Supply chain management and utilization of the development of the logistics industry has brought a new vitality, and military logistics community an integral part of the largest logistics, in order to further reduce costs and improve quality of distribution, will introduce the United States Institute for Supply Management. Procurement of military goods and materials sector as the military procurement supply chain of goods is an important component of the model should give full play to the Institute for Supply Management's effectiveness, it is necessary to make the chain has become the core of the department. However, how to set up supply chain management environment has become the core of a serious problem, I combine the characteristics of force, as well as local and foreign armed forces in the success of the experience, from the change in thinking and information technology, as well as dealing with suppliers, customers The relationship between the strength to make some concrete solutions.
1, adopt new ideas, change the functions of
Procurement of military supplies in the entire chain in order to achieve the status of the core of the concept of change is the premise of shift function is to ensure that. The specific circumstances are as follows: First, the concept of management in order to achieve the main function is to manage the functions of management and process management of integrated management. In the past, management, procurement of military supplies and only focus on the exercise of the functions and the final result of the acquisition. However, supply chain management, material procurement departments, the military functions of the integrated management and process management, integration of the impact of integration; the only way to fundamentally meet the new management model. Second, management, transaction management from the nature of the transaction the relationship between the administration and management of integrated management. Under normal circumstances, the military and procurement of materials suppliers and customers among the troops is just a simple transaction of sex, which will be the end of the transaction, during the freeze. However, supply chain management requirements of the chain's business strategy from an analysis of the benefits, in other words, the chain between the importance of maintaining contacts, exchange of information in order to ensure the smooth flow of information throughout the chain, which needed military supplies procurement department To deal with the relationship between the administration and management, procurement of materials as a whole, the realization of sustained, uninterrupted benefits. Third, the idea of service, it is necessary to establish a "user-centric force," the idea. Supply Chain Management starting point for consumers, without prejudice to the pursuit of self-interest to consumers at the lowest cost to obtain the best service. The army is how to use the limited funds for the troops to provide better products and services, how to react as fast as possible, the most efficient security to meet the needs of users. In this way, military material procurement departments to set up "in order to force the user-centric" concept, usually associated with the user's strength, to keep up with demand for information, analysis of the potential demand in the shortest possible time will be the best products and services provided to troops Users.
2, to regulate and promote military cooperation
The establishment of standardized procedures and information management for military goods and materials supply chain management model the only way to the building, but also the establishment of military material procurement departments of the central position of the important factors.
2.1 infrastructure standardization. This is mainly a military airport, military port, military service, military supplies warehouses and other infrastructure standardization of the construction, procurement business processes so that the compatibility of facilities, as well as warehousing, distribution, and other documents, supply chain logistics in the army's rapid , Smooth; where possible, but also conducive to more civilian facilities, the use of resources. Therefore, in order to shorten the cycle time and improve overall economic efficiency of the military in order to further reduce costs.
2.2 standardized operating procedures. Civilian police unit to deal with the material, transportation, storage and transport links have already introduced a number of advanced production equipment, automation, intelligent have reached a higher level, various links and better coordination. On the other hand, most of the memory cell, material and social security departments of automation, information is still relatively low, material handling, transportation, storage, logistics and transport links in the civilian units, to achieve coordination, procurement of military materials in accordance with the needs of Based on the operating procedures in order to strengthen the standardization of construction, the introduction of advanced equipment to improve its automation, intelligent level, in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of material support in order to achieve value-added logistics process.
2.3 Information Technology Standardization. Supply chain management is based on the rapid exchange of information, materials procurement and military sectors as a centralized information and differences in order to become the core of the chain as a whole, it is necessary to improve its information management system to achieve a variety of digital information and a Standard interface; improve the self-construction, but also to help guide troops and the corresponding user facilities, the armed forces to achieve rapid exchange of information, as well as material procurement departments and the armed forces of the flow of information between users. However, the rapid exchange of information can be exchanged does not mean that all of the information technology, a dual system, the national security of confidential information, restrictions apply only to its internal forces and special forces, as well as the flow of inter-service providers that do not involve State secrets, national security information can be easily armed forces. Between the two systems to achieve physical isolation to ensure safety.
3, implementation of the outsourcing business, to highlight its advantages
Procurement of military goods and materials sector as a whole has become the core of the chain, which means that the entire supply chain process control, monitoring and optimization of business processes to achieve standardized and orderly operation of the business and operations to maximize efficiency. This is a complicated systematic project requires a large amount of human, material and financial resources relative lack of available resources, the development of imperfect decisions, we can not make a "major" development path, but should focus on "small and fine "Building this will be as important as the outsourcing business, in order to focus on developing its core competitiveness. Outsourcing can make up for the implementation of the military procurement departments lack the resources to further tap the resources available to reduce short-term costs and improve quality of products and services, military procurement departments to reduce market risk.
3.1 implementation of the outsourcing business in order to ensure that the core of their own
In order to ensure that its central location, it is necessary to strengthen the focus on the following areas:
(1) Information collection and processing power. In other words, to strengthen the entire supply chain of suppliers, forcing users to the flow of information collection, analysis and further guidance. In order to ensure the smooth flow of information under the premise of the supply chain brought about by promoting and facilitating the substantive.
(2) management capabilities. The first is to strengthen the management of personnel, to ensure that "winning wars and eradicating corruption" in order to quality, time and on-demand to higher authorities to complete all the tasks; The second is to strengthen the management of suppliers to ensure that the necessary number of supply and improve the accuracy of the And timeliness.
(3) To strengthen the construction of the distribution of power. On the current situation in our country, because of legal and regulatory system is not perfect, but it can not bound by the service providers to better manage this period are reflected in the war in particular, we can not put the armed forces of the United States "service contractors battlefields" On the road; of the armed forces of other specific circumstances, with the deepening of reform of joint logistics, the sector has improved the function of a set of building our military needs for its own distribution system to provide good conditions. Only the establishment of a sound distribution system, we can in terms of time, forcing the user to provide goods and services, to win their trust so that it would be willing to own feedback in a timely manner the needs of the military procurement department, in order to further consolidate the material procurement departments in the military The core of the chain of command.
3.2 to strengthen the building of their own advantages at the same time, outsourcing some of the projects or business:
(1) infrastructure. This means that in the military chain of relevant infrastructure, such as handling a variety of loading and unloading facilities, storage facilities, transport routes, such as building out to some of the professional unit. On the one hand, enhance the professionalism and quality of construction On the other hand, but also conducive to labor-saving, so that the chain's staff in the heart and soul into the enterprise in real terms.
(2) Information System. Information systems require a large amount of high-tech knowledge, talented people to establish their own separate unit of power, will inevitably lead to a low level of information technology. If the introduction of qualified personnel and personnel training, the results in the short term will not be too ideal: First, never be able to meet the aspirations; in the second, after the completion of the information system on the basis of demand management is limited, will lead to a waste of human resources. As a result, information system, the best way is to "semi-out", combined with the building of the armed forces of the military characteristics of supply chain management information systems. If possible, can take "all" approach in the use of "supply chain management platform," that is, military material procurement departments of the major concerns of its own business development, which is not good at the IT technology, management software, servers, network maintenance upgrades , And other professional work of the "platform" for service providers.
4, strengthening supplier management, the establishment of a stable relationship
Military material procurement departments of the cause of the functions of the standing army institutions, with strong regional characteristics, which in a region can only be a military procurement supply chain of goods relatively stable relationship between the user and the scope of jurisdiction. However, it has a provider uncertainties, the integration is not high, which will bring stability to the poor supply chain, operational inefficiency of the defect. In response to this problem, it is necessary to strengthen the management of suppliers.
4.1 in determining the supplier before, it is necessary to carry out assessment and identification.
The main business for the assessment of production capacity, the development potential of the ability to protect the reputation of the enterprise, and so on. As the supply chain to ensure the smooth and effective operation of the suppliers have been identified, under normal circumstances, very little will change, so we must be good at customs review.
4.2 pairs of systems suppliers, but also set a good alternative suppliers.
Supply chain management relations in a variety of relatively stable, it is easy to develop a supplier of ideas to further improve with the passage of time will be relatively low standards of service and does not seek technological progress, it will not be able to meet the increasing demand. Two-provider system to ensure stable supply, so that there is a supplier of invisible pressure, so that they feel that if your service, your technological progress to meet the troops at any time can be a commercial the other hand, you will lose qualified Suppliers, the suppliers, and consciously improve service quality, innovation and technology to do a good job.
4.3 in order to ensure the military does not reduce the cost-effective basis, so that is conducive to the supplier.
Supplies department to determine the specific functions of the military supply chain have different local enterprises in the supply chain's personality, that is to say, only when the full completion of the high-security on the basis of the mandate to discuss ways to reduce costs and improve economic efficiency The armed forces. As a result, procurement of military supplies in peacetime, wartime and under certain conditions in order to be successful and timely completion of tasks, the security services, is bound to need a reliable, long-term sources of supply, which require for their own interests at the same time supply Rangli Business in order to encourage them to participate in and take the initiative to supply chain management, so as to strive to improve the effectiveness of the entire value chain in order to achieve a win-win situation, or even victory.
4.4 auxiliary supplier development plan, assist in the development of technology suppliers. Supply chain management is an obvious advantage is that the chain "of each other's needs and complement each other" to resources and benefit-sharing. For the procurement of military materials supply chain, procurement of military goods and materials sector and become the core of the chain, it is necessary to take the lead in realizing the sharing of resources and their suppliers. Auxiliary suppliers, including: first, through the information network, forcing the user to the vendor feedback in a timely manner so that the suppliers of the product specification, quality, quantity, as well as after-sales service to better meet the needs of users; Second, military supplies Procurement departments in a timely manner can be sent to the provision of technical personnel, technical guidance, their products, quality control, and so on. Of course, suppliers, due to its ability to innovate and applications may be short-term capital or a shortage of qualified personnel. In view of this, who needs the military's technology development and application of military material procurement departments to the best of its ability to offer appropriate human, material and financial resources, as well as support for the establishment of military procurement supply chain sector in the status of the heart.
