I visited Kyoto the other day.
You may already know about this from the blog I wrote about Zazen, "A Recommendation for Zazen ① by Ito Toryo of Kenninji Ryosokuin Temple."
Even though I live in Kyoto, as a person who is immersed in logistics from head to toe, I ( Kadoi Ryoichi ) am always thinking about logistics.
Always thinking about logistics
Looking at the restaurants and shops lining the narrow alleys, I wonder, "How are they handling logistics?" Or, seeing Yamato Transport's electric vehicles, I think, "I'm sure there's an office in Kyoto ( Yamato Transport Yawata Office ) that runs on all electric vehicles," Or, driving past Yasaka Shrine, I think, "Sagawa Express's Gion store ( Gion Sagawa Express ) has renovated a town house and the uniforms are different, too." Am I the only one who thinks this?
I think some of the readers of this article are in the same situation.
Always looking for ideas to improve logistics
You can also get ideas for improving logistics just by walking around town.
For example, the photo below.
What do you feel when you see this?
Think about it for 10 seconds.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
How was it? Did you get it?
Improvements to address the Year 2024 Problem
Those who understand this idea will probably think, "Wow, that will reduce logistics costs" or "This will reduce the frequency of deliveries."
That's right. I think this idea is also a good way to deal with the Year 2024 Problem.
By having a large back yard, we can reduce daily deliveries to three days a week, etc. Also, since it is a beverage product, we often have to deliver two or three times a day in the summer, so we think we can prevent that as well.
It's possible that this has been there for a while, but I imagine it was added to the original store.
Even after explaining this much, I'm sure there are some people who still don't understand because they're looking at the small screen of a smartphone.
Click on the little photo on the right!
If you look at the enlarged picture, you'll probably think, "Ah, that's right." This red area is a warehouse, and the store's inventory is replenished from there.
Moreover, it doesn't quite fit in with the exterior of the store, so I imagine it was probably added on.
(If you know anyone involved, please get in touch!)
Seico Mart: A convenience store that achieves an 80% loading rate
Seeing this innovation, those who have read Kakui's "Cutting-edge Logistics Strategy (PHP Shinsho)" will probably be reminded of Seico Mart.
The "cutting-edge logistics strategy" explains that, unlike many convenience stores on Honshu, they have a large back-office area and reduce the frequency of deliveries.
Whether you're walking around town or traveling by car, you can find ideas for improving logistics everywhere, so be sure to use your logistics brain and discover as many as you can (^^)
