Find the impact of supply chain efficiency of the core issues: the enterprise's development strategy as a guide to the industry benchmark as a reference, a comprehensive look at the operation of the enterprise supply chain situation, identify the constraints enterprise supply chain low efficiency of the core issues. In the diagnosis, we should pay attention to grasp the nature of the problem rather than appearance.
find the current situation can be resolved: There are many problems that can not be solved under the current situation: for example, for the shoe-making industry, raw material procurement and production cycle takes about 30 days, while a pair of shoes the sales cycle may be only 30 days, As the production cycle is relatively long sales cycle is short, not sales-driven replenishment according to the production, to be stocking ahead of the production, which lead to high inventories, and the product backlog that may arise. But at present difficult for enterprises in a short time of procurement and production cycles. More possible is to consider purchasing the longest part of the procurement of production time so that we can more significantly reduce the order response time. Therefore, supply chain optimization can shorten the procurement cycle time as the main objective. In this way, the problem is the current problem can be solved.
Develop problem-solving objectives, methodology, resource needs and the value of the enterprise: First, companies need to invest resources to address the questions, a clear problem-solving to achieve the goals, objectives must be clear, measurable, without ambiguity. Second, the analysis of problem solving ideas, develop a detailed work plan to ensure that plans are biodegradable enforceable; third: an estimated resource requirements, how many people need to how much time and staff on how to participate in project work, this is needed to solve the Before making detailed plans. Plan more carefully, the more able to find problem-solving difficulties, to ensure that the project process control, reducing implementation risks. Of course, the highly detailed operational plan can be more accessible to high-level recognition and support.
Diagnosis in the supply chain process, the problem can not be found to proceed only from the complaints of various sectors, but also with the basic principles of supply chain management. The same time, the industry benchmark for comparison, to find the need to address the problem.
Diagnosis for businesses to enhance supply chain management is very important, which determines the direction of the enterprise resource inputs. In order to ensure a comprehensive review of the supply chain, can make use of the experience of outside experts to help enterprise diagnosis.
Project
Through the supply chain, the diagnosis, right to resolve any problems, solve the ideas and improvement plans are very clear, so the third step of the job is the implementation of improvement plans. Difficulty of this step lies in the supply chain to improve the project process control, to ensure that the project in accordance with the intended goal. Enterprise project team set up to advance the best supply chain optimization, because optimization of the supply chain will be cross-sectoral boundaries, the need for more coordination, require high-level authorization, through the formation of an inter-departmental teams can effectively promote the project work.
The project leaders and participants need to have the basic skills of project management. Plan is to promote the entire project process, the baton, in addition to the overall preparation of project plans, project progress is also need to prepare bi-weekly rolling plan. Plan for each one should be able to assigned tasks, there is a clear responsibility to people, time constraints and deliver results. Plan to do the more detailed the better project control, project the higher the probability of success.
In the project to promote the process, the project should pay attention to always pay attention to the value of the enterprise should be to advance value-driven supply chain optimization. A project to obtain high-level, project team members and other staff support because the enterprise can generate its own value, is for participating members, supply chain management is a new field, the project's success, for them is also an important part on the professional experience. Therefore, the promotion of the project should also consider the value of project-related personnel to ensure that the project members of the initiative. However, internal and external environments are constantly changing, the original value of the business things, in the new environment may have no value, the need for the contents of the original project scope to make changes. In order to ensure the project is on the right track, need to constantly examine each project the value of the enterprise to ensure that projects on the enterprise value maximization.
After chain after diagnosis should be able to ask the consulting firm providing solutions to specific issues, but also easy to program for the consulting firm to determine the merits of effective control of the project progress. Through the introduction of an external consultant, you can quickly see the implementation of the results, as soon as possible to benefit, is to promote a good way to enhance the supply chain.
How to invest in the supply chain
The supply chain optimization approach is basically the management or operational change, which is subject to the actual business impact of hardware environment, such as the level of technology constraints, business own logistics capacity constraints; in this case, the companies may need to invest in the supply chain, construction, restrictions on breakthroughs in key bottlenecks, in general, business investment in the construction supply chain, there are three main investment directions:
Construction of information systems: According to the preceding analysis, information technology can improve the data base and to facilitate standardization of data, and metrics to provide data support, but also can improve project management skills in-house staff. In addition, information technology can contribute to the lower reaches of the supply chain information-sharing, speed up the whole supply chain responsiveness to market needs, help to improve supply chain efficiency.
Improve production processes to achieve delay Customization: The customization is a delay in the supply chain optimization is a basic optimization strategy, but to achieve delayed customization, the general need for improvements in business equipment investment. After a delay of customized inputs can bring significant improvements in the efficiency of the supply chain to reduce inventory, improve supply chain responsiveness.
To use an external professional consultants to address supply-chain diagnostic identified the core problem. Operating in a relatively short period of time through the project supply chain can quickly upgrade to quickly see the benefits, to borrow external resources, internal staff training, purchase of external data, such as industry benchmarking study reports.
Supply chain need to persevere
Supply chain optimization does not end point, can not see the effects of a project stalled. Market conditions and customer needs are constantly changing, a truly excellent supply chain requires not only efficient, but also be able to adapt quickly to changing customer needs, invariably will lead to fast backward, efficient supply chain mean that we have been good. Therefore, companies need to continue to optimize the supply chain, continuing infrastructure, diagnose, optimize the supply chain optimization process. Only in this way can we continuously improve the entire supply chain competitiveness.
