Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE) held a global meeting for the dry bulk business at the company’s head office over two days from November 14 to 15, 2023. The meeting gathered not only the members of the dry bulk team at the head office but also 25 national representatives from 10 major overseas offices, with about 100 people engaging in lively discussions in either sales or operation sessions.
At the meeting, Atsuo Asano, Representative Director, Vice President Executive Officer (responsible for the Dry Bulk Carriers Unit), explained the shared significance of global KPIs (key performance indicators) based on a project to further advance business management for maximising corporate value. He also spoke about measures to boost ROIC, an indicator of “earning power,” emphasising the importance of everyone working in unison to achieve further growth.
On the theme of the Current status of KPI progress, the KPIs identified at the start of the year, such as safety/efficiency in navigation, profitability, and low-carbon/decarbonisation efforts for CO2 emissions reduction, were analysed and reflected on during the operation sessions, with frank discussions about increasing safety and profitability in navigation and cargo operations as well as environment and DX challenges.
On the theme of “Expand Our Business, Empower Our Success!” topics like analysis and measures for company growth and expanding the revenue base in the future, as well as organisational and environmental sales with technical and environmental teams, were discussed in the sales sessions, also including debates about identifying sources of added value and ways to enhance “K” LINE’s strengths through the concerted efforts of the Tokyo head office and overseas locations.
In the future, “K” LINE will regularly hold global meetings and share KPIs globally, thereby improving customer-oriented service quality while creating a sense of unity among our employees and strengthening teamwork. Our dry bulk business will realise sustainable profitability growth while further developing its business network based on global diversity and adding environmental reaction to the advanced transportation know-how accumulated over many years.
