The environment surrounding the supply chain of manufactures has continued to undergo major changes, such as the increasing complexity of business management due to globalization, the diversification of distribution channels, and the shortening of delivery times. Under such circumstances, it would be fair to say that a company’s competitiveness depends on how advanced its supply chain management (SCM) infrastructure is constructed. Now, what do we need to build such advanced SCM?
In this webinar, we will introduce "SCM strategies to enhance competitiveness and adapt to environmental risks, starting from digitalization", based on the knowledge of experts and company case studies.

There is No Wait for Supply Chain DX: The Essence of New Competition is “Co-creation and Self-Driving”
It is obvious that manufactures are struggling with DX that requires even more value unique to digitalization, while they have not yet made progress in adopting SCM, a management reform based on digitalization.
However, in the IT services industry and elsewhere, the essence of competition is shifting from traditional QCD to “co-creation and self-driving”. The manufacturing industry and distribution industry should also promote DX. It is also essential preparation for participating in this shift.
