Project Overview
| Project Details | |
|---|---|
| Project Title | Developing Alternative Supply Chain Strategies For Multi National Corporation Headquartered In Japan |
| Project Synopsis |
What is the challenge or opportunity you are trying to address within your organization? Hioki Corporation, a Japanese multinational specializing in battery production testing and precision measuring instruments, is reassessing its global supply chain strategies in response to evolving global challenges. Recent geopolitical events—including trade wars, the COVID-19 pandemic, rising nationalism, and shifting sustainability expectations—have exposed vulnerabilities in supply chains and disrupted sourcing and distribution strategies. With competitiveness, cultural values, and sustainability at the core of Hioki’s business philosophy, the company must now evaluate new supply chain strategies that align with its long-standing commitment to trust, loyalty, fairness, environmental responsibility, and social sustainability. This project challenges students to analyze Hioki’s current supply chain model, identify areas of vulnerability, and propose solutions that balance efficiency, risk management, and corporate responsibility in a dynamic global landscape.
