Constructing the elastic mechanism of supply chain in auto p

Under the current background of globalization, the automobile industry, as one of the important pillars of the national economy, is not only affected by the domestic and international market environment, but also faced with multiple uncertain factors such as fluctuations in raw material prices and changes in the international situation. Especially in the case of frequent epidemics and geopolitical conflicts in COVID-19, how to improve the safety and stability of the supply chain of auto parts industry chain has become a key issue of concern both inside and outside the industry. Therefore, it is particularly important to build an elastic supply chain of auto parts industry.

First, strengthen the independent research and development capabilities of core technologies and key materials

Core technology and key materials are the basis to ensure the safety and stability of supply chain. Enterprises should increase investment in research and development, break through the bottleneck of key technologies, and reduce dependence on foreign technologies; At the same time, actively develop new environmental protection materials, reduce production costs and improve product competitiveness. In addition, the government should also give policy support to encourage Industry-University-Research to form a good innovation ecosystem through deep integration.

Second, optimize the layout and realize diversified procurement strategies

Facing the complex external environment, auto parts enterprises need to adopt more flexible and diverse procurement methods to avoid single-source risks. On the one hand, we can consider establishing production bases or cooperative partnerships in different regions of China; on the other hand, we should expand the network of overseas suppliers and disperse regional risks. By implementing the globalization strategy, we can not only ensure the sufficient and timely supply of raw materials, but also better cope with the impact of exchange rate changes.

Third, improve the level of information management and enhance the response speed.

With the development of information technology, it has become a trend to use modern means such as big data and cloud computing to manage supply chain. By building an intelligent platform, enterprises can monitor the inventory situation, logistics dynamics and market demand changes in real time, quickly adjust production and sales plans, and ensure the efficient operation of the whole chain. At the same time, strengthen information sharing and cooperation with upstream and downstream enterprises to jointly resist the impact of emergencies.

Four, establish and improve the emergency plan system

In order to effectively prevent and reduce the damage caused by potential crisis to enterprises, it is necessary to formulate detailed and feasible emergency plans in advance and organize regular drills to test the effect. In case of force majeure, the standby production line can be quickly started or substitutes can be found to shorten the recovery period to the maximum extent and restore normal operation order.

In a word, building a flexible supply chain of auto parts industry is a systematic project, involving technological innovation, resource allocation, risk management and many other aspects. Only by constantly strengthening our own strength and perfecting relevant institutional arrangements can we be invincible in the global competition.
