Swiftly responding to value chain digitalization and supporting company transformation to optimize and visualize global management

In the electronics industry, the competition is becoming more intense due to rapid technological advances and dramatic changes in the global market. Amid such a situation, there is an urgent need to swiftly make and execute management decisions and get results by responding to digitalization. Big data analysis and AI utilization will rapidly move ahead for product development and R&D investment. The global supply chain must swiftly respond to sudden changes in light of country risks and other unexpected events. Companies must also leverage digital technology to understand customer needs and expectations. They must take a customer-oriented approach to providing products and services, and promote sustainability initiatives such as considering the environment and improving energy efficiency.

ABeam Consulting achieves growth transformations in the electronics industry. This includes optimizing borderless supply chains, transforming company and organization customer connection, building enterprise architecture, and creating global business expansion strategies and IT support.

Industry Agenda

Improving operational efficiency to strengthen international competitiveness, optimizing the global supply chain, and enhancing sustainability

Improving company-wide operational efficiency is essential for securing equal profitability in international markets. It is necessary to optimize at each stage after deliberation, execution, and testing for efficiency improvements with partner companies in indirect departments, R&D, design development, and procurement.

Companies must also improve productivity with an optimized supply chain that considers global political circumstances and spontaneous risks. These efforts are supported by standardizing operational processes, constructing IT foundations with ERP (Enterprise Resources Planning), and seamless data linkages through digitalization. It is also important to secure supply chain sustainability. There is a rising need to build firm relationships with suppliers. Suppliers must be selected based on their sustainability indexes (impact on the environment, labor conditions, etc.) to improve sustainability of the supply chain.

Transforming customer connections through digital technology and integration/centralized management of customer data

Customer needs and expectations are changing rapidly. Companies must leverage digital technology to enhance communications with customers and take a customer-oriented approach to providing products and services.

Connections with electronics industry customers range from production to sales to maintenance. It is essential to integrate and centrally manage customer data related to these processes. Swift access to customer purchase and support logs, understanding customer needs through smooth communication, improving customer support, and building long-term relationships with existing customers are all important issues. Centrally managing potential customer information will allow companies to target potential customers, filter targets, and efficiently acquire new customers. It is also important to use forecast analysis that leverages big data and AI to lead to effective marketing activities and data-driven decision-making.

Strengthening competitiveness with enterprise IT

Utilizing ERP to strengthen competitiveness in the market will allow companies to resolve management issues, such as global supply chain transformations, accelerating consolidated fiscal year adoption to comply with international accounting standards, and responses to economic agreements.

They must also quickly establish security measures to visualize infrastructure vulnerabilities and improve cyber resilience.

Raising technical and digital skill levels across the organization via global human resource training

Economic development, especially in emerging nations, is accelerating globalization and complexity in the business environment. To expand their income, companies must train human resources to be successful globally and promote utilization through visualization of human resource skills.

The evolution of digital technology is accelerating, and companies are placing emphasis on improving digital skills and incorporating them in operations. There is demand for business skills such as data analysis, programming, and digital marketing.

Where ABeam Stands Out

  • Deep industry knowledge and expertise in the electronics industry

    ABeam Consulting has a deep knowledge of the supply chain processes unique to the manufacturing industry. We have a track record of successful operational transformations. We don’t just push a one-size-fits-all ideal approach. We find the optimal answer that considers the traits of Japanese companies.

  • Transformations that fuse strategy and implementation with operations and digital

    ABeam Consulting supports companies in everything from strategy formulation to implementation. We have extensive expertise in not only operations, but also the latest digital technology, enabling us to lead seamless company transformations.

  • Client-partnering consulting services instead of consultant-directed solution services

    Rather than instructing clients on solutions, ABeam Consulting works as a partner for the client and designs scenarios where we reach the goal together. We value both the management perspective and the staff perspective and help achieve the company’s vision alongside them.
