What Our Clients Say About Us

We usually work with Japanese consulting company and from their report, we can be a “book smart” but can’t have a clear picture of what’s going on in the real market. The project with YCP brought us “real market experience”. YCP's local consultants got their hands dirty in the marketplace with me. This approach enabled me to understand critical consumer insights behind data. I found it very valuable experience. Thank you very much."

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。

安全管理における課題と テクノロジー活用
産業・建設現場では、安全リスクが依然として高い水準にある一方、ESGへの対応や説明責任に対する要求が年々高まっています。AIカメラ、各種センサー、ウェアラブルデバイス、自動化技術といったデジタル安全技術は、危険のリアルタイム検知や事故リスクの低減を可能にします。しかし、持続的な効果を得るためには、既存の現場オペレーションとの整合を前提とした段階的な導入と、長期的な安全高度化ロードマップに基づく実装が不可欠です。

化学産業における環境対応と企業課題
環境規制の強化とサステイナビリティに対する期待の高まりを背景に、化学業界への圧力は一段と強まっています。大手企業は規制対応を差別化の機会として捉える一方で、中小企業にとってはコスト負担の増大が課題となっています。今後の長期的な競争力は、サプライチェーン全体での協業と、サステイナビリティを中核戦略に組み込めるかどうかに左右されると考えられます。
