An indispensable element in implementing 3PL is the relationship of trust that we develop with our client companies. Based on this conviction, we disclose all aspects of the contents by which realize the unique improvement. In addition, we ask our customers to provide us with information that is essential for implementing 3PL. We do this because we believe a “total optimization” of the supply chain is possible only by sharing various issues with our clients.
Improving logistics efficiency through 3PL
While the reduction of logistics costs has been the primary objective of 3PL until recently, customers have also been increasingly demanding solutions that help to improve logistics quality and reduce their environmental damages. Based on research, analysis, building, and implementation in the logistics process, the Nichirei Logistics Group is able to achieve cost reductions as well as improvements in logistics quality that were not possible through individual optimization.
- Current logistics
- Resulted individual optimization (Redundancy in the network from transport to distribution occurs).
- Nichirei Logistics Group’s
logistics solutions -
By disclosing ideas and possibilities for improvement to our customers to achieve total optimization and by sharing current issues, we are able to make unique proposals.。
- Research
- We research current logistics processes implemented by our customers.
- Analysis
- Based on the results of our research, we conduct a range of analyses and simulations.
- Drawing solutions
- We create a new logistics scheme with total optimization and information systems required for the scheme.
- Execution
- We make sure the new scheme is firmly realized. We develop additional improvement measures.
- Logistics after the implementation of 3PL
- Pursuit of overall optimization. (Make your network from transport to delivery smoother and more compact.)

※3PL operations have been designated as a method for preventing global warming in the November 2005 cabinet resolution “Comprehensive Program of Logistics Policies.”
A case study
By making use of logistics infrastructures that multiple corporations have built independently, we are able to reduce the number of trucks in operation, overall mileage, and distribution costs.
