Navigating Construction Sector in Japan
Lacking Skilled Workforce in Japan's Construction
- Japan's aging population is creating a shortage in the workforce, with statistics showing that one-third of workers are above 55 years old. The sector is struggling to recruit younger employees.
- Diversifying recruitment strategies offers a path forward. Incorporating technology and investing in training can mitigate workforce gaps and attract younger talent keen to shape their environment.
Rising Material Costs Pressuring Profits
- Sharp increases in material costs have become a pressing issue, escalating by over 20% in recent years. This erodes profitability margins and raises budget challenges for new projects.
- Implementing innovative procurement strategies alongside promoting sustainable materials minimizes financial stress. These approaches tap indirectly into eco-efficient construction flourishing in Japan.
Tapping into Japan's Green Construction Wave
- Japan is championing green construction, targeting a 50% reduction of CO2 emissions by 2030. Providing lucrative potential, this shift molds future market dynamics substantially.
- Exploring energy-efficient construction and leveraging mold-breaking technologies cater to evolving market needs. Capitalizing ensures alignment with governmental environmental ambitions.
Infrastructure Developments Leading Mandarin Growth
- Substantial public and private investment in infrastructure, including the growing trend toward smart cities, opens new landscapes. Such developments portend a 15% market growth by 2025.
- Harnessing the potential of cutting-edge technologies and integrative engineering supports harmonious infrastructure advancement aligning with rapid urban expansion requirements.

オペレーション診断に基づく 需要予測高度化の方向性と 経営貢献
不確実性の高い環境下では、需要予測はS&OPを支える戦略的なケイパビリティとなっています。予測精度は、システムやモデルの高度化だけでなく、プランナーのスキルや組織文化にも左右されます。診断フレームワークを活用することで、改善すべきポイントを的確に特定し、意思決定の俊敏性を高めることが可能となります。
サプライチェーンの環境変化と これからの需要予測
世界のサプライチェーンは、混乱リスクの高まり、サステイナビリティへの要請、地政学的リスクの顕在化に直面しており、リーン型モデルの限界が明らかになりつつあります。本ホワイトペーパーでは、レジリエンスとアジリティをサプライチェーン・マネジメント（SCM）の中核的な目的として位置付けています。あわせて、AIを活用した可視性の向上、需要予測の高度化、ならびに精度そのものではなく意思決定の実効性に重点を置いたS&OPの重要性を示しています。
社会インフラ領域における テクノロジー活用の未来
老朽化するインフラ資産、人手不足、安全性への要求の高まりを背景に、インフラ分野ではAI、IoT、ロボティクスの導入が進みつつあります。物理的な現場を伴う領域では導入に時間を要するものの、物流、保守・点検、安全管理を横断してテクノロジーを統合することで、組織の成熟度や現場の受容性に即した形で効率性とレジリエンスの向上が期待されます。
