Recently, the third Nanjing Iveco Logistics Forum was held in Hainan. The forum focused on the topic of supply chain management for the automotive industry. Representatives from Nanjing Iveco Automotive Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as South Weike), the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, professional logistics companies and suppliers made keynote speeches on the status quo and development of the automotive industry supply chain management.
Automobile industry supply chain should improve with the whole vehicle scale
Dai Dingyi, vice chairman of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, believes that the scale of production and sales of the Chinese automobile industry has leapt to the top in the world. In the case of large-scale automobile production and significant product batching, the supply chain management of the automotive industry should also follow. The improvement will make the construction of supply chain management consistent with the development of the company.
Dai Dingyi said that from historical experience, the method of logistics and supply chain management started in the automotive industry. In recent years, the domestic auto market has emerged new features of product individuation and demand diversification, and the automobile industry supply chain is modular, Informatization and process transformation can be new ways to deal with this feature.
An important support condition for modularity is the internal management of information in the enterprise. Modular technology provides a solution for the supply model, and information technology provides the necessary conditions for implementing the solution. Practice shows that the "agility" of module supply has strict requirements on the synchronization of the cooperation process, and therefore it is highly dependent on information technology. With the introduction of modular technology, system vendors are required to provide advice on the development of vehicle models in the early stages of design, and submit plans for modularization. In the production process, the spare parts of the production line are basically “zero inventoryâ€, and the supplier must be consistent with the production cycle. No matter whether it is a batch of parts with the same specifications or different specifications of the same kind of products, they all require access within the specified time. Assembly line. With the integration of self-manufactured parts and second- and third-level parts and components of automakers into the system components, the original dependency relationship has shifted. The essence of "transfer" is a re-allocation of resources and changes in supply and demand.
Process transformation refers to the process of supply chain turnover. The concrete manifestation is that the parts that originally entered the vehicle assembly or production are transferred to the assembly line of the vehicle directly by the system integrator in a systematic or sub-assembly manner.
Four major advantages of Toyota's supply chain model are worth learning
Zhu Weidong, deputy general manager of Anjie Tiandi Logistics Co., Ltd., said that currently, in the field of supply chain management in the automotive industry, the management model of Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan is a global model, and the core content of its supply chain management is cost, quality and timeliness. Perfect balance.
He analyzed that the Toyota model has the following differences compared to the domestic auto manufacturers' supply chain model. First, Toyota’s potential suppliers are rich in resources, while the domestic parts and components companies provide too large a radius for OEMs; The production plan is shared with its suppliers, while domestic supply chain management capabilities such as ordering, production, and inventory need to be improved. Third, Toyota's suppliers are working hard to increase the supply chain advantage near the vehicle manufacturer. Toyota eliminates high logistics through market competition. Cost suppliers, while domestic standards for logistics standards and logistics equipment are still lacking, and the degree of informationization is not enough; Fourth, 250 (60%) or more suppliers are located in the Toyota Motor Park, while domestic automobile groups do not form regions with their respective suppliers. Clusters.
At present, the domestic automobile production has grown rapidly, the vehicle configuration has increased substantially, and the market has great volatility. There are multiple production bases in a company and the logistics costs are high. The complicated situation in the domestic market at present makes supply chain management face a severe test.
For the entire vehicle company, its overseas procurement cycle becomes longer, the supply chain is longer, and the supply radius becomes larger; the management of the second-tier supplier is weak; and the supplier's capacity management needs to be improved.
For third-party logistics, how to complete logistics and transport with high efficiency, high quality, socialization, specialization, and internationalization under complex market conditions is also worth considering.
Parts supply chain is part of the supply chain
Component supply chain management, as a part of the supply chain management chain, is characterized by a wide variety of products, small quantities of transportation, and a wide distribution of demand; the demand is unevenly distributed in regions and timeliness is demanding (2 to 7 days for ordinary orders, emergency Orders 1 to 3 days); The spare parts are highly specialized and demanding in the process of loading, unloading and transportation. The rapid response and high quality of service are required in emergency situations.
As the supplier representative of Nan Weike, Huang Weizhong, general manager of Jiangyin Opel Liansheng Auto Parts Co., Ltd., pointed out in his speech at the forum that in the current supply chain management, the supply chain management of parts and components is a major constraint to the rapid development of vehicle companies. main problem. According to him, under the joint efforts of Jiangyin Olympic School and Sunvee, South Vicco's inventory levels have dropped significantly – 5 days of finished product inventory and 10 days of material inventory. The two parties adopted measures for repeated use of tooling and packaging, effectively reducing costs.
Huang Weizhong suggested that the parts supply chain should make full use of transit warehouses to centralize long-distance transportation. In addition, the third-party logistics is currently limited to vehicle transportation. In the future, the third-party logistics should be included in the parts logistics to serve the main plant.
Supply chain construction is crucial for manufacturing companies
"Currently, competition among enterprises is not product competition but competition in the supply chain." Zhou Weili, general manager of NV, said that South Vicco had realized the importance of supply chain management for the company as early as three years ago and focused on building it.
Zhou Liang said that after the completion of the three-year supply chain construction plan, Nanweike has made a new five-year plan to try to make it more perfect.
Zhou Liang pointed out that with the intensification of the global automotive industry integration process, the supply chain of the automotive industry has become increasingly long and China is entering the internationalization of the automotive industry supply chain.
As for the problems and development directions of the domestic auto industry supply chain management, Zhou Liang said that domestic auto companies are generally not fully aware of the role of supply chain management and have not yet realized their important value; the supply chain management level is not high and still in the exploratory stage; There is a problem of asymmetric information in the supply chain; complex and diverse uncertainties exist in the external environment.
Zhou Liang said that in the future there will be no borders in the automotive industry supply chain, which will change the situation in the limited supply chain of the development of the automobile industry. Vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, distributors and service providers can achieve a win-win situation; new technologies will be integrated into supply chain management. , new crafts, new materials; the global auto industry integration makes the supply chain tilt towards low-cost regions, and the integration trend is obvious. Enterprises that do not have core innovation capabilities will gradually be eliminated, and 0.5-level suppliers will gradually increase; data sharing and chain development It will be even higher and the competition will become fiercer; logistics and transportation will no longer be the core business of the vehicle companies, and will be transferred to third parties.
According to Zhou Liang, the implementation of supply chain management by Nan Weike reduced the operating costs of enterprises and increased the response speed of products to the market. In terms of management ideology, it is based on the rigid and high-volume production methods to implant “flexible†products. The concept is to reduce the process to zero, to replace the “big and full†production layout with “strong and refined†internal resource allocation, and to use IT technology in management to create a rapid response mechanism that adapts to modern market conditions. .
Zhou Liang revealed that based on the results achieved in the supply chain management, Nanveco will further implement improvement measures in 2010 to change the long-term slow adjustment of the company's product lines.
