Supply Chain Management

We strive for safety management and reliably and stably supply high quality medicines. In order to fulfill this responsibility, we aim to centralize information by integrating "functions to stably procure raw materials that customers can relieve and to produce as scheduled" and "logistics functions to deliver promptly and reliably after receipt of order" to build a flexible and efficient production and distribution system (supply chain management).
