Zero inventory management case?

The case of zero inventory management is of great reference value, and the occurrence of every classic case is unrepeatable, and it is indispensable for both the right time and the right place. Zhong Da Consulting will introduce you to the case of zero inventory management.

I. Introduction to Midea's Enterprise Background Midea Group was established in 1968. It is a large-scale comprehensive modern enterprise group focusing on the household appliance industry and involved in real estate, logistics and other fields. It is one of the largest production bases and export bases of household appliances in China.

The marketing network is all over the country, with 10 branches in the United States, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Canada and Russia.

Midea Group has the largest and most comprehensive industrial cluster of small household appliances and kitchenware in China. At present, Midea Group has 1 10,000 employees, and owns more than ten brands such as Midea and Ling Wei. In addition to Shunde headquarters, it has ten production bases in Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Wuhu, Hubei, Huai 'an, Jiangsu, Kunming, Changsha, Hefei, Chongqing, Anhui and Suzhou, Jiangsu, with a total area of 7 million square meters.

Midea Group's main products are household air conditioners, commercial air conditioners, large central air conditioners, fans, rice cookers, refrigerators, microwave ovens, drinking fountains, washing machines, electric heaters, dishwashers, induction cookers, water heaters, cookers, disinfection cabinets, electric hot pots, electric ovens, vacuum cleaners, small household appliances and other household appliances supporting products such as compressors, motors, magnetrons, transformers and enameled wires, which are the largest in China.

Looking forward to the future, Midea will continue to develop steadily, forming an industrial pattern of industrial diversification, large-scale development, specialized management, regional management and differentiated management. With the goal of maximizing the overall value of the enterprise, we will further improve the organizational structure and management model of the enterprise.

Second, the SWOT analysis of Midea's zero inventory. Third, the main problems encountered by Midea-unreasonable and scarce storage resources. First, the shortage of storage resources, such as peak season:

1. The storage resources in peak season are seriously short of stocking and balanced production, which determines that a large number of strategic materials, bottleneck materials and some models are in short supply in peak season.

Reserve; The existing storage resources are too scattered, the utilization rate of storage space is low, and it is difficult to integrate and utilize storage resources.

2. Insufficient allocation of logistics equipment resources in peak season, such as handling equipment and conveying equipment. Less battery pallet forklift affects delivery speed and handling capacity; The elevator transportation capacity is insufficient, resulting in a large number of people waiting in line and waste of materials; There is no stacker with stacking height, which makes the storage mode of storage cages that can be stacked impossible; Second, the lack of logistics functional areas and the unreasonable layout of warehouses and lines have caused a large number of logistics distribution operations to be carried out in multiple operation areas such as floors, east-west areas, upstairs and downstairs; The construction of the factory building in the new area has greatly increased the workload of material handling in the three areas (East-West Area and New Area).

The warehouse is not only a material warehouse, but also a supporting warehouse. There is no reasonable temporary storage area for materials before the line, no reasonable storage area for recycled materials and no ideal unloading area, which makes it difficult to put in place fixed management inside and outside the factory. In order to facilitate distribution, we set up our own warehouses, resulting in a large number of warehouses, which are built in areas with concentrated economy and convenient transportation, so that the warehouse layout is extremely unreasonable, resulting in a large number of surplus warehouses in some areas and insufficient storage capacity in some areas.

Third, the structure of warehouse operation area is unreasonable, the standardization and unification of turnover boxes and floors are low, and the loading and unloading efficiency is low, which can not meet the needs of production and sales. For example, when leaving the warehouse, the area connected with the vehicle is unreasonable, which leads to an increase in the time of leaving the warehouse.

-Immature storage management technology. 1. The information technology is incomplete and backward (65,438+0), which can't meet the new management requirements of accurate location management, that is, the location where the products are placed and the order of receiving and sending on the location; 2. The age of the goods cannot be accurately known, and the backlog of goods is long; Unable to guarantee the accuracy of inventory and punctuality of delivery, customers complain a lot; 3. The warehousing operation mode is backward, the information processing speed is slow, and the information value is not fully reflected. 4. The development of warehousing technology is unbalanced, the information situation is not optimistic, enterprises lack knowledge and understanding of logistics information, logistics information construction starts late and advances slowly, and the overall level of logistics information is low, and its information construction is rarely planned from the overall goal of supply chain.

Second, the concept of warehousing and distribution management is backward, traditional and single, the new service concept has not penetrated, the supply chain idea has not been implemented, and the relationship with suppliers and customers has not risen to a stage; Third, the information system is not well used and is not well combined with basic operations. There are still many incomplete factors in warehousing and other operations, and there is no good understanding of these links.

-Lack of warehousing talents and imperfect assessment 1. Lack of warehousing talents to develop the warehousing industry requires mastering certain professional skills, operational talents and warehousing management talents, while talents in these areas in the United States are relatively scarce. The personnel training system has not been greatly implemented, and only the management skills of talents are paid attention to, while the operation skills of talents are ignored.

Second, the personnel assessment system is not perfect. Fourthly, the improvement method and effect prediction of the problem of beauty. Midea's improvement methods for these problems-aiming at the shortage of storage resources, unreasonable layout phenomenon 1, shortage of storage resources and shortage of warehouse outlets.

Focus on business contacts with third-party logistics companies.

2. Inadequate and unreasonable equipment selection, logistics equipment selection and configuration still follow the "most suitable principle", and the mechanization degree of logistics operation is appropriately improved, mainly considering balanced heavy diesel internal combustion forklift, electric pallet truck and manual hydraulic forklift.

This kind of equipment, such as loading and unloading, is used for goods entering and leaving the warehouse, stacking and turning in the warehouse. It plays an important role in improving warehouse management, reducing warehouse labor intensity, improving the labor efficiency of receiving and sending goods, and reducing the loss of goods in operation.

3. Insufficient logistics functional areas and unreasonable layout. ABC classifies goods according to their turnover rate.

In the stocking area, stocking area 1 and stocking area 2 are set, which can be operated in both directions, and two stocking areas are set to improve efficiency.

In all warehouse operations, import and export is an important operation item, and the throughput of loading and unloading platform is the biggest key to affect this operation.

It is suggested to build a loading and unloading platform of the same scale on the other side of the warehouse to improve the loading and unloading efficiency.

-In view of the immature warehouse management technology and backward management concept, 1) establish a warehouse control center to unify the management of personnel and equipment and change the assignment mode of task management; 2) The warehouse storage space is managed in a unitized way, and the storage space is uniformly distributed by the control center; 3) Implement the time window system for loading and unloading vehicles, and give real-time feedback to the loading and unloading vehicles within a limited time.

4) Strengthen the concept of recycling logistics and provide good service for returning goods. 5) Strengthen the concept of supply chain, and strengthen cooperation among enterprises, instead of closing their own information.

Establish a special information transmission and discussion mechanism with customers and suppliers.

Analyze and discuss information regularly.

6) Provide fast and accurate guidance for warehouse receiving and delivery operations; 2) Due to the incompleteness and backwardness of information technology, ensure the overall operation level of the warehouse and effectively meet the needs of production and sales.

2) WMS and bar code system software are introduced to solve the problems of material returning to factory, logistics status and rapid matching.

3) Accelerate the construction of public information platform and realize the informationization of warehouse management.

4) According to the relationship between market supply and demand, determine the construction and transformation of storage hardware facilities, improve the mechanization, automation and intelligence transformation of storage, and improve the utilization rate of storage resources and the efficiency of storage management.

3. Management and design of basic operation mode Inventory management financial voucher settlement warehousing management warehousing transfer target shelf pallet strategy-lack of warehousing talents to strengthen the training of warehousing talents, especially focusing on the training of practical ability.

Enterprises set up fixed warehousing training institutions to provide different training for warehousing personnel in different positions. Training not only pays attention to the training of professional knowledge, but also pays attention to practical operation, bringing theoretical reserve cadres into deeper practice and conducting on-site guidance and demonstration.

Prediction of the improvement effect of Midea: automatic picking and delivery according to the configured instructions, and optimization of warehousing tracking in the warehousing process; tracking and warehousing optimization from goods off-line to goods on shelves; automatic warehousing and delivery on shelves according to the configured instructions, and optimization of warehousing tracking; tracking, analysis and decision-making from goods delivery instructions to goods outbound picking and delivery; making full use of inventory, receipt and delivery data to analyze the market sum, and transparently storing the information of performance analysis library: you can obtain it timely, accurately and completely.
