[For Retailers] SCM Reform for the 2028 'Proper Cost System': Funai Soken Supply Chain Consulting Releases Guide on 'Demand-Forecast Push Logistics'

Funai Soken Supply Chain Consulting (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Naoyuki Hashimoto) has released a guide for retail companies titled 'Supply Chain Reform for the 2028 "Proper Cost System": A Shift to Predictive Push Logistics for Retail Survival.'

Background of the Release
With the 'Proper Cost System' scheduled for 2028, dramatic changes in freight rate determination rules are expected. This represents a critical management issue with a major impact on retail business operations.
As traditional price negotiations may no longer be effective, it is anticipated that failing to improve loading and utilization rates will make it difficult to manage rising costs. As a countermeasure, initiatives toward 'Predictive Push Delivery' are becoming essential.

Main Content of the Guide
- Dramatic changes in freight rate rules and approaches to planned logistics, procurement strategy, and organizational strategy.
- A shift to 'Push-Type Delivery' as a measure to maximize loading rates for logistics efficiency.
- Building and defining the roles of an 'ideal organizational structure' to complete the transformation.
This guide comprehensively covers from the transformation process to 'Predictive Push Delivery'—designed to respond to external environmental changes and maximize loading rates—to the roles of an 'ideal organization' that integrates merchandising (MD) and store operations, all from a practical perspective. It offers concrete measures to build a sustainable SCM (Supply Chain Management) structure and support future business expansion.
