What Our Clients Say About Us
"During the course of the process, I found YCP highly capable to support Toyota to better understand “ASEAN countries”. 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."

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。
