The Role of Supply Chain Management
A business process of an enterprise is mainly to place an order, produce, deliver, and settle. In the ERP system, the order is first entered in the ordering module, and then the production plan and material requirement plan are generated in the production module, and then transferred to the purchasing module. In the procurement module, a procurement plan is generated according to the inventory situation and demand plan, and then the purchase order will be received from the supplier and delivered in time.
Jinan LIJIANG Glass has reached cooperation agreements with world-renowned brands of insulating glass processing equipment accessories manufacturers such as German Siemens PLC control system, German Schneider electronic system, Japanese Yaskawa servo motor, British Trio system and Taiwan Hiwin slider guide screw, and other world-renowned brands. Could already achieve the zero cost of Jinan LIJIANG Glass production scheduling and stocking plan.
In this process, since the ERP system can quickly transfer information between the supplier and the production workshop, Jinan LIJIANG Glass, as a manufacturer, does not need to prepare a large amount of inventory to ensure production, which greatly reduces the cost of inventory, reducing production costs. Effective supply chain management and ERP systems optimize all aspects of the process. Except for inventory, because suppliers and manufacturers have established strategic partnerships, the procedures for signing supply contracts are greatly simplified, and transaction costs are greatly reduced.
2. Quickly respond to customer needs and shorten the time of the whole process.
The establishment of the supply chain and the application of the ERP system in the enterprise make the information transfer faster and more accurate. When the seller obtains the customer's demand information, it can pass the information to the workshop for assembly and production through the ERP system and other software.
It will not cause product backlog or lose market opportunities due to information asymmetry and can meet customer needs promptly, increase profits and reduce losses. The ERP system also makes the formalities between enterprises in the supply chain simple and easy, greatly reducing the time of the whole process. For example, in the process of purchasing, due to the transparency and timeliness of information, the synchronization operation efficiency of enterprises in the supply chain is improved.
3. Reduce risk.
The rapid transmission of information and the transparency of information enables enterprises to make corresponding decisions and plans as soon as possible in the face of opportunities and problems, effectively control the business process and prevent problems from production scheduling to equipment delivery. , reducing the risk of Jinan LIJIANG Glass business operations.
4. Improve the core competitiveness of enterprises
In the entire supply chain, each enterprise only does the part that it is best at, that is, its core part, and the part that it is not good at is done by the partners in the supply chain so that the limited resources of the enterprise can be used in a centralized manner. The core part of the enterprise makes Jinan LIJIANG Glass more competitive.

For example, set up a regular meeting mechanism between planners, sales managers, and account managers, and notify procurement and suppliers of changes in demand as early as possible. In addition, companies need to establish good business relationships with supply chain partners to enhance the on-time delivery rate and quality of supplier supplies. On the one hand, there should be willingness to share information between various functions within the company and suppliers, and on t
3 Steps of Cost Reduction in Supply Chain Management
- Cost reduction potential: 10% - negotiation
Of course, in addition to economies of scale, negotiation also has some basis for cost reduction, such as the trend of increasing production efficiency year by year, the existence of a learning curve, the purchaser helping suppliers to continuously improve, and paying due returns, and the pressure of end customers to reduce prices. Jinan LIJIANG Glass aims at the multi-level and multi-faceted automated processing needs of glass deep processing practitioners, reduces the complexity of the supply side, increases the scale benefit of the supply side, and improves the production efficiency of equipment assembly.
- Cost reduction potential: 20% - process improvement
In the production process, modularization, standardization, lean production (referring to a standardized production management specification with zero waste and "zero" inventory), six sigma, and other methods can be used to optimize; the transaction process needs to rely on advanced information e-commerce systems And artificially optimized stable business relationship to improve (short-term relationship instability, high risk, and other factors will lead to increased costs). Jinan LIJIANG Glass adopts a team-based production management system. Responsibilities and production tasks are assigned by the team leader-squad leader-assembler layer by layer and adopt an advanced ERP production management system to digitize production costs and visualize production processes.
- Cost reduction potential: 70% - design optimization
Suppliers are required to intervene and collaborate in the early stages of the design phase, to integrate supplier capabilities (such as process awareness advantages in material selection, technical specifications, and tolerance levels) to make up for the deficiencies in the designer's production process, from product design optimization, resulting in cost reduction.
Of course, to achieve the above goals, on the one hand, it is necessary to have certain technical and management capabilities in procurement, and to be able to link R&D personnel and suppliers; Jinan LIJIANG Glass is willing to work with agents and distributors in various regions of the world to assist you in optimizing your inquiry and bidding operations for users of glass deep processing equipment and deepen the cooperative relationship.
