Logistics
Distribution costs are on the rise due to shortage of truck drivers.
Sales in food segment are growing (increase in volume) but distribution cost is declining on a non-consolidated basis.
We are investing in distribution optimization and controlling distribution costs by consolidating warehouses and reviewing delivery routes.
In FYE March 2017, we reorganize and consolidate our warehouses in the Kanto region.
Kanto region is an active trade area and has high volume. Different from the optimization in Chubu region, we optimize the distribution for chilled products and room temperature products separately.
In the first half of this FY, we consolidated warehouses for chilled products. Now we are working on the distribution optimization of room temperature products.
