Towards a World Where Tomorrow Is Worry-Free
It is widely recognized that Japan stands out globally for its unparalleled dedication to the quality of each individual product and the high standards demanded by its market. Among the essential QCD elements—Quality, Cost, and Delivery—that underpin manufacturing, Japan's stringent quality requirements often make it an inevitable choice for supplier selection.
However, relying solely on domestic operations has become increasingly challenging in today’s competitive landscape. Winning against competitors and connecting to marketing activities that attract consumers is now a daunting task. The primary obstacle lies in the significant cost burden associated with staying domestic.
At the same time, manufacturing standards around the world have risen, and it is a fact that even local overseas companies can meet Japan’s stringent quality requirements. However, challenges such as not being able to find suitable suppliers, lacking the time to search or develop them, or being unsure of how to foster these relationships, persist. Ultimately, manufacturing must continue to evolve, all while reducing costs, securing profits, and maintaining steady sales—a reality that cannot be overlooked.
As this situation persists indefinitely, the role and presence of procurement within companies will become more critical than ever. Furthermore, companies may need to revisit their production and procurement strategies, both domestically and internationally. To minimize costs to the utmost limit, it is essential to broaden the perspective to include the advantages of production locations regardless of national boundaries. In order to survive in the era ahead, companies must continuously explore and adopt options that ensure maximum profitability.
At NEWJI, we strive to provide our customers with the most effective cost-reduction solutions, aiming to create a world free of worries about tomorrow. United as a team, we are dedicated to continuously delivering "beyond expectations," helping you pave the way for a brighter and more secure future.
「Beyond Expectations」
According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, the most commonly cited strengths of manufacturing sites included "responsiveness to needs," "prototyping and small-lot production," "quality control," and "short lead-time production." These strengths are already well-established to a certain extent and have become defining attributes of Japan's manufacturing capabilities.
On the other hand, "cost competitiveness" emerged more as a challenge than a strength, highlighting the need for improvement in this area. Despite recognizing its importance, efforts to transform it into a strength remain insufficient. Moreover, the most significant challenge identified is the "skills of experienced technicians (and their transfer)." The know-how underpinning Japan's manufacturing strength is often too reliant on individuals and has yet to be systematically integrated into organizational knowledge. This lack of structured knowledge transfer poses a critical issue for sustaining competitiveness.
The same challenges can be observed in procurement and purchasing organizations. Beyond merely passing on the know-how of experienced procurement professionals from person to person, there is an increasing demand to formalize tacit knowledge, accumulate it as structured data, and leverage it effectively. This shift marks a critical evolution for organizations in adapting to the needs of the modern era.
By formalizing tacit knowledge and further systematizing it, organizations can enable more employees to acquire the essence of procurement and purchasing—such as cost reduction methods—in a short period through structured education and training. This approach allows even less experienced individuals to operate at a level close to that of seasoned professionals, ultimately transforming "cost competitiveness" into a key organizational strength.
While many companies aim to address challenges like passing on the expertise of seasoned professionals and other issues through the adoption and utilization of digital technologies such as robotics, IoT, and AI, the reality is that many are still navigating these solutions without clear direction. In this context, "newji", a QCD procurement management cloud specialized for manufacturing procurement and purchasing, offers the key to unlocking these challenges. Experience the full potential of cost reduction and take your operations to the next level with newji.
