Recently, due to geopolitical risks—including the situation in the Middle East—dealing with supply chain disruptions has become an unavoidable management challenge for companies.
While there is an urgent need to strengthen the procurement flow—from sourcing to purchasing—
many operations still lack an accurate understanding of the complex supply chain network, such as “which products are being delivered, from which suppliers, and via which locations.”
Many companies still rely on manual processes and Excel spreadsheets managed by individual staff members. This not only makes it impossible to immediately identify the scope of impact in the event of an emergency, but
also poses significant challenges from the perspective of internal controls.
In this seminar, we will welcome Mr. Murakami from Spectee, Inc., a provider of supply chain risk management services, as a guest speaker to discuss
the redesign of procurement processes starting with the visualization of risks.
While unraveling the realities of procurement issues stemming from the situation in the Middle East and other factors, we will introduce data management methods that eliminate manual data entry,
as well as the latest trends in building data platforms and utilizing AI in the automotive and semiconductor industries.
In the second half, we will delve into how to quickly and securely integrate visualized risk information into on-site operational workflows.
We will explore, from a practical perspective, how to accelerate alternative sourcing after risk detection and how to maintain an uninterrupted procurement workflow that ensures internal controls are upheld even during emergencies.
We will present a new approach to data integration that seamlessly connects the entire process—from “detection and organization” of information to “procurement execution.”
This is a valuable opportunity to learn practical approaches for moving away from analog management and building a procurement system resilient to unforeseen circumstances.
We sincerely look forward to your participation.
