・	Competition within the apparel and fashion items BUSINESS is becoming intensified year on year, and thus, it has become inevitable that companies within this domain MUST dramatically improve their productivity in the LOGISTICS FIELD, which is a key factor in COSTS and SERVICES.
・	Realistically, however, “variation and transformation” is a prominent feature of the products of the above business and this feature in itself is a huge hurdle standing in the way of productivity improvement.
It is because:
・	The styles, designs, colors and patterns in demand are diverse and ever-changing resulting in the holding of an ultra-high volume Stock Keeping Unit (SKU), which is in constant transition,
・	The entire volume changes significantly,
・	The volume changes on a daily/weekly/monthly/ basis and also significant volume change also occurs with the season and from one year to the next,
・	Prediction is difficult,
・	The speed of such transition is much faster than that of other industries.

A system, which accurately responds to these needs with flexibility (FLEXIBLE), combined with cost-competitiveness (LOW-COST), has long been sought after. However, in the past, no one could offer an appropriate solution for such a complicated and difficult problem and the development of a suitable system was long delayed.
