Sony Group, Sony Corporation requires each company within the system must make sure that the Sony group of companies: make every effort to shorten the product shipped to the customer from the process and the time spent, in particular, to reduce cross-border transport, multimodal transport and different types of mode of transport of goods between the time spent to ensure zero length of stay, distance, zero additional cost, zero risk in place a comprehensive logistics services, vigorously strengthening the Sony Group companies and logistics supply chain services and cooperative relations between the parties and always maintain the electronic the smooth flow of digital information exchange contacts, and ultimately ensure that the Sony Logistics to increase revenue. Sony believes that the high cost of storage is very unfavorable for the logistics, Sony logistics warehousing costs in the United States produced an average as high as $ 20,000,000, which does not include the high cost of inland road and rail transportation, container cargo cargo damage arising from theft poor stock compensation costs, container cargo transportation insurance costs, reduced logistics and warehousing will inevitably reduce logistics costs, speed up the supply chain, logistics, operation speed and to ensure safe operation. 2001 to 2003, Sony Logistics warehouse site in the United States has been cut more than half of the supply chain inventory has been reduced by half, from the original stock reserve of 15 days trade to 6 half days of inventory. Including the establishment of the Sony in the U.S. West Coast logistics companies had withdrawn a large number of warehouses, distribution through the socalled cross-platform service-type surface and to enhance rapid cargo delivery frequency, delivery time from one month to several times a week is only the supply chain, the Warehousing business all concentrated in the U.S. West Coast Port of Los Angeles near Carson specifically established a logistics center, the center of the container handling equipment is very advanced warehouse, as a center point, and by express courier to containerized cargo to the U.S. hinterland shipped, about 3 days, discharged from the U.S. West Coast port container cargo can reach the U.S. East Coast.

Sony Singapore air cargo in the ship or 7 days before departure procedures for cargo shipment, due to the use of certain exports of priority planning, shipping has been reduced to 4 days, air reduced to 1 day. Sony spare parts logistics company purchase used mode of operation is unique, that is, through a third party operator control and implementation of Sonys supply chain logistics management business, all of the logistics costs are charged by third-party operators.
