How to open up the blockage pain points of the Yangtze River Delta industrial chain? They find inspiration from vegetable group buying

At 2 p.m. on May 5, a large truck loaded with 6,000 pieces of auto parts such as the front wiper motor and the rear wiper blade drove into the Shanghai Jiading Anting Transit Station, and after completing the routine sanitize, the materials were carried to the sanitize area for full sanitize and standing. Jiading Anting Transit Station is one of the important material emergency supply transfer stations in the Yangtze River Delta, which is mainly supplied to Zhejiang, Jiangsu Province, to solve the problem of poor supply of auto parts logistics due to the epidemic situation.

On this day, the Anting Transfer Station completed a total of 3 such operations, that is, 3 cars of auto parts were integrated into the "main artery" of Yangtze River Delta Logistics through here. For the automotive industry chain with a large span and a wide range of aspects, logistics is the "bloodline", and only when this "bloodline" flows, enterprises can resume work smoothly and the entire industrial chain can operate efficiently.

The re-rotation of the automobile industry chain is a microcosm of the resumption of work and production in the Yangtze River Delta. Recently, "restart" has become the key word of enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta, and some urban work leading groups and work classes have focused on solving the difficulties, pain points and blockages of enterprises to resume production, while continuously strengthening the epidemic prevention safety and production safety inspection and supervision of enterprises, they are also coordinating to solve the guarantee of resource elements, smoothing the circulation of the industrial chain supply chain, and ensuring the safe and orderly resumption of work and production of key enterprises.

The latest statistics show that at present, the resumption of work and production of industrial enterprises in Shanghai is advancing in an orderly manner, and the resumption rate of more than 1,800 key enterprises in the city is more than 70%, of which the first batch of more than 660 key enterprises has a resumption rate of more than 90%. Key industrial chains such as automobiles, integrated circuits, and biomedicine continued to recover and increase production capacity, and leading enterprises continued to maintain stable production. This brings good news for the overall recovery of the industrial chain in the Yangtze River Delta.

Judging from the current epidemic prevention and control situation, the industry predicts that by mid-May, the logistics traffic situation will improve significantly. If realized, the large-scale resumption of work and production of enterprises related to various industrial chains in the Yangtze River Delta is imminent.

Enterprises have just needs, and the government builds a platform

In late April, Shen Jian, general manager of Suzhou-based Yangming Interconnection Intelligent System Co., Ltd., was a bit overwhelmed. The company's main products are automation equipment, the need for hundreds of parts, suppliers are distributed in the Yangtze River Delta and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, logistics blockage under the epidemic, Yangming company production of electronic components products for a while nowhere to purchase, facing the threat of production stoppage, and may even be fined for delayed delivery.

Coincidentally at this time, the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology announced that the "Su Chain Pass" platform was launched after testing, which was supported by Suzhou Telecom, which can quickly connect the most suitable local suppliers for enterprises, solve the problems of demand docking and supply of raw parts and auxiliary materials of manufacturing enterprises in the region, and reduce the impact of the epidemic on enterprises. Jiangsu Yangming Interconnection Intelligent System Co., Ltd., located in Suzhou, has completed the procurement of more than 2,000 urgently needed electronic components through "Su Chain Tong". "From the matching of information to the completion of the delivery, it is completed in two or three days, which is very efficient." Shen Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

The goods provided to Jiangsu Yangming are Suzhou local suppliers Gongpinxing (Suzhou) Digital Technology Co., Ltd., which can be seen from the background of Gongpinxing that since late April, Jiangsu Yangming has purchased many additional raw materials in Gongpinxing and become a stable buyer. Interestingly, before that, although the two companies were located in Suzhou, they did not have any business dealings with each other.

"We found that although the supply chain of many enterprises is stable, once the original procurement channels are blocked, the ability to develop new suppliers is not strong." Feng Zhichao, the relevant person in charge of the Industrial Andean Company, introduced that in the case of logistics obstruction, the enterprises that usually need to prepare goods for one month have to consider storing raw materials for 2-3 months, but this will obviously increase the pressure on the cash flow of enterprises, and the development of local suppliers has become something that many enterprises have to consider.

"The government should not only manage the enterprise, but more importantly, serve. Under the epidemic, enterprises have a large number of just needs, and the government has set up a service platform. Wang Xiaoliang, director of the Informatization Promotion Division of Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, said that under the epidemic, the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology has received many appeals from enterprises. For example, if the original supplier of the enterprise is in Kunshan, but after the silence of kunshan, the enterprise cannot get the goods, what to do? Can you find a matching business locally? Under the voice of enterprises, Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology contacted 5 industrial Internet platforms in Suzhou to bring together relevant supply and demand information into the development of the "Su Chain" platform, and enterprises in need can also publish supply or demand information on the platform, and the platform is responsible for reviewing supplier qualifications.

As of May 5, the platform has been visited more than 250,000 times, released more than 10,000 supply and demand information, accumulated more than 5,000 registered enterprises, and made more than 7,000 contact numbers through the platform. "At the beginning, the demand for logistics in enterprises was the strongest, and in the past few days, with the easing of the epidemic in Suzhou and the recovery of logistics, the demand for OEM and raw materials has obviously risen." Wang Xiaoliang said.

The reporter found that in addition to supply and demand information, "Su Chain" has also opened up a special industrial chain enterprise navigation section, which has now launched three industrial chains of integrated circuits, auto parts, and biomedicine, and related enterprises can be searched and contacted with one click in this section. "Mature one, go online." Wang Xiaoliang said that this sector is a newly developed project of "Suzhou Chain", which brings together the relevant enterprises in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain in Suzhou, which will help enterprises find partners faster.

According to the plan of Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, the "Su Chain Pass" born under the epidemic will be expected to operate for a long time. According to statistics, the current use of "Su Chain" is mainly small and medium-sized micro and medium-sized enterprises. "Helping these small and medium-sized enterprises to distribute nearby and reduce costs under the condition of quality control is something that can be done for a long time." Wang Xiaoliang explained.

Feng Zhichao saw that since the launch of "Su Chain Pass", relevant manufacturers in suzhou's surrounding cities such as Wuxi and Yancheng are also paying attention to the information released by the platform, and these companies are also facing the contradiction between supply and demand caused by logistics congestion, and they also hope to join this platform and find suitable partners. "If it can be made into a platform covering the Yangtze River Delta, it will be a very meaningful thing." Feng Zhichao put forward such a vision.

Find inspiration from community vegetable group buying

Feng Zhichao's idea of "Yangtze River Delta big platform" is only a vision at present. So far, "Su Chain" can only solve the supply and demand problems of enterprises in Suzhou, last Sunday, the service of "Su Chain" was just extended to Kunshan and Taicang. What should I do if there are more companies that need cross-regional logistics?

An auto parts company in Anting, Shanghai, found inspiration from the community's vegetable group buying.

In late April, a large truck was parked in a warehouse at the factory of Suzhou Xinghua Industrial Co., Ltd., located in Suzhou's Xiangcheng District, where workers were loading various goods. During this day, many minivans also drove into the factory, and the staff counted the goods on the trolleys and loaded them onto the large trucks. After all the loading was completed, the truck transported the goods to the logistics company for centralized sanitize at the transit station in the foreign city, and then immediately departed for Shanghai Sanli Huizhong Auto Parts Co., Ltd.

These minivans come from enterprises in various regions of Suzhou, among which Suzhou Shenjian Auto Parts Co., Ltd. has long supplied parts to Sanli Huizhong. During the epidemic period, although Sanlihuizhong was in closed production, there were still many orders, but the overall number dropped sharply, coupled with the strict epidemic prevention and control policy in Suzhou, resulting in an increase in logistics and transportation costs. If you want to directly supply enterprises, not only can you not make money, but even the cost must be lost. But there is no upstream parts supply, and Sanlihuizhong, who is responsible for assembly, cannot resume production even if it resumes work.

In order to solve the problem of upstream supply, the members of the purchasing department of Sanlihuizhong racked their brains, but there has been no result. At this time, Lai Yingbiao, the director of the procurement department, encountered another problem, and there were not enough vegetables at home. Therefore, he participated in the vegetable group purchase in the community, because the external transportation capacity is tight to buy vegetables alone for the merchants is more expensive, and the group purchase has set up a starting and delivery standard to share the transportation costs.

This successful group purchase made Lai Yingbiao have a flash of inspiration: "Since vegetables can be shared by group purchase, why can't parts be group purchased?" He immediately arranged for procurement personnel to dock with various enterprises, and he contacted Suzhou Xinghua Industrial Co., Ltd., which because of the large supply, so the transportation cost of 10,000 yuan per trip is still within the scope of the enterprise. Lai Yingbiao consulted with the enterprise, using their factory as a transfer point, arranged for the surrounding 5 enterprises to gather the goods and send them to Shanghai together. We have formulated a method of apportioning transportation costs: in principle, the supplier bears the freight according to the proportion of supply, and some enterprises with less supply can pay the freight free of charge, and Sanlihuizhong will give some subsidies. In this way, not only can small enterprises ship profitably, but large enterprises have also greatly reduced transportation costs, and Sanlihuizhong has also dredged the supply channels in Suzhou.

After that, the procurement team set up a new transshipment point in Lanchuang Plastic Co., Ltd. in Jiashan City, Zhejiang Province, to undertake goods from Ningbo, Yuyao and several enterprises as far as Wuhan. For these companies, the biggest benefit brought to them by the parts group purchase model is not the reduction of logistics costs, but the shortening of the delivery cycle. Such small improvements are essential for the smooth flow of the supply chain. Through group purchase, Sanlihuizhong has opened up about 40% of the supply channels, and can complete about half of the production capacity.

Under the move, the gears of the industrial chain are re-bite and rotate, but it will probably take a little time to recover as before.

Anting Town, Jiading District, operates 4 of SAIC Volkswagen's 9 vehicle plants nationwide, and undertakes 90% of SAIC Volkswagen's production capacity. In recent years, Weilai, Ideal Shanghai R&D Headquarters, baidu and Geely joint venture Setu Automobile have also settled here. On April 16, Shanghai announced the first batch of key enterprises to resume work and production "white list", SAIC Volkswagen and other enterprises have been impressively listed, since April 23, Anting Automobile Plant No. 3 and MEB Factory began to resume work, the first batch of vehicles after the resumption of work and production has been successfully rolled off the production line.

However, from the data of Anting transit station, the design throughput can meet the transit demand of 30 vehicles of more than 20 tons per day, and the current transit volume is an average of "two or three vehicles per day", which shows that the output of the enterprise is still in the early stage of recovery.

The normal operation of the industrial chain depends on the joint efforts of the interlocking upstream and downstream, and some "blocking points" need to continue to be opened. Liu Qiang, deputy general manager of Sanlihuizhong, said that the company will actively seek help from the government and downstream OEMs to solve the remaining supply problems.
