Walking into the Sany Group factory, I saw an assembly line several hundred meters long. More than 100 robots were automating more than 10 kinds of robots covering up and down materials, sorting, forming, welding, spraying, inspection, sand cleaning, polishing, tightening, etc. The production site is clean and tidy, with almost no oil and dust. With the blessing of intelligent technology, the production cycle of the "Lighthouse Factory" is getting faster and faster-it takes 45 minutes to roll off a pump truck, and it only takes 20 days from order to delivery.
Behind the efficient production is Sany Group's meticulous and stable supply chain guarantee. From sourcing procurement, to fulfillment and delivery, to warehousing management, and to pick-up and distribution between workshops, Sany Group has also established a complete set of digital and intelligent supply chain management processes. Especially in the fulfillment and delivery link, Sany Group has realized the digital and intelligent coordination of brand manufacturers, three-party suppliers and local service providers through cooperation with JD Industrial Products, and the demand department, distribution information, and storage status of each order material , Are clearly recorded in the system to achieve visual management.
Relevant procurement management personnel of Sany Group said, “In the past, where the logistics were delivered and when the goods could be delivered, they could only be asked one by one by phone. Now you can check the progress of the purchase order at any time through a tablet computer. Management efficiency has been greatly improved."
As one of the top 100 machinery industry in China, the supply chain management of Sany Group has typical industry characteristics, namely, complex products and strict processes. It is understood that the daily management of Sany Group reaches tens of thousands of suppliers, and the types of goods involved in procurement are more than one million. The same batch of orders often involves multiple suppliers, multiple warehousing and multiple logistics, and it is normal in the past to perform multiple packages and multiple batches. However, due to the strict management of the Sany Park, conventional logistics cannot enter and leave at will, and the warehouse management personnel can only go to the park gate to sign for receipt, which is inefficient and difficult to manage.
In the warehousing process, Sany Group follows a strict "three-line warehousing" process, that is, the purchased goods must be scanned into the warehouse through the delivery list, the photo upload system is compared with the physical object, and the logistics order number is checked and received. The three-step operation can be finalized. confirm. In the traditional performance mode, the incomplete information of the receipt list attached to the package will also greatly reduce the efficiency of warehousing.
Through cooperation with JD Industrial Products, Sany Group has carried out a thorough digital and intelligent transformation of the traditional delivery model.
Through the intelligent supply chain decision-making system of JD Industrial Products, Sany Group has opened up the spot and futures inventory of brand manufacturers, third-party suppliers and local service providers, and realized digital unified scheduling, thereby shortening the delivery cycle from the source. Library management personnel can check logistics information and contract performance progress at any time through the system.
In order to solve the problems of "difficulty in receiving goods" and "difficulty in storage" in the traditional performance model, JD Industrial has established a distribution center for Sany Group. Distributed packages of multiple categories, multiple orders, and multiple logistics channels are stored in the enterprise distribution center in advance for integration, and then a dedicated vehicle that meets the management requirements of Sany Park will be collected and delivered to the warehouse at a specified time according to demand. This process is not simply “turning the pieces into a whole”: the professional staff of the enterprise distribution center will “pre-inspect” the package, match the order information with the package, and generate detailed product information, purchase requisition number, The receipt list of the channel order number allows the Sany warehouse staff to easily perform "three-line warehousing".
The value of number intelligence is far more than that. Based on supply chain data, JD Industrial Products can also help Sany Group to predict the consumption of industrial products, so as to formulate a more reasonable procurement plan, further improve the science and efficiency of supply chain management, and realize intelligent and efficient operation.
Chen Esheng, General Manager of the Manufacturing Industry Department of JD.com, said that JD.com has established in-depth cooperation with 31 of China’s top 100 machinery industry companies. JD.com has achieved a large number of suppliers through digitalization of commodities, digitalization of procurement, digitalization of contract performance, and digitalization of operations. And the intelligent sourcing of goods, through the intelligent performance decision-making system and supply chain resources, carry out on-demand delivery. In the future, JD Industrial Products will continue to serve the digital-intelligence transformation of the supply chain of the machinery industry and manufacturing industry relying on solid infrastructure, an efficient digital-intelligence social supply chain, innovative technology platforms and services.
