For the Nichirei Group, DX involves data technology-driven business transformation activities linked to its five material matters. We began implementing DX initiatives in FY2022.
To raise the awareness of employees, we will launch a new portal site focusing on our DX activities and conduct DX training for each Group employee to acquire digital literacy. By promoting DX throughout the Group, we will help to innovate existing work, generate new work and resolve supply chain issues, among other benefits. Through these measures, we aim to realize the Nichirei Group Vision.
We will utilize data and digital technology to create new businesses that contribute to good eating habits and a longer healthy life expectancy, and to offer a more valuable experience for customers. Through initiatives that go beyond our own industry, we also aim to build new ecosystems and work to monetize them.
We will work to implement automation using IoT, AI, robotics and other methods, and for overall optimization to link factories and warehouses in areas such as ascertaining production volume at factories and incoming, outgoing and storage volume at refrigerated warehouses. We will also work to achieve optimal equipment operation and maintenance that mobilizes our factory and warehouse management know-how, and to conduct all-inclusive control of multiple sites.
We will work to create a sustainable supply chain by collecting, managing and analyzing information on the sustainability of our suppliers and all other parties involved in the supply chain.
We will deploy the right human resources to the right places in the Company. At the same time, we will improve work efficiency by promoting cooperation with external human resources.
We will collect, manage and analyze internal and external data to be converted into valuable information, and provide that information to management in a timely manner for speedy decision-making.
