Continuous improvement to the Milk-Run System*4
In purchasing production parts, deployment of the Milk-Run system was completed throughout Japan by FY March 2008. Today, Mazda is introducing the same system in overseas production sites, with deployment in the Mexico plant completed in FY March 2014, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions by further promoting efficiency in the purchasing and logistics processes across the entire supply chain. Also, the Company is implementing initiatives to optimize packaging volume for purchasing parts, reflecting logistics needs at the beginning of product development process, so as to further improve the load efficiency of trucks and reduce the number of trucks required.
