ANA x Dataiku x Seino Information Service: Practical Case Studies on Connecting Logistics Data to Management Decisions

Seino Information Service Co., Ltd. hosted a seminar themed 'Logistics Data Utilization in the AI Era,' featuring speakers from Dataiku Japan Co., Ltd. and All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. (ANA). While vast amounts of data are accumulated in logistics operations daily, few companies successfully leverage this data for management decision-making. This seminar explored approaches to data utilization in the AI era and discussed initiatives for companies to achieve data-driven management through concrete case studies.

Initiatives to Enhance Management Decisions Through Data Utilization Dataiku Japan introduced cases where integrating scattered data across logistics areas—such as demand forecasting, inventory placement, and transport planning—improved the quality and speed of decision-making. They explained how utilizing logistics data as a management metric, rather than just for operational improvement, leads to cost structure transparency and more sophisticated decision-making. Next, All Nippon Airways (ANA) discussed methods for embedding data utilization within large organizations, key points for talent development, and the challenges they faced. Their insights into cross-industry data utilization and practical knowledge for promoting DX across organizations provided valuable takeaways for participants. Finally, Seino Information Service presented the concept of information-driven logistics, which visualizes management risks hidden in inventory, shipments, and operational loads to enable proactive measures. They explained how analyzing logistics data can be applied directly to management decisions, including demand forecasting and inventory optimization, beyond simple operational efficiency. Considering Data Utilization in the AI Era In the second half, a panel discussion covered a wide range of topics, including measuring the effectiveness of AI and approaches to ROI. Participants emphasized that beyond simple cost reduction or revenue growth, indirect outcomes such as improved customer experience and employee productivity should also be prioritized. The discussion also addressed how to balance short-term results with long-term growth and how to bridge the gap between operational data and management decisions, supported by specific examples.
