Our Strengths
when natural disasters strike
First of all, there is a lot of heavy equipment, chemicals, and plenty of tall shelves which are fully stocked with merchandise. Earthquake happens a lot of time a year, also huge earthquake happens once or twice every few years in Japan. Earthquake will always pose a danger to people inside buildings. At this point, our foundation can resist over 7.0 quake with 250 piles.
Furthermore, there is no concern about ground liquefaction that is one of the influence comes from earthquake. Our foundation is based on concrete and its bearing capacity of the floor will be over 5 ton per 1㎡. It is more than double bearing capacity the other warehouse company.
We could say that it is ideal facility to store items and driving forklifts and trucks.
Moreover, if over 6.0 quake hits, there is a high possibility that it will appear a tsunami. The tsunami causes likely millions of damage to employees, clients and merchandise. However, there is no threat of a tsunami because our ELC warehouse is built at over 131 feet above sea level. Additionally, it is beneficial not being covered with water when it rains heavily.
We will be sure to keep everyone safe and prepare for natural disasters to protect employees and merchandises,
Cargo Operation System
Based on the opinions of local input
The most important things is an accident avoidance.
Some accidents unfortunately have happened before. For example, cross shipping causing injury breaking cargos, and we really apologized for them.
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. We have experienced a disadvantaged business in an accident treatment, furthermore there is no end to happen any accidents in logistic business.
Risk management
We have analyzed past occurrence so many times, however there was no answer about why it happens, why we face a prevent. Then, we changed a focus to the field site as the result of that accidents happed at the warehouse. We asked for through management of the operation, health control, hygienic control and let all of them know an operation manual. Furthermore, we have been approaching to create the safety job site with regular coaching to sustain preventing.
Moreover, in order to keep accidents as low as possible, we conduct “crisis prediction management manual” at each warehouse, as a result, our company achieve a large number reduction of accidents.
Crisis management
95％ of past occurrence was happened by human error, there is no problem with system.
For example, we had used to check with a few staff inspected slips (for cargo come in/out ) and 8 to 12 numbers over 100 times.
In order to be prepare for human error, we create“Cargo come in/out conducting system” and“WEB cargo conducting system”
Q. Practice Task
- Task1
- S/I used to be done with instructions, will it be a paperless?
- Task2
- Loading/unloading are acted by a few staff with instructions, is it possible to reduce human error and cost of employees?
- Task3
- Would like to know how much it cost for packing, storage at bonded goods area and entering and leaving a warehouse as soon as possible
A. storage shed for air cargo : WEB cargo conducting system
We attempted to invent a new system, WEB cargo conducting system, to reform a checking structure by a few staff.
- Interfacing with NACCS, we scan a cargo label with handy terminal
- Make own number with bar code as each goods arrived.
- Only one person needed to complete those action and make it rapid and accurate.
As the result of that taking those system, it made possible to reduce the number of employee and had a great benefit which is outgo than install fee.
Moreover, we are able to confirm the status of forwarder’s orders at screen and constantly responsethem. Also, if you create an account on our system, you will be able to check your history you used us before.
Of course, you will be able to receive the information you need by our EDI system smoothly.
