This award was given for the collaboration between multiple companies from different industries and departments in the supply chain management area, starting from Retail Trade including Wholesale Trade and Logistics operators, to construct a system that derives the optimal number of trucks and loading rates from AI and product demand forecasting. By utilizing this system, efficiencies in joint deliveries between non-food and food sectors and inspection processes in retail stores have been achieved, which also contributed to the reduction of CO₂ emissions through optimization of vehicle numbers.
