How important is this “chain” to the Chinese economy?
In one month, the daily output of masks has increased by more than ten times, and the rapid operation of the supply chain is an important basis for winning the battle against epidemic prevention and control; offline influence, cloud compensation, hindered foreign trade, expansion of domestic sales, and flexible changes of enterprises Behind the “body” is the efficient coordination of the industrial chain.
The economic system is interlocking. In the face of risks, thousands of chains have supported each other, maintaining the stability of China’s economy; challenging the current situation, each link is upright and new is created, creating newness in China’s economy.
As the end of the year is approaching, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency will join you to see how China’s economy “will not drop the link” at critical moments this year.
Responding to challenges on the “chain”
In 7 days, I drove more than 1,000 kilometers from north to south, and I visited filter manufacturers one after another. Recalling the hardships at the beginning of the year, Cao Jun, chairman of the mask manufacturer Lanhe Medical, is still vividly remembered.
In early April, as a large number of enterprises changed production and expanded production, Lanhe raw materials were in an emergency. The gap of meltblown cloth reaches 2 tons per day. The urgency of orders is intertwined with the shortage of raw materials. At the most difficult time, Cao Jun drove across several provinces and went to buy.
With industry reputation, timely visits and expansion of meltblown cloth production capacity, Lanhe finally overcome the difficulties. “Since then, we have signed long-term agreements with many partners to diversify risks as much as possible.”
The difficulty lies in the supply chain, and the success lies in the supply chain.
In 2020, the three words supply chain will have a very different weight to China’s economy.
When the epidemic disrupts the rhythm of division of labor and production, when the international market is sluggish, and the global industrial chain fluctuates, there are more stories in dealing with challenges on the “chain”.
200,000 mainstream computer models, each motherboard requires thousands of components. When materials are in short supply, what kind of order matching will bring maximum benefit? To achieve Pareto Optimality, this proposition in economics, Lenovo is seeking answers in practice.
Guan Wei, senior vice president of Lenovo’s global supply chain, told reporters that beginning in the first half of the year, Lenovo has developed models based on multi-dimensional indicators such as efficiency, market, and scale, and achieved the most effective output with limited supply. Through smart upgrades, computer turnover can increase by 5% in a quarter.
The manufacturing platform uses more refined management to tap new growth points; foreign trade companies build their own overseas warehouses to strengthen risk management… “Do not drop the link at critical moments”, and the Chinese economy is actively responding.
“At the beginning of the year, I was pessimistic about the auto industry. At the worst, I even thought that production and sales would drop by 25%.” Ye Shengji, deputy secretary-general of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, said that the joint efforts of the state, various departments and enterprises have allowed the supply chain to recover quickly. The industry is picking up month by month, “the entire production and sales will be close to last year’s level.”
Challenges to accelerate the economic chain from complete to mature. In November, my country’s Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) was 52.1%, staying above the 50% threshold for nine consecutive months, and the momentum is steadily improving.
Grasp the opportunity in the “chain”
In the process of stabilizing the “chain”, fixing the “chain”, and expanding the “chain”, the process of coping with the challenges is full of vitality.
Joining the ranks of “Double 11″, Fang Hao, the manufacturer of sticky wool and the person in charge of Zhejiang Yiwu Zexi Daily Necessities Co., Ltd., “returned the game.” He was the main exporter and lost 10 million yuan in orders due to the epidemic at the beginning of the year. Through the flexible supply chain, it was transferred to domestic sales. In the first wave of “Double 11″ sales, all the 1 million pieces of goods prepared were sold out.
Based on the domestic market, many companies have respite under pressure; building an ecosystem on the cloud also brings opportunities for industrial upgrading.
One-key unlocking, the electric vehicle will come intelligently; parking sensor, after use, the vehicle will automatically drive to the return point… Based on the complete ecological chain of data, sensing, etc., No. 9 Company has launched a new intelligent electric vehicle and short-term transportation plan to achieve the right Full-cycle deployment management of vehicles.
“In the era of intelligence, products have many networked attributes. Sharing mutual empowerment is an indispensable ability for enterprises.” According to Gao Lufeng, CEO of No.9, owning and joining a complete ecological chain is becoming an innovative enterprise competition Direction.
Focusing on personalized consumption trends, the online shopping platform Dewu builds an “Tao” ecology integrating social networking, e-commerce, identification, and branding, and has become a popular gathering place for young consumers; through big data to achieve precise analysis, the State Grid Ningbo Power Supply Company built The “Smart Telecom” integrated energy management platform helps companies to “chain” and reduce costs; together with industry associations to explore specialty stores, Meituan and various parties established the “Store Guardian Alliance”… Taking the “chain” as a breakthrough, a new vision Was opened.
According to data from the professional version of Tianyancha, my country added more than 1.33 million e-commerce-related companies in the first October of this year, and the number of new live-streaming-related companies this year is 5 times the increase in the entire year of 2019.
“In the future, the competition of enterprises will evolve into the collaborative competition of the industrial ecology in which they are located.” said Liu Duo, president of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.
Consolidate the foundation under the “chain”
The more you face uncertainty, the more you must practice your skills. Weaving dense supply chain networks, China’s economy is in action.
“The foundation of the industry chain must be consolidated.” Liu Yunsheng, chairman of the Beijing Branch of China Construction Third Engineering Group Co., Ltd., has a deep understanding. The company administers more than one hundred projects and has more than one hundred suppliers of various types. At the beginning of the year, we faced greater difficulties. It was a series of “chain stabilization” measures that enabled the smooth resumption of projects such as the Dongfang Factory resettlement housing. “In the next step, the cloud procurement model will be adopted to connect the various links intelligently, so that the supply chain can be quickly transformed.”
Some leading companies are also playing a good “first move” in the new development pattern.
“We hope to empower the domestic digital supply platform to Lenovo’s overseas manufacturing base.” Guan Wei believes that allowing overseas factories to realize flexible production and gradually transform into a shared manufacturing platform while accepting their own orders is for Lenovo to make good use of the two markets and the two. The foundation of this kind of resource.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology comprehensively sorted out the list of leading enterprises and core supporting enterprises in key areas; eight departments launched pilot projects for innovative applications of supply chains…accelerating the transformation of supply chains to supply networks, and a series of measures were launched accordingly.
Strengthen the innovation of basic technology, key materials, and core technologies, accelerate the promotion of new infrastructure, accelerate the integration of 5G and the industrial Internet…consolidate the industrial and digital foundation, and even more.
“We will introduce more specific measures to strengthen the industrial foundation and upgrade the modernization level of the industrial chain, to promote the accumulation of more innovative elements, and to serve high-quality development.” said Huang Libin, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
