Three Departments Release Guidelines To Improve Enterprise Supply Chain Management

　　 In order to speed up the implementation of the upgrading project of the manufacturing supply chain and promote the modern supply chain system to be deeply embedded in the manufacturing industry chain, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Commerce, recently issued the Guidelines for Improving the Supply Chain Management Level of Manufacturing Enterprises (Trial).

　　 The supply chain management of manufacturing enterprises is an activity and process that manufacturing enterprises use information technology and other means to comprehensively plan the business flow, logistics, capital flow, information flow, etc. in the supply chain links such as product design, purchase, production, sales, service, and plan, organize, coordinate, and control.

　　 The Guide puts forward overall requirements, and it is a systematic project to improve the supply chain management level of manufacturing enterprises. It should be guided by the deployment of supply chain strategies from a high starting point, ensure smooth circulation as the bottom line, improve quality and efficiency as the goal, and layout in the path of high-end, intelligent, and green. The main body to improve the level of supply chain management is the enterprise, and the key is also the enterprise. Manufacturing enterprises should play the main role, strengthen the thinking of modern supply chain management, aim at the development trend, and constantly improve the level of supply chain management by benchmarking. Industry associations, bidding service agencies, supply chain solution providers, platform enterprises, etc. should adhere to the service orientation to provide intellectual support and system solutions for enterprise supply chain management.

　　 For specific tasks, the Guide proposes to strengthen multi-dimensional collaboration in the supply chain of enterprises. The multi-dimensional collaboration in the supply chain refers to the multi-dimensional collaboration between the nodes of the supply chain and the whole chain of enterprises through organizational coordination, process interchange, information synchronization, resource sharing, supply and demand matching, to reduce the risk of information asymmetry, improve market responsiveness and customer value, and help the supply chain improve quality, cost and efficiency.

　　 Realize the lean management of enterprise supply chain. Lean supply chain refers to the accurate identification of all kinds of redundancy in the supply chain network, the implementation of process re-engineering in the whole process from product design to customer use, the upstream and downstream collaboration to eliminate unnecessary costs and waste, shorten business processes and cycles, and use as few resources as possible to meet customer needs with maximum efficiency.

　　 Accelerate the digital transformation of the enterprise's supply chain, which means integrating quantitative operational data in all links of the supply chain, realizing the digitalization, modeling and visualization of the supply chain operation, improving the ability of analysis and prediction, decision support, risk management and control, and reducing the enterprise's operating costs by relying on the new generation of information technology, such as the Internet of Things, 5G, blockchain, big data, industrial Internet, artificial intelligence, etc, Improve productivity.

　　 Improve the green supply chain system of enterprises. The green supply chain refers to integrating the concepts and technologies of environmental protection and resource conservation into the whole supply chain process of product design, raw materials and parts selection, production and manufacturing, packaging, warehousing and transportation, sales and use, scrap recycling, etc., identifying the green attributes of each link and conducting effective management to minimize the environmental impact of the whole process, Maximize resource utilization efficiency.

　　 To build a global supply chain network of enterprises, a global supply chain is a supply chain organizational form that realizes the whole process collaboration of product design, procurement, production, sales, service, etc. in a global scope. It is an important means for manufacturing enterprises to build a new development pattern, expand comparative advantages, reduce production and operation costs, and enhance core competitiveness.

　　 Improve the enterprise's supply chain resilience and security level. Supply chain resilience and security are interrelated and highly unified. Resilience emphasizes the enterprise's ability to effectively resist supply chain shocks and quickly recover from supply chain fractures. Security emphasizes the enterprise's ability to reduce the probability of shocks and stabilize its operation under risk shocks.

　　 The Guide also requires improving supply chain management service support, strengthening consulting service support,) strengthening standard service support, and strengthening talent service support.

　　 The three departments require all units to strengthen publicity and interpretation, promote enterprise organization and implementation, further strengthen coordination with technical transformation, standard system revision, enterprise operation and management personnel training, pilot demonstration and other policies, improve supply chain management service support and safeguard measures, and take multiple measures to improve the supply chain management level of manufacturing enterprises.
