Outine of Reasearch

Last year, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Japan (MLIT) established an action plan for Malaysia as a dissemination strategy for the JSA-S1004 standard for cold chain logistics services in the ASEAN region. To promote the dissemination of this standard, it is necessary to establish a certification system.

In this research, we will conduct a survey and study in cooperation with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) on the establishment of a certification system necessary for the dissemination of the standard in Malaysia, where the MLIT has formulated an action plan, as well as a survey and proposal for the establishment of a mutual certification scheme between JSA-S1004 and standards formulated in ASEAN countries. The JSA-S1004 will also conduct surveys and make proposals for the improvement of issues related to the logistics business in general, such as the shortage of human resources, from the viewpoint of improving the quality of logistics in ASEAN.
