Currently, the logistics industry is suffering from a high rate of redeliveries
and a shortage of drivers.
One of the reasons for the labor shortage in the logistics industry is
the negative image of long working hours and low salaries.
This image has led to a decrease in the number of young people who want
to work in the industry.
Furthermore, due to the declining birthrate and aging population, the logistics industry is currently characterized by a lack of young people and a large number of middle-aged and older workers.
As Japan's birthrate declines and the population ages, it will become even more difficult to recruit young people.

If the labor shortage continues, it will be difficult to conduct business
as before. One of the reasons for the 2024 problem is the limitation on
overtime hours.
This restriction will make it impossible to increase the number of work
hours per person to cover the manpower shortage, and will further reduce
the number of work hours, resulting in an even greater shortage of manpower.
Therefore, we need to increase manpower before the overtime limits are
implemented. |

The logistics industry is increasingly implementing warehouse management systems, such as cloud systems, to manage inventory in warehouses.
Such systems can then streamline warehouse operations such as inventory
management, receipt/issue management, and expiration date management.
Furthermore, Logizart ZERO, a warehouse management software package, has
been introduced by more than 1,400 logistics companies.
In addition, 360-day support is available. This means that if any problems
arise, they can be handled immediately, and the time required to resolve
problems is reduced greatly.
These warehouse management systems are used in various logistics sites. |
