With the continuous expansion of business, Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. faces increasing competition at home and abroad. In order to take advantage of the market, Xu Rongqing, the president of the company with many years of experience in the industry, decisively decided to fully import international management standards to speed up the pace of integration into the global economy.

It is understood that Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. as early as June 2002 through the quality management system certification. After nearly a few years of operation, make full use of the PDCA cycle of continuous improvement of production and service quality, quality management system and the company's production and operation of the gradual coincidence, standardize the company's internal management, so that the production and operation of each important link is in a state of control, customer satisfaction and the company's reputation is rising year by year.

Based on the mature operation of the quality management system, Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. decided in March 2004 to comprehensively import international management standards, environmental management system and occupational health and safety management system construction, and strengthened the investment in hardware facilities and software facilities to improve. According to Xu Rongqing, all the staff of the company worked together to overcome the difficulty of promoting the two systems at the same time, and finally obtained the certificate of environmental management system and occupational health and safety management system in March 2005 and awarded the license, becoming the first enterprise in China's logistics industry to be certified by the China Quality Certification Center for the three international management standards. The company then integrated the three internationalized management standards of quality, environment and occupational health and safety, and implemented the integrated management of "three standards in one". Through more than one year's operation, the company's performance in quality, environment and occupational health and safety has been continuously improved.

(2), in the face of the growing lack of credit in some logistics companies, Xu Rongqing knows that honesty is the basis for the survival and growth of enterprises. Based on this, the company has long been focusing on the construction of credit system, effectively raising the "integrity and law-abiding" to the level of strategic development of the enterprise, since 2004, when Anji Logistics imported the integrated management system of quality, environment, occupational health and safety, the "integrity and law-abiding" into the company's integrated management policy connotation and Since 2004, when Anji Logistics introduced the integrated management system of quality, environment and occupational health and safety, "integrity and law-abiding" has been incorporated into the connotation of the company's integrated management policy and has been put into practice continuously, which has been recognized by all walks of life. Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. has been awarded as "2004-2005 Class A Tax Credit Unit" by Yibin Local Taxation Bureau, "2005 AAA Grade Enterprise of Credit Rating" by Sichuan Modern Logistics Association and Credit Evaluation Committee of Sichuan Macroeconomic Society.

Xu Rongqing said that the reason why the company has made such great achievements in integrity management, mainly depends on the strict implementation of the following three measures: First, improve the standardized management level of the contract. Anji Logistics Group Company combined with the business scope of the expanding situation, the development of the company's "contract management approach", a clear contract management organizations, personnel and the corresponding duties, according to the size of the contract amount to determine the authority of different personnel to sign the contract.

The second is to focus on the whole process of contract management. Before the signing of the contract, the company's management department organized the company office, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Technology and Safety, quality and environmental protection department, the specific contract contracting unit to review the contract, the contract in the project, negotiation, signing, fulfillment and funding and other important aspects of strict control. At the same time carefully understand the qualifications of the contract subject, scope of operation, creditworthiness, etc., in accordance with their own production and operation capacity to seriously sign each contract, after the contract is signed, strictly in accordance with the contract agreement to fulfill.

And for transportation-oriented enterprises, accurately grasp the location of the vehicle, vehicle speed, to achieve the scientific scheduling of the vehicle, the whole tracking, to strengthen the management, and effectively promote the safety of production is critical. So, as early as 2004, Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. invested millions of dollars to introduce GPS advanced technology. At present, its hardware and software systems have been basically installed, a project of 300 vehicles have been put into formal operation. Anji Logistics Group shipping company 10 ships shipping GPS system is also being implemented.

Xu Rongqing said: "The shipping GPS being implemented at this stage, in addition to playing an important role in the Three Gorges Dam when crossing the locks, but also has a navigation function, that is, the ship's driver can observe in real time to their location and the channel conditions, able to operate the ship according to the prompts of the channel map, and to increase the factor of safety in the night navigation. After the completion of the second phase of the project, it is expected that another 1,000 vehicles will be put into operation, 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 incorporated the enterprise ERP (enterpriseresourceplanning) logistics information platform into the enterprise informationization process. This marks a brand new period of informationization of Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co.

Xu Rongqing said, Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. in the process of integration of the enterprise's own resources, must address the restructuring of the business operation mode and process optimization. So, in June this year, after much investigation, the company chose to inherit the U.S. logistics giant UPS logistics information technology Tianzhou Software Company, from the practical point of view, third-party, fourth-party logistics information tracking, billing management integration, orders and dealer management, warehousing, contracts, trade in and out of the inventory, customer e-commerce portal system and other modules as the main body of the integration of the GPS system, the cell phone positioning module, the barcode system, the company's logistics business based on logistics information management platform customized development. After the completion of the development, the customer can send orders directly on the network, and can step by step track the order processing, the customer can automatically query their own business statistics in the Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. within the company's various departments to fully achieve the information **** enjoy, and can be stationed in the company across the country for the business of the point of remote financial and business management.

"The formal on-line of the company's ERP information management system has greatly enhanced the company's modernization and management level, injecting more technological content into the company's business processes, further improving market competitiveness, and laying a solid foundation for the enterprise to practice good internal skills and comprehensively upgrade." Xu Rongqing said.

Xu Rongqing is not satisfied with the existing achievements, in his business blueprint, there is more to go. He repeatedly emphasized that, internally, we should continue to management innovation, improve the internal mechanism, the formation of flexible incentives and assessment methods; externally, we should further develop the market and extend the development space.

"By 2010, Yibin Anji Logistics Group Co., Ltd. will realize sales revenue of 2.5 billion yuan of the main economic indicators, will make the company into a top logistics enterprises, building out the largest comprehensive logistics base in southwest China." Xu Rongqing hesitant about the future.
