Funai Consulting Supply Chain Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Naoyuki Hashimoto) will hold a free online seminar titled 'Thorough Explanation of Logistics Trends and Countermeasures for the Amended Logistics Efficiency Act That Logistics Managers Must Know' for logistics managers of shipper companies on Thursday, May 14, 2026.
■ Background of the Seminar
Currently, the logistics industry is in the midst of a radical upheaval, facing the "2026 Problem" following the "2024 Problem," as well as stricter regulations due to the revision of the Logistics Efficiency Act. Shipper companies, in particular, are strongly required not only to comply with legal obligations such as "creating a medium-to-long-term plan" and "appointing a Chief Logistics Officer (CLO)" as specified shippers, but also to make effective on-site improvements.
This seminar systematically explains the latest industry trends and successful case studies from other companies. It is aimed at everyone from newly appointed managers who "don't know where to start due to personnel changes" to supervisors who want to know "concrete practical responses to legal amendments."
