Abstract:
Material flow cost accounting (MFCA), a major environmental management accounting tool, has been developed worldwide. ISO 14051 on MFCA was published in 2011. In Japan, the government has been strongly supportive for promoting MFCA, and the number of companies introducing this tool has been steadily increasing. As indicated in ISO 14051, MFCA can be extended to multiple organizations within a supply chain, to help them develop an integrated approach to more efficient use of materials and energy. However, it is very difficult to introduce MFCA into a supply chain because sharing cost data information between companies becomes an obstacle. The Japanese government project on enhancing resource efficiency in the supply chain employing MFCA has provided much insight on this issue. This presentation discusses the significance and issues for introducing MFCA into the supply chain, and examines some representative cases. Finally, proposals for future development are presented.

Abstract:
This talk will consider how the movement to a service based economy in bothdeveloped and developing countries can impact manufacturing companies. We will focus on the emerging competitive strategy, based on Product-Service Systems, (also known as gServicizationh), whereby tangible manufactured products are brought to market as services that lead to the generation of customer value through product use by customers. We will review recent research results on how quality for the bundle of products and services associated with manufactured products is perceived by both customers and firms. We will also consider how the customer-supplier relationship is impacted through incentive alignment based on a productfs delivered performance. Finally, we will discuss challenges associated with optimal global supply chain managment and resource deployment in a service dominated environment. The talk will conclude with discussion of the (expected/observed) impact of Servicization as firms adapt to this new paradigm.

Abstract:
The development of new business or product, which is desired in these days, and Monozukuri (Manufacturing Process Innovation and Production Engineering) are an indispensable pair in the manufacturing industry. In this talk, Panasonic's activities of Monozukuri Innovation are introduced. They are a concrete example from a view point of QCDE (Quality, Cost, Delivery, Environment) and that of human resource development. Also introduced is the strategy of production technology for new business creation. Using some cases on facilities and electric devices, the necessary condition is shown for the successful progression of seed technology creation into mass production. The focus is placed on the development leaderfs ability or talent and the fit between the technology strategy and market.
