Logistics supply chain based on the type of selection
Characteristics of the object from the service divided by the logistics, supply chain can be divided into three types: high-efficiency supply chain, rapid response supply chain and supply chain innovation.
Gao efficient supply chain, yes Zhizaimanzu supply of goods or services requests, the cost to meet minimum supply chain, Ta O’clock in the design to reduce costs for the Zhuti Ruhe, the object of most of its applications for the Chanpinciyi, thus is Jingzhengjilie , not high profit margin business, the most typical examples, such as supermarket chains – its goal is to delivery of goods to each store to do an accurate, timely, and so as to provide the lowest cost. This requires all aspects of the supply chain, including the search for products, purchasing, transportation, goods receiving, inventory, sales, returns and other sectors, should not affect the sales conditions, low-cost operation.
Rapid response supply chain, based on how quickly respond to customer demand for the purpose of the supply chain. It is the application of objects, including equipment maintenance, telecommunications and maintain the required supply of other parts of the Jin Ji, Qi aim is to short Manzu customer requests it Bijiao closely with customers, need to have additional capacity and transport capacity to meet emergency requirements. In addition to maintenance, and medical emergency assistance and other needed products and equipment also require the application of rapid response supply chain.
Innovative supply chain, then is how to meet the changing needs of our customers focus on its relationship with customers more closely, emphasizing flexibility. It is mainly used in rapid changes in market products, such as fashion, mobile phones, car design, its goal is to maximize meet the changing needs of customers mainly in the supply chain to consider more for changing how market demand for timely and sensitive response.
Application examples: GM’s multi-state supply chain
An enterprise supply chain also has a number of situations in the enterprise are not uncommon. Shanghai General Motors on the possession of the three different types of supply chain.
General business of: 1) vehicle operations, vehicle distribution supply chain, including finished cars sent to dealers around the country; 2) sent to the dealer and service center Auto Parts and Accessories; 3) Pan Asia Technical Automotive Design Center .
Of the vehicle business, taking into account the vehicle’s stock, sending, transport and other sectors after years of development is relatively mature, and increasingly lower automobile manufacturing Lirun, so from improve efficiency, reduce cost point of view, the Company used vehicle logistics a highly efficient supply chain, this piece of business is outsourced to Anji-TNT Automotive Logistics Co., Ltd..
In parts of the distribution aspects of vehicle maintenance, taking into account the quality of service not only directly affect their brand image, but also to improve the sustainability of new channels of revenue for the customer must make quick and accurate response, the zero Part of the supply chain with quick response supply chain.
Finally, the Design Center is the leading enterprise of the soul of the market, how sensitive the market response to changes in a timely manner is key to the supply chain, requiring innovative supply chain. Supply chain selection basis
Selection of the supply chain to consider the key, is to visit customers and products – to be as fundamental to customer needs, combined with characteristics of their products to reflect. Customers must, as well as the supply chain parties for the full communication, to understand customer needs, understand all the equipment supply chain, technology 水平, etc. Zhunbei grade, judged comprehensively.
Customer demand is fundamental: the need to understand the information, including customer demand for product specific requirements, customer size, customer location, etc., these factors of supply chain design. Which plays a major role in product demand, which includes the customer’s product type and quantity of orders issued identity, calls for delivery of the cycle.
Consideration of product characteristics on the supply chain: in the design of the supply chain, not only to consider 客户 needs, but also consider the product features such as the quantity, size, weight, fresh demands Deng factors, because these factors Huidui supply chain a direct impact on the structure, and an impact on transportation and inventory costs.
Suppliers and partners to understand: in a supply chain, there may be many suppliers and other partners, will determine the efficiency of their supply chain efficiency, so the design for their business before the supply chain, need to know the supplier and partners in all aspects, including: What are the suppliers and logistics partners to choose from? What are their respective features and capabilities? Stakeholders in the supply chain which could be effectively integrated?
Basic guidelines and principles: how to meet customer requirements and supply chain balance between the degree of complexity. We need some basic principles of respect, the most important principles is to see progress on the supply chain segment the input and the proceeds after the breakdown of the supply chain. In doing this calculation, it may not be limited to current and short-term gains, it involves the calculation of future earnings, the company’s strategic objectives of the impact of the need for comprehensive consideration. Another principle is the need to adopt relevant technical means, so that not only improves customer satisfaction, without increasing costs, or just a very small increase in cost. For example, many enterprise applications are now available in mass customization, cross-enterprise information system sharing
