amidst regulatory pressures.

Session 2: Developing Strategic Logistics Talent

The second session will focus on the importance of nurturing strategic logistics talent. Renowned guest speaker Kazumi Hatatani from J-Oil Mills will share methods for transforming logistics departments, often viewed as cost centers, into value-creating entities. This discussion will cover essential practices and collaborative strategies that prioritize profitability and strategic alignment across different organizational departments.

Session 3: Panel Discussion on Regulatory Trends

A panel discussion will feature various stakeholders, including government representatives and logistics experts. This session will delve into recent regulatory developments, including the establishment of action plans by logistics stakeholders, and will provide firms with practical approaches to avoid pitfalls in compliance and oversight.

Closing Session: Actionable Takeaways

In the final segment, attendees will review key insights from the seminar and create actionable plans to implement in their companies. This recap will help prioritize their next steps and define what actions should take precedence.
