CCTV News: In the "14th Five-Year Plan" proposal, upgrading the level of industrial chain and supply chain modernization is the primary task of accelerating the development of a modern industrial system.
At present, my country's development is in a period of important strategic opportunities, and the importance of improving the modernization level of the industrial chain supply chain has become more prominent, and a new profession-supply chain manager has emerged.
There are hundreds of thousands of data in Lu Xin's computer, including global weather, raw material prices, worker wages, and commodity futures trends.
Lu Xin said that these seemingly unrelated data are actually important factors affecting tire raw materials, and they are also an important basis for her daily work decision-making as a supply chain manager in the tire industry.
Recently, she discovered an abnormality in the data of a raw material.
Lu Xin, Supply Chain Manager, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province: At this point in the past, there could be more than 200,000 tons of whole milk (rubber), but this year there is only more than 100,000 tons of inventory. According to the previous consumption rate, This amount is not enough.
Subsequently, Lu Xin issued an early warning to the factory. A tire production factory more than 900 kilometers away immediately replenished raw materials, avoiding the cost increase caused by the shortage of raw materials in advance.
Yu Feipeng, chairman of a tire company: It is estimated that the cost of the entire industry should be reduced by 20%, which also greatly promotes the reduction of the entire domestic logistics cost.
The source of the raw material monitored by Lu Xin is small and seasonal. Once there is a shortage, the factory will not only increase the cost, but also face a shortage of important raw materials and have to change the manufacturing formula.
As a supply chain manager, Lu Xin will make comprehensive judgments on all links of the supply chain based on his deep understanding of the industry, supported by a large amount of data, and make overall adjustments in time to ensure the safety and stability of the supply chain.
At present, in the face of huge demand, the supply of supply chain management talents in my country is still seriously insufficient.
Ren Haoxiang, Vice President of China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing: In the next three years, there will be a gap of 4.3 million talents in our country's supply chain.
At present, our talent training is still in the initiation stage, and (in the future) we will use all aspects of society to quickly improve the shortage of talents in the supply chain.
