7.4 Supply Chain Management Thoughts

1Lean Production

The essence of lean production is: give full play to the challenging creativity of people, constantly focus on the improvement of value-added processes, and strengthen collaboration with partners to meet the changing and personalized needs of consumers.

It is embodied in the following aspects:

1)Embody the concept of value-added and eliminate all and non-value-added operations and activities

2)Improve the quick response capability.

3)Emphasize partnership, give full play to their core competitive advantages (including product development, parts supply, etc.), and then integrate.

4)To meet customer needs.

 

2Agile Manufacturing

The important meaning of agile manufacturing is the flexible use of human knowledge and intelligence, rapid response to market needs, accurate and effective to meet customer requirements, and highlight the role of human innovation.

When there is a so-called "personalized demand" for specific markets and products, the resources of an enterprise alone cannot meet the needs of such new product development and production, it must be under the organization of the Leading Enterprise, cooperation with strong players with relevant competitive advantages, "strong cooperation" to form "Dynamic Alliance" or "Virtual Factory", using "synchronous engineering" or "synchronous Manufacturing ", to jointly achieve "responsive and rapid response to market needs, accurate and effective to meet customer requirements", and to integrate new products into the market in the shortest time.

 

3Constraint Theory

The goal of an enterprise is to achieve profit in the near future and in the long term. all factors that limit the enterprise's effective output growth and profit acquisition are constraints (bottlenecks ).

There are many aspects, including the system, policy, labor law, personnel, and personnel confidence and mental status. However, market, materials and capabilities are the most important constraints.

The "strength" of the chain is determined by the strength of the weakest link (bottleneck) in all the chain rings. Even if the strength of the remaining links is higher, it is powerless to increase the strength of the entire chain. This is the core idea of constraint theory. In order to improve the competitiveness of the supply and demand chain, based on the constraint theory, we will try our best to find the weakest link, strengthen it, and continuously strengthen the weakest link.

 

4, Value chain

Professor Potter divided the operation of manufacturing enterprises into five stages: factory logistics, processing and manufacturing, factory logistics, marketing and after-sales service; and four support operations, namely: enterprise Planning Model, human resource management, market research and technology development, market research and technology development, and procurement management. By analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each operation activity or link compared with competitors, we can find out the cost advantages and characteristics (differences) of enterprises, and finally find out the market positioning advantages.

 

5, Quasi-time production

JITCore: Eliminate all ineffective labor and waste, and pursue perfection in the market competition. JIT attaches great importance to the personalized requirements of customers, attaches great importance to comprehensive quality management, attaches importance to preventive maintenance of equipment, attaches importance to Logistics Control, attaches importance to the role of people, and advocates authorizing employees to participate in management and solve practical problems.

 

6Comprehensive Quality Management
