製造業サプライチェーンにおける炭素排出量の削減：CeMAT東南アジアからの重要なポイント

At CeMAT Southeast Asia 2025, INCIT’s Platform Director Michael Tay addressed a critical issue facing the manufacturing sector: reducing carbon emissions across supply chains and logistics. According to the World Economic Forum 2024, the manufacturing industry is responsible for nearly 30% of the world’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Of this, between 73% and 90% of a manufacturing company’s emissions fall within the value chain — also known as Scope 3 emissions. Within Scope 3, logistics activities such as trucking, shipping, and aviation contribute approximately 5–10%. For companies looking to reduce their GHG emissions, it is essential to examine and address emissions arising from their supply chain and logistics operations. […]

EUDRとCOSIRI-24の活用方法

The impact of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) Understanding the implications of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is crucial for companies to ensure compliance and mitigate risks. Effective December 30, 2024, the EUDR will require businesses to submit comprehensive Due Diligence Statements. This new regulation is set to impact numerous industries by mandating proof that products entering or exiting the EU are free from recent deforestation and forest degradation. The Consumer Sustainability Industry Readiness Index (COSIRI) offers a robust framework to help businesses navigate these new regulatory requirements. Seven critical dimensions within the COSIRI-24 framework including Compliance Risk, Supplier Assessment, Sustainable Procurement Process, Supply Chain Planning, Product Design, Technology Adoption, […]

サプライチェーンにおける社会的持続可能性を推進するトップ5の技術ソリューション

サプライチェーンにおける社会的持続可能性の向上は、製造業者にとって複雑な課題です。倫理的なサプライチェーンのあらゆる段階において、社会福祉への配慮、持続可能な労働慣行の確保、地域社会への関与、そして人権擁護に尽力する必要があります。このアプローチは困難ではありますが、倫理基準の維持、業務効率の向上、リスクの最小化、そして優秀な人材、消費者、投資家の獲得に不可欠です。サプライチェーンにおける社会的責任を優先することで、製造業者は徹底したベンダー審査と揺るぎないコミットメントを約束しなければなりません。環境、社会、ガバナンス（ESG）における卓越性への道のりは、今日のビジネス環境において困難でありながらも極めて重要な取り組みとなります。マッキンゼー・アンド・カンパニーは最近の記事で、「[…]

倫理的問題を避けるためにサプライヤー評価が重要な理由

Supply chain dynamics have never been more intricate, impactful, and complex. Within this complexity lies a critical concern: ensuring ethical standards are upheld throughout the supply chain. This is where the utilisation of a supplier assessment emerges as a vital tool for businesses to safeguard not only their ethical integrity but also their bottom line. But what is the purpose of supply chain assessment? By evaluating and scrutinising the practices of suppliers, companies can mitigate the risk of encountering ethical issues such as labour exploitation, environmental degradation, or human rights violations. As awareness and expectations regarding corporate responsibility continue to evolve, there is a growing demand for transparency and accountability […]

FMCG業界のサプライチェーン規制の複雑さへの対応

The manufacturing sector is undergoing a dynamic technological shift with the introduction of advanced smart manufacturing tools and solutions. More manufacturers are starting to take proactive steps to digital transformation, with robotics and automation, data analytics, and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms among the top priorities according to a 2023 Deloitte report. Alongside these radical transformations affecting the manufacturing industry worldwide, supply chain regulations are also shaping the operational landscape for fast moving consumer goods (FMCG). The global supply chain regulations enterprises are facing range from trade compliance and product safety standards to environmental and labour regulations. These regulations are not static; they constantly evolve in response to geopolitical shifts, […]

持続可能な繊維サプライチェーン管理：より環境に優しい成果のための戦略

In an interconnected world linked and driven by world trade, maintaining efficient and sustainable supply chains can make a significant difference in operational effectiveness and achieving greener outcomes. The focus on supply chains is not misplaced – it’s been found that around 50% to 70% of operating costs and over 90% of an organisation’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be attributed to supply chains.  Having the right supply chain management strategy is therefore essential for a company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. A sound supply chain management plan involves integrating environmentally and socially responsible practices into the procurement, production, and distribution processes to minimise the environmental impact of the […]

AIとハイパーオートメーションが持続可能な製造業を推進する方法

自動化はビジネスを永遠に変えました。プロセスの合理化と新たな運用効率の創出により、製造業は他の多くの業界と同様に、自動化を業務の中核として取り入れてきました。自動化が前例のない変化を引き起こしたことは否定できませんが、ハイパーオートメーションは変革を全く新しいレベルへと引き上げます。近年の人工知能（AI）と機械学習の劇的な発展は、製造業におけるハイパーオートメーションの成長を促し、ハイパーオートメーション市場は2028年までに1兆5,822億米ドルに達すると予測されています。Salesforceの調査によると、5社中4社が2024年までにハイパーオートメーションを技術ロードマップに組み込む予定であることが分かりました。高度な自動化ツールは効果的にプロセス効率を高めますが、[…]

サプライチェーンのデジタル化とレジリエンス構築のためにメーカーが取るべき4つのステップ

Supply chain disruptions can have serious consequences for manufacturers, as many may have already experienced from the pandemic. From lost customers and dwindling revenues to even potential legal issues, the effects of supply chain disruptions can be long-lasting and damaging. Manufacturers that have earned the dubious honour of having a bad track record of supply chain disruptions may also be shunned due to reputational damage. As border restrictions have become a thing of the past and most factories have reopened and are able to operate at full capacity, manufacturers no longer have the excuse of the pandemic for supply chain disruptions. In fact, with geopolitical risks at an all-time high, […]
