In August 2005, Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. was established. According to the principle of flat organizational structure, the company adjusted the original organization, set up a lean and efficient team, enhanced its quick response ability to the market, and successfully completed the third leap.

Then, how did Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. develop from an ordinary automobile fleet to a well-known third-party logistics company in the industry? What experience has its three successful leaps provided to the domestic enterprise logistics that is transforming to the third party? With these questions, the reporter interviewed Xu, president of Yibin Anji Logistics Group.

(1) According to Xu, Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. has been engaged in road freight transportation for 26 years. The company's cargo transportation scope has covered more than 500 stations and points in all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions except Taiwan Province, Hongkong and Macau. The company has vehicles to and from Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Fujian, Guangdong and Shenzhen every day. Based on serving the production of Wuliangye Group and focusing on seizing the new opportunities brought by the western development, the company has formed an integrated logistics system including automobile cargo transportation, automobile repair, Yangtze River shipping, port and dock operation, automobile sales, commodity concrete and machinery manufacturing.

Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. has 1300 employees and fixed assets of 280 million yuan. The company has more than 65,438+0,000 transport vehicles, lifting, loading and engineering operations, 350 standard vehicle containers, and the cargo storage area is 50,000 square meters. In 2005, the company achieved an output value of 560 million yuan, and in 2006, the company expects to achieve an output value of 920 million yuan.

Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. 14 subsidiary: there are 6 automobile cargo transportation companies according to their business scope; In addition, Anji Logistics and Storage Department was established; Anji Logistics Shenzhou Transportation Co., Ltd.; Anji machinery manufacturing engineering company; Anji logistics port company; Anji Logistics Shipping Company; Anji Logistics Trading Company; Anji Chang 'an Driving School, etc. So as to present a good pattern of giving priority to one industry and diversified business.

In addition to setting up different types of branches, in order to provide customers with one-stop and overall optimized logistics services, the company is accelerating the planning of the construction of logistics parks. At present, the construction of Wuliangye Anji Logistics Center Park with the transformation of Anfu Wharf as the main body is under intense progress. The first phase of the project is expected to be officially put into operation after completion in August this year, and customs and commodity inspection will be stationed in the logistics center park at the same time. The company has declared and obtained the qualification of the first international freight forwarder in Yibin, and established Shanghai Anji Tong International Logistics Co., Ltd. in Shanghai Investment Holdings. At the same time, the comprehensive logistics park invested by the company in Chengdu has entered the planning and design stage. The company's road transportation, container terminal loading and unloading operations, Yangtze River shipping, warehousing, customs declaration, inspection, international freight forwarding and other businesses will have a synergistic effect, so that customers can fully experience efficient and caring services.

With the continuous expansion of business, Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. is facing more and more domestic and international competition. In order to seize the market opportunity, Xu, the president of the company with many years of industry experience, decisively decided to fully introduce international management standards and accelerate the pace of integration into the global economy.

It is understood that Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. passed the quality management system certification as early as June 2002. After several years' operation, the PDCA cycle method has been fully used to continuously improve the quality of production and service, and the quality management system has gradually coincided with the company's production and operation, standardizing the company's internal management, making every important link of production and operation under control, and improving customer satisfaction and company reputation year by year.

On the basis of the mature operation of the quality management system, Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. decided in March 2004 to fully introduce international management standards, establish an environmental management system and an occupational health and safety management system, and strengthen the investment in various hardware facilities and the improvement of software facilities. According to Xu, all employees of the company, Qi Xin, worked together to overcome the difficulties of promoting the two systems at the same time, and finally obtained the certification of environmental management system and occupational health and safety management system in March 2005, becoming the first enterprise in China logistics industry to pass the certification of three international management standards of China Quality Certification Center. The company further integrates the three international management standards of quality, environment and occupational health and safety, and implements the integrated management of "three standards in one". After 1 years of operation, the company's quality, environment and occupational health and safety performance have been continuously improved.

(2) Faced with the increasing lack of credit of some logistics enterprises, Xu knows that honest management is the foundation for the survival and development of enterprises. Based on this, the company has long paid attention to the construction of credit system, and effectively raised "honesty and law-abiding" to the level of corporate strategic development. Since Anji Logistics introduced the integrated management system of quality, environment and occupational health and safety in 2004, it has put "honesty and law-abiding" into the connotation of the company's integrated management policy and put it into practice continuously, which has been recognized by all walks of life. Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. was awarded "2004-2005A-level tax payment credit unit" by Yibin Local Taxation Bureau, "AAA-level enterprise with credit rating in 2005" by Sichuan Modern Logistics Association and the credit evaluation committee of Sichuan Macroeconomics Association, and "advanced unit of law-abiding integrity" by China Law-abiding Integrity Evaluation Center and Sichuan Legal Representative Rights Protection Center. Xu said that the reason why the company has made such great achievements in honest management is mainly due to the strict implementation of the following three measures:

The first is to improve the standardized management level of contracts. Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. combined with the continuous expansion of business scope, formulated the company's contract management measures, defined the contract management institutions, personnel and corresponding responsibilities, and determined the authority of different personnel to sign contracts according to the contract amount.

The second is to pay attention to the whole process management of the contract. Before the contract is signed, the business department of the company organizes the company office, finance department, technical safety department, quality and environment department and the specific contract signing unit to review the contract, and strictly controls the establishment, negotiation, signing, performance and funds of the contract. At the same time, carefully understand the qualification, business scope and credit status of the contract subject, sign each contract carefully according to your own production and operation ability, and perform it strictly according to the contract after signing it.

Three, in strict accordance with the national "Accounting Law" and other relevant laws and regulations, formulate and implement various accounting internal control systems. The company attaches great importance to improving the level of financial operation and has achieved a good balance between controlling the cost of capital and ensuring the stability of cash flow. And constantly improve the capital turnover rate and inventory turnover rate, realize zero inventory turnover flow of warehousing materials, improve the proportion of capital flow and quick action, and provide a solid financial guarantee for enterprises to perform their duties on time.

(3) After years of hard work, Xu fully realized that the informatization level of an enterprise often determines the modernization level of the enterprise. For transportation enterprises, it is very important to accurately grasp the vehicle position and speed, realize the scientific dispatching and full-range tracking of vehicles, and strengthen management and effectively promote safe production. Therefore, as early as 2004, Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. invested millions of yuan to introduce advanced GPS technology. At present, its software and hardware systems have been basically installed, and 300 vehicles in the first phase of the project have been put into formal operation. The shipping GPS system of Anji Logistics Group Shipping Company 10 ship is also being implemented.

Xu said: "The ship's GPS, which is being implemented at this stage, not only plays an important role when the Three Gorges Dam passes through the gate, but also has a navigation function, that is, the ship's driver can observe his position and channel situation in real time, and can operate the ship according to the hint of the channel map to improve the safety factor of navigation at night. After the completion of the second phase of the project, it is estimated that 65,438+0,000 vehicles will run in the network, which will play an important role in promoting the company's logistics development. "

In addition, since June 2005, Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. has also brought the enterprise ERP (Enterprise Resource Calculation) logistics information platform into the enterprise informatization process. This indicates that the informatization construction of Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. has entered a new era.

Xu said that in the process of integrating its own resources, Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. must solve the problems of business operation mode reorganization and process optimization. Therefore, in June this year, after many investigations, the company chose Tianzhou Software Company, which inherited the logistics information technology of UPS, an American logistics giant. From a practical point of view, it takes the third-party and fourth-party logistics information tracking, bill management integration, order and dealer management, warehousing, contracts, business invoices and customer e-commerce portal system as the main body, integrates GPS system, mobile phone positioning module and bar code system, and customizes the company's logistics business based on the logistics information management platform. After the development is completed, customers can send orders directly online and track the order processing step by step. Customers in Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. can automatically query their own business statistics, all departments within the company can fully share information, and can conduct remote financial and business management of the company's business points stationed all over the country.

The official launch of the company's ERP information management system has greatly improved the company's modernization and management level, injected more scientific and technological content into the company's business processes, further improved the market competitiveness, and laid a solid foundation for the company to practice its internal strength and upgrade in an all-round way. Xu said.

Xu is not satisfied with his grades. In his enterprise blueprint, there are more ways to go. He repeatedly stressed that it is necessary to constantly carry out internal management innovation, improve internal mechanisms, and form flexible incentive assessment methods; Externally, we should further explore the market and extend the development space.

"By 20 10, the main economic indicators of Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. will achieve sales income of 2.5 billion yuan, making the company a first-class logistics enterprise and building a comprehensive logistics base in southwest China." Xu is full of longing for the future.
