Reprint the following information for your reference.

The supply chain originated from Peter. Drucker put forward the "economic chain", and then through Michael. Porter developed into a "value chain" and eventually evolved into a "supply chain". Its definition is: "around the core enterprises, through the control of information flow, logistics and capital flow, starting with the purchase of raw materials, intermediate products and final products are manufactured, and finally the products are delivered to consumers by the sales network. It is a functional chain model that connects suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and end users into a whole. Therefore, a complete supply chain should include suppliers (raw material suppliers or spare parts suppliers), manufacturers (processing plants or assembly plants), distributors (agents or wholesalers), retailers (hypermarkets, department stores, supermarkets, specialty stores, convenience stores and grocery stores) and consumers.

Significance of supply chain management

The ultimate goal of a company to adopt supply chain management has three meanings: (1) to improve the maximum satisfaction of customers (to improve the reliability and flexibility of delivery) (2) to reduce the company's costs (to reduce inventory, to reduce the cost of production and distribution) (3) to optimize the overall "process quality" of the enterprise (to eliminate error costs and abnormal events). By establishing a strategic cooperative relationship between suppliers and manufacturers, the following objectives can be achieved: Supply chain management (SCM) is defined as a management method that effectively organizes suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, distribution centers and distributors to manufacture, transfer, distribute and sell products under the condition of meeting a certain level of customer service, so as to minimize the cost of the whole supply chain system.

It is an integrated management idea and method, which carries out logistics planning and control functions from suppliers to end users in the supply chain. From the point of view of a single enterprise, it means that enterprises can gain competitive advantage by improving the relationship between upstream and downstream supply chains and integrating and optimizing the information flow, logistics and capital flow in the supply chain. Supply chain management is an effective management of enterprises, which embodies the optimization of the whole operation process in strategy and tactics. Integrate and optimize the business efficiency of suppliers, manufacturers and retailers, so that goods can be produced and sold in the right quantity at the right place, at the right time and at the best cost.

Supply chain management characteristics

1. customer power, the increasing customer power has an important impact on the design and management of supply chain. Because customers' needs and expectations are relatively fast, the supply chain should be fast and agile, not slow and rigid. 2. Long-term positioning. A well-run supply chain can improve the long-term performance of a single company and the whole supply chain. The emphasis on long-term performance shows that the supply chain should cooperate with different participants such as suppliers, customers, intermediaries and service enterprises for a long time, rather than for a short time. Importantly, long-term positioning pays more attention to relationship exchange, while short-term exchange tends to transaction exchange. 3. Use technology. It can be said that leverage technology is the center of changes that have an impact on the supply chain, and computing power and the Internet have contributed to most of the changes. 4. Strengthen cross-organizational communication. Because the supply chain depends on a large amount of real-time information, it needs information to be transmitted seamlessly between organizations. 5. Inventory control. Another feature of supply chain management includes various activities under the inventory control category. One aspect of inventory control in supply chain is to change from intermittent mode to continuous flow. 6. Inter-organizational collaboration. Because the main goal of supply chain management is to optimize the performance of the whole supply chain, rather than optimizing the performance of a single enterprise, the cooperation between supply chain participants is very important.

Supply chain management method

The production of supply chain management theory lags far behind specific technologies and methods. Supply chain management initially appeared in some specific ways. Common supply chain management methods:

fast reaction

Quick response (QR) means that in the face of a multi-variety and small-batch buyer's market, logistics enterprises have prepared all kinds of "elements" instead of "products", and can extract "elements" at the fastest speed when users make requests, and "assemble" them in time to provide the required services or products. QR is a supply chain management method developed by American textile and garment industry.

Effective customer response (ECR)

Effective customer response (ECR) is short for effective customer response. It is a supply chain management strategy developed by 1992 from American grocery industry. It is also a supply chain management solution composed of manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and other supply chain members, and all parties coordinate and cooperate to meet the needs of consumers better, faster and at lower cost. Effective customer response is a supply chain management strategy, which is based on the principle of meeting customer requirements and minimizing the cost of logistics process, and can make accurate response in time to optimize commodity supply or service process.

Comparison between ECR and QR

(1) The difference between QR and ECR ECR is mainly aimed at the food industry, and its main goal is to reduce the cost of each link in the supply chain and improve efficiency. QR is mainly aimed at general commodities and textile industry, and its main goal is to quickly respond to customer demand and replenish goods quickly. This is because the product characteristics of the non-staple food industry and the textile and garment industry are different: the products operated by the non-staple food industry are mostly functional products, and the life cycle of each product is relatively long (except fresh food), so the loss of ordering too much (or too little) is relatively small. The products operated by the textile and garment industry are mostly innovative products, and the life span of each product is relatively short. So the loss caused by too many points (or too few points) is relatively large. (l) Different emphasis. QR focuses on shortening the delivery lead time and responding to customer demand quickly; ECR is committed to reducing and eliminating the waste of supply chain and improving the effectiveness of supply chain operation. (2) differences in management methods. QR mainly relies on information technology, through joint product development, to achieve rapid upgrading and shorten the time to market; In addition to launching new products quickly and effectively, ECR also implements effective commodity management to effectively promote scrolling. (3) Different QRs in different industries are suitable for industries with high unit value, strong seasonality, poor substitutability and low purchase frequency. ECR is suitable for industries with low product unit value, high inventory turnover rate, low gross profit, strong substitutability and high purchasing frequency. (4) The focus of reform is different. The focus of QR reform is the speed of replenishment and ordering, with the aim of eliminating the shortage to the greatest extent and purchasing only when goods are needed. The focus of ECR reform is efficiency and cost (II) * * * The same feature is that it transcends the boundaries between enterprises and pursues logistics efficiency through cooperation. It is embodied in the following three aspects: 1. Enjoy business information between trading partners. 2. Commodity suppliers further set foot in the retail industry and provide high-quality logistics services. 3. The ordering and delivery business between enterprises is carried out through EDI, which realizes the paperless transmission of ordering data or delivery data.
