Consolidated logistics strategy bases to Busan.
Shortened lead time and significantly reduced logistics costs.
For a large mail order service company in Osaka, we
conducted major logistics reform by unifying ten
scattered logistics bases into a single site in Busan. By
placing bases near Japan, we have shortened the total
leadtime. We also successfully reduced domestic stocks
and storage costs generated from each base overseas.
Moreover, we have conducted operations and transport in
the same manner as Japan and organized systems to
manage products and supply products stably.

Nippon Express has fully supported
the expansion of a car-related manufacturer in Mexico for
all transport modes from construction to production.
We introduce our know-how fostered worldwide to
various countries and regions.
With milk runs linking many parts manufacturers to production bases,
we have successfully oered Nippon Express quality overseas as well.
We have horizontally oered milk run procurement logistics with Nippon Express levels of quality,
as developed in Japan, to many countries, including China and Mexico, worldwide. We have also
adjusted to the road conditions unique to each country flexibly and set multiple routes simulating
all risks. This is to support customers safe production with logistics in mind. We have also taken
care of shipping for all suppliers, in addition to delivering goods directly to plants. Moreover, we
have oered value-added service such as quality checking before introduction to lines.
Solving various problems related to Previo,
a cargo inspection system unique to Mexico,
we have minimized unpacking damage caused by inspection.
Mexico has a unique customs clearance system
whereby registered customs clearing agents inspect
the content of all cargo (Previo).
This inspection sometimes damages cargo packaging
and reduces product value. Accordingly, Nippon
Express has become the only foreign company to have
established a highly functional logistics base in the San
Luis Potos Bonded Zone and deliver customer
products safely and surely by handling and managing
customs clearances, including previo, by itself.

We conduct advanced logistics
operations to deliver,
keep and manage medical equipment.
To deliver human life,
we cant aord to make any mistakes.
Globally supporting the building of supply chains for
pharmaceutical/medical equipment companies from various
perspectives such as export and import, storage, management
and delivery.
The size of artificial joint diers by the millimeter and for logistics,
optimally precise operation is required.
Case 3 Delivery of artificial joints
For an orthopedic operation, two or more artificial joints
with dimensions diering by a matter of millimeters to fit
to a patients body size are shipped.
Aer they are delivered to a hospital, only the one that fits
in the patients body is used at the operation site and all
others are returned. This cycle is being repeated.
When handling products used for human bodies, there is
no room for error in delivery operations. Ensuring
flawless operations, regardless of circumstances, is our
mission.

Using Nippon Expresss knowledge of logistics flexibly, we respond to all kinds of requirements
for logistics, quality and related laws and regulations. We propose an optimal medical logistics
solution meeting customers needs such as designing logistics operations considering control
requirements set out by laws and oering a WMS (warehouse management system) dedicated
to medical operations and logistics adopted for international quality management standards for
drugs and medicines.

Answer
Transport between Cambodia and Vietnam
via dedicated trucks without re-shipment is one way
in which we are building atransport network in
next-generation economic zones as ASEAN
In responding early to the global trend of "China Plus One",
we are meeting needs and looking further into the future.
An era of overconcentration of production
bases in China, which has been called the
worlds factory ended and the trend to
shi production bases to ASEAN countries
continues. Nippon Express deploys 233
bases and 970,000 -warehouses in South Asia and Oceania regions, centering on a
regional controlling company in Singapore.
We also cover South Asia widely with
services such as SS7000, a cross-border
truck transport service connecting the
Kunming-Bangkok Expressway and the
East-West Economic Corridor.
With through transport without re-shipment between two
countries, we have largely reduced the operational time
required to handle cargo damage and re-shipments.
Transport from Cambodia where economic growth continues, centering on the apparel
industry, to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam that used to center on transport by water, but now has
infrastructure including roads and bridges, improved thanks to Japanese ODA takes only about
eight hours by truck. The biggest challenge to this transport is re-shipment of containers
between trucks from Cambodia and to Vietnam. In response, Nippon Express has achieved
transport without re-shipment, having nine trucks with rights of passage for both countries.

Answer
We developed standing equipment to
convey wind generation facilities
near a mountains ridge line.
We will meet any needs through
precise transport plans and other measures.
As the needs for special or precision transport are intensifying,
Nippon Express focuses on developing pure transport methods.
From the transport of a giant astrometric telescope to the top of a mountain as much as 4,000
meters high and the construction of an oil liquefaction plant that cannot be disassembled in
the jungle, to the shipment and installation of large precision equipment to a foreign plant,
Nippon Express has challenged a whole series of dicult issues. If there is no road, we make it
and if a port is required, we will also make it. The Nippon Express Group proposes an optimal
solution meeting customers needs, such as the transport of not only heavy goods, but also art
pieces and temperature-controlled air freight/maritime shipping with technical capabilities.
The construction of ecological wind generation facilities is
rapidly expanding. Nippon Express has developed unique
standing equipment to convey giant wind turbine blades.
While there are many sites suitable for wind generation in
mountainous areas in Japan, blades for wind generators up
to 10 meters long cannot be disassembled for reasons of
strength. Therefore it was dicult to construct large wind
generation equipment in mountainous areas aer
transporting the blades through winding mountain roads.
Therefore Nippon Express developed The Blade Tilting
Device* in 2003, which made it possible to transport very
long blades on a road that would previously have been
impassable by moving them from right to le or up and
down flexibly.

Case 5 Developing a method to transport with turbine blades

Nippon Expresss logistics A unique through transport service network to connect worldwide in a borderless manner
Nippon Express has built its own borderless transport routes such as SS7000 from Shanghai to Singapore,
XB3300 from North America to Mexico and EB3000 from the Netherlands to Moscow.
Based on a network of more than 20,000 sta members overseas in 678 bases, 267 cities, 42 countries,
we fully support global business. *As of March 31, 2017
Worldwide, Nippon Express will evolve logistics in the global market.
Nippon Expresss transport service network
to support global business.
The 9,297km railroad line, the longest in the world, connecting Japan and Moscow via Vladivostok.
Based on each starting point in China and Germany, the Nippon Express Group conducts through transport to cities in China and Europe.
Cross-border railway transport between Europe and China
TSR (Trans Siberia Railway)
EB3000 (Cross-border transport from the Rotterdam to Moscow.)
SS7000 (Cross-border transport between Shanghai and Singapore)
XB3300 (Cross-border transport Canadathe U.S.Mexico)The needs for high-mix low-volume transport instead of traditional bulk high-volume transport are growing due to changes in the supply chain structure in Russia. EB3000 is a long-distance consolidated truck service connecting the stretch of around 3,000km between the Netherlands (Rotterdam) and Russia (Moscow) by regular runs.

Borderless RailThis is the first railway cross-border consolidated service oered by a Japanese logistics company for transporting to Mexico (San Luis Potos) using railway transport from Marion, Ohio, a collective point of delivery for the car-related industry.
Borderless TruckAer collecting cargo from all over the U.S. at Laredo, Texas near the Mexican border, we transport them to San Luis Potos by truck.
Under circumstances where the manufacturing of car makers is being expanded and more and more related parts manufacturers are rapidly entering the market in Mexico, we oer a 3,300km-truck transport service among Canada (Toronto), the U.S. (the Midwest/South) and Mexico (Monterrey).
Established a truck transport route of about 7,000km from Shanghai to Singapore via Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Malaysia. Based on this route, we are expanding a network to connect points in the inland area of the Great Mekong Economic Zone.

These reports on corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities conducted by Nippon Express describe, among other things, our corporate structure for promoting CSR activities, specific activities and data on actual achievements.http://www.nipponexpress.com/about/csr/

They engage in aorestation and underbrush trimming and also have exchanges with local people.

CSR Reports
Environment friendliness
For tomorrows global environment.
Nippon Express continues striving for earth-friendly logistics.
The impact of logistics to convey things
on the environment is greater than expected.
Nippon Express has an obligation to be the first to
take measures against environmental issues as a global company.
We also aim to bequeath a beautiful Earth for the future.
Modal shi, an activity equating to a shi to transport means with lower environmental burden.
Modal shi means a shi to transport means with a lower environmental burden. With this in mind, Nippon Express has significantly reduced CO2 emission and costs by shiing means for bulk transport between main cities to railways or marine vessels. In Japan, we established a consistent system between sending cargo out and back based on needs or schedules, setting up a counter at container handling stations nationwide. We also developed an international transport product using the Eco-liner, a 31-feet railway container to allow for consistent transport between 10-ton trucks and trains or vessels, using a container of the same size as the back of the truck.
Promotion of eco-drive in AsiaThe CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) is a system to achieve part of the Japanese reduction goal of CO2 emissions by introducing and popularizing excellent low carbon technology and other functions in developing countries.In 2012, our eco-drive eort in Malaysia was registered to the UN CDM for the first time as a logistics company and the activities are currently continued in the JCM (Joint Crediting Mechanism, a credit system between two countries) eorts in Vietnam.
Active introduction of environment-friendly vehiclesNippon Express is actively introducing environment-friendly vehicles, such as hybrid vehicles, compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, electric vehicles and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vehicles, to complement its eorts toward a model shi. As a solution partner underpinning the logistics operations of companies, Nippon Express is striving for environmental management by pushing for reductions of CO2 emissions and lower pollution.
Launch of a container-matching center
Marine containers used for exports and imports become a social problem, as trailers to return or pick up containers have caused chronic trac jams in surrounding areas because they are for one-way use. In addition, the need to operate containers more eciently has intensified, with costs and the environment in mind. Therefore Nippon Express opened a container-matching center and set routes to collect and deliver cargo based on the time of pickup/delivery, the location conditions and other factors. Consequently, we allowed the round-trip use of containers by proposing optimal transport combining various customers.
