Transforming Supply Chains
We started out making changes to homebuilding companies’ supply chain management practices and soon realized a need to expand. As we train homebuilder to function differently with their suppliers, it became evident we needed to also train distributors and manufactures how to operate in this new collaborative environment.
Our experience representing manufacturers in Japan, Korea, Guam, Hawaii, and other locations, gave us a better understanding of what is most important to them, and incorporated this into our homebuilder training to facilitate the two entities working together to lower each other’s costs.
Lumber & building material distributors spend the gap between manufacturers and getting products to the job site. We paint a picture of a day in the life of a distributor in our homebuilder training. Distrubotrs are the folks that compelled us to include logistics (planes, trains, trucks, ships) in our courses. More now than ever, logistics are effecting costs and production capacity.

Manufacturer Representation
Construction companies in Japan do business quite differently than we do in the US. It is easy to underestimate the cultural differences and efforts needed to provide the service they expect. Kenzai USA bridges the gap between overseas customers and US manufacturers.
