NX NP Logistics Co., Ltd.
NX NP Logistics Co., Ltd. works to develop on-site improvement activities throughout the company. The company refers to these activities as “Kobe-ization ” initiatives and established the Kobe-ization Promotion Office at their head office. The term is derived from the Kobe Sub-Branch, known for being the model location for improvement activities. NX NP Logistics Co., Ltd. implements various measures to encourage and stimulate the horizontal development of these activities.
One such example is the Kobe-ization Support Points launched in 2016.
Kobe-ization Support Points are points awarded according to the content and total number of improvement activities implemented by each site. Points can then be used to purchase equipment for further improvement activities.
In 2022, NX NP Logistics Co., Ltd. added a new way to use support points, as improvement activities had been established to a certain extent throughout the company. This decision enables sites to use points to purchase UNICEF Inspired Gifts that lead to social contribution, based on their approach to familiarize employees with the idea that their improvements can support others.
In fiscal 2022, 38 sites used points to purchase gifts for UNICEF, providing 32 sets of nutritional treatment meals totaling 4,800 meals. NX NP Logistics Co., Ltd. will continue this initiative in fiscal 2023, accepting applications from all company sites. (As of January 2023)
* UNICEF Inspired Gifts
