How to Successfully Advance an Indirect Material Purchasing Project Without Failure in the 2022 Fiscal Year (Event on March 23)

Monotaro × Kaunet Co-hosted Seminar: Achieving Results in Fiscal Year 2022! How to Advance an Indirect Material Purchasing Project Without Fail.

As we approach the 2025 deadline for digital transformation (DX) and in light of the spread of the COVID-19 virus, many companies are increasingly feeling a sense of urgency to fully engage in DX initiatives. However, there are still many voices expressing that they are still exploring the DX of procurement and purchasing. As a company-wide business improvement measure, managing indirect materials procurement is an area that can be immediately addressed and is likely to yield results quickly. By introducing and embedding common management rules across the organization, visibility in purchasing can be significantly enhanced, allowing for the establishment of the data and systems necessary to advance the DX of core operations. In this webinar, we will introduce a clear and practical approach to advancing indirect materials reform projects, incorporating specific case studies. We invite companies that have not yet fully engaged in indirect materials purchasing or are struggling with internal adoption to participate freely. <Recommended for the following individuals> - Those in corporate planning, general affairs, purchasing, procurement, or factory management who are currently facing challenges with indirect materials purchasing. - Those exploring reforms in indirect materials purchasing and looking to start centralized purchasing easily and without hassle. - Those who want to digitize analog business processes and achieve operational efficiency. - Those who are considering or implementing a purchasing system and are interested in catalog integration methods.

Do you want to use SOLIDWORKS more conveniently but think, "API seems difficult..."? How about trying to create a macro together? The theme is "Automating just one process." This time, we will create a system that automates the simple task of "saving," which you do manually every time in SOLIDWORKS, so that it can be completed with one click. Even if you have never written code before, that's okay. By simply "tracing and creating together" the necessary parts, you will be able to experience the excitement of actual automation in action. Through this webinar, I hope you will realize, "Oh, I can start with something this small in API." ■ Recommended for: - Those who do not fully understand how to utilize SOLIDWORKS API - Those who are not familiar with macros - Those who want to automate their design processes - Those who want to reduce human errors, even just a little.

[Lecturer] Yoshiaki Otsuki, Special Counsel, Anderson Mori & Tomotsune Law Office, Foreign Law Joint Enterprise [Key Lecture Content] Rare earth elements are metallic minerals commonly used in electric vehicles (EVs) and smartphones, but it is said that a large portion of their production relies on China. However, in light of the recent intensification of U.S.-China tensions and other international circumstances, concerns have arisen regarding the security of rare earth supply. In this context, the development of rare earth projects within Japan's territorial waters or exclusive economic zone (EEZ) has suddenly come into the spotlight. This lecture will focus on the legal aspects of rare earth development projects within Japan's territory, particularly addressing the application issues of the Mining Act, which was amended in 2022.

In this lecture, we will explain, using specific examples, how to avoid and leverage the latest local needs and pressures of technology transfer, and how to earn trust. [Lecture Topics] 1. The harsh reality of the global market and the redefinition of "reasons to be chosen." 2. Development strategies to break through the pressures of technology transfer and institutional barriers. 3. Game-changing material selection: the forefront of decarbonization and ESG compliance. 4. Learning from successful cases: a roadmap for market development and a "key" to execution. 5. Q&A session.
