Nichirei Foods Launches Full-Scale Operation of Supply Chain Risk Management Service 'Resilire'

Resilire Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yudai Tsuda) and Nichirei Foods Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Masahiko Takenaga; hereinafter 'Nichirei Foods') are pleased to announce the full-scale implementation of the supply chain risk management service 'Resilire' at Nichirei Foods.

Background and Objectives The food industry relies on raw materials—agricultural, livestock, and marine products—that are highly susceptible to natural environments, making it extremely vulnerable to natural disasters and livestock diseases. Furthermore, due to the concentration of production regions, inventory constraints for freshness, and the immediacy of demand, the industry structure is prone to cascading disruptions from the upstream to the downstream of the supply chain.

To address these industry-specific challenges and maintain a stable supply to customers, Nichirei Foods decided to adopt Resilire early on and has been building a foundation for stable supply. The company has now expanded the scope of use, including procurement items and facilities, to further strengthen its system for rapidly assessing the impact across the entire supply chain.

Expected Benefits of Using Resilire **Enhancing 'Stable Supply Systems' through Supply Chain Visualization** By efficiently managing supplier data and visualizing the supply chain in a tree structure, the company can accelerate risk assessment and identify the scope of impact, enabling higher-precision risk management during both normal and emergency situations.

**Accelerating Risk Detection and Impact Confirmation** Real-time detection of risk information, such as earthquakes and typhoons, which have a significant impact on the food industry. The system automatically identifies potentially affected facilities and items from a vast number of procurement items, speeding up initial response.

**Efficiency through Centralized Information Management** Centralizing scattered supply chain information in the cloud. By digitizing tasks—particularly impact investigations and information gathering during emergencies—the system reduces the burden on staff and supports rapid, accurate management decision-making.

Comment from Yuki Yamamoto, Managing Executive Officer, Nichirei Foods Inc. 'Food is made from raw materials closely linked to the natural environment; if a problem occurs anywhere in the supply chain, it can instantly affect consumers' tables. That is why a system that visualizes the supply chain and links it to risk information to quickly grasp "where the impact will occur" is extremely important in the food industry. With the full-scale operation of Resilire, we intend to evaluate and prepare for procurement vulnerabilities during normal times, and make rapid decisions during emergencies to fulfill our responsibility of delivering products to consumers stably.'

Comment from Yudai Tsuda, CEO, Resilire Inc. 'We are honored that Nichirei Foods, which supports global food supplies, has moved to full-scale operation of Resilire. The food industry is constantly exposed to external risks that are difficult to control, such as climate change and disease. Once the supply chain is disrupted, it has a major impact directly on people's lives. By expanding the scope of use and transitioning to full-scale operation, we are committed to supporting a more extensive and robust...'
