Outline

Logistics (strategic distribution) is now the key to corporate strategy. MURATA MACHINERY promotes logistical solutions that are directly linked to corporate operations from the perspective of SCM (supply chain management), representing the optimization of a continuous flow from Purchase of raw material to final Delivery of merchandise to consumers. The division draws from its expertise in automation and unmanned operation of production systems to pursue creation of unmanned transportation systems for clean room application. It thus supports the electronics industry by raising the manufacturability and reliability of semiconductors, LCD displays, and plasma display devices. By compiling and sharing its success stories in design, improvement and operation that help to build the main arteries of the manufacturing and distribution lines in a variety of industries, L&A is helping companies thrive in the competitive global marketplace.
