PM and Pipeline development for a company of forest industry, Mar. 2024 – Sep. 2025

Launched in early 2024, this project focuses on improving distribution and supply chain management within the Japanese forest industry. The industry faces significant challenges in trading wooden products, from raw timber and logs to processed goods like furniture. These difficulties stem partly from underdeveloped regulations, which have resulted in a lack of standardization for measurements, specifications, and traceability. Furthermore, the industry has been slow to adopt digital technologies to improve business operations, hindering proper market function. Modernizing these practices will enable vendors to sell products more efficiently and enhance the overall customer experience.

One of my primary roles has been to build a data pipeline capable of processing inconsistent and poorly structured data. This pipeline is designed to organize, complete, and validate incoming information, preventing data deterioration and ensuring its long-term value.

In a more business-focused capacity, I have also worked to build a foundational bridge between managers and developers. The organization lacked formal management processes, particularly a rigorous, integrated method for communication between divisions, which compromised the quality of project specifications. To address this, we implemented standardized frameworks such as SLCP-JCF (the Japanese version of ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207) and the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). As a result, we have already observed tangible improvements in our management processes.
