The goal of supply chain management is to comprehensively manage all aspects of the whole supply chain (from suppliers, manufacturers, distributors to consumers) on the premise of meeting customers' needs, such as the goods flow, information flow and capital flow of the whole supply chain from procurement, material management, production, distribution and marketing to consumers, so as to minimize the logistics and inventory costs.
Supply chain management refers to various activities and processes of planning, coordinating, operating, controlling and optimizing the whole supply chain system. Its goal is to deliver the right products that customers need at the right time, in the right place, in the right quantity, in the right quality and in the right state, and to achieve the best total cost.
Extended data:
Supply chain management refers to optimizing the operation of the supply chain, so that the supply chain will include enterprise supply chain management from the beginning of procurement to meeting the EMBA customers with the least cost.
Seven principles of supply chain management: divide customer groups according to the service characteristics required by customers; According to the customer demand and the profitability of the enterprise, design the logistics network of the enterprise; Listen to market demand information and design products closer to customers; Time delay; Determine the source of goods and procurement strategically, and establish a win-win cooperation strategy with suppliers; Establish an information system in the whole supply chain field; Establish the performance appraisal standard of the whole supply chain.
concrete objectives
(1) service. Logistics system directly links production and reproduction, production and consumption, so it needs strong service. This service is characterized by its subordinate nature. To take users as the center and establish the concept of "customer first", it is not necessary to take profits as the center. The logistics industry takes the form of delivery and distribution, which is the embodiment of service. Technically, "just-in-time supply mode" is also the performance of its service.
(2) Fast and timely. Timeliness is the extension of service, the requirement of users and the requirement of social development and progress. The reproduction cycle of the whole society depends on every link, and the continuous progress of society promotes the progress of society. The shorter the material circulation time, the faster the speed, the shorter the social reproduction cycle and the faster the social progress.
Fast and timely is the established goal of logistics, and this feature is the essential feature of logistics activities in modern economic environment. The technology and facilities used in logistics fields such as direct logistics, combined transport and expressway are the embodiment of this goal.
(3) saving. Savings is an important law in the economic field. In the field of logistics, in addition to saving circulation time, because the circulation process consumes a lot, the use value of goods is basically not increased or improved, and relying on saving and reducing investment is an important means to improve relative output. As the "third profit source", the logistics process mainly depends on saving.
In order to achieve this goal, we can improve logistics capacity by popularizing intensive methods and take various measures of saving, saving labor and reducing consumption.
(4) Scale optimization. Taking logistics scale as the goal of logistics system is to pursue scale benefits. Large-scale production in the production field has long been recognized by the society. There are economies of scale in the logistics field, but it is difficult to form a standard scale model because the stability of the logistics industry is worse than that of the production system.
In the field of logistics, the purpose of establishing logistics systems in different ways, such as decentralization or centralization, and studying the degree of logistics intensification is to obtain economies of scale.
(5) inventory adjustment. Inventory control is an extension of timeliness, a requirement of the logistics industry itself, and involves the interests of logistics. Through its own inventory, logistics plays a role in ensuring the needs of thousands of manufacturers and consumers in Qian Qian, thus creating a good social external environment.
At the same time, logistics is a part of national resource allocation, and the establishment of the system must consider the needs of national resource allocation and macro-control. In the field of logistics, the correct determination of inventory mode, inventory quantity, inventory structure and inventory distribution are all concrete problems of inventory adjustment.
