How to optimize the supply chain management of new energy cable manufacturers

Optimize procurement strategy ： New energy cable The price of the main raw materials such as copper and aluminum fluctuates greatly. The manufacturers can rely on the platform resources or cooperate with other enterprises to sign long-term strategic agreements with the raw material manufacturers to reduce procurement costs by "exchanging quantity for price". At the same time, the "floating pricing" mechanism is adopted to dynamically match the lowest procurement window according to the fluctuation of international futures prices to avoid the risk of high price hoarding. We can also launch the service of "purchasing raw materials on behalf of others" to alleviate the pressure of cash flow in the light of the shortage of funds.

Improve production efficiency : Deploy intelligent monitoring equipment and AI quality inspection system for key production links such as extrusion molding and stranded wire to reduce the rate of defective products and improve product quality. At the same time, access to the industrial Internet platform, obtain real-time production data optimization suggestions, realize "digital lean production", improve per capita capacity, and shorten delivery cycle.

Strengthen inventory management : The advanced inventory management system is introduced to monitor the inventory level in real time, set reasonable safety stock and replenishment points, and realize the refined control of inventory. Forecast market demand through big data analysis, timely adjust inventory strategies according to demand changes, reduce inventory backlog or shortage, and improve inventory turnover.

Improve logistics distribution : Establish long-term cooperative relationship with logistics companies to ensure the stability and reliability of logistics. Adopt advanced logistics technologies, such as Internet of Things technology, big data analysis technology, etc., to improve the intelligent level of logistics. Optimize distribution routes and methods, reasonably plan distribution plans according to customer distribution and order quantity, reduce logistics costs, improve distribution efficiency, and shorten delivery cycle.

Promote information sharing : Introduce advanced supply chain management systems, such as ERP system, SCM system, etc., to realize the informatization and digital management of the supply chain. Through real-time monitoring of all links of the supply chain, the system enables the procurement, production, warehousing, logistics and other departments to share information in a timely manner, improve the transparency and traceability of the supply chain, so as to make better decisions and respond to market changes.

Strengthen supplier management : Establish close cooperation relationship with suppliers and jointly formulate supply chain plans and objectives. Conduct regular evaluation and management of suppliers, establish a sound supplier assessment system, and ensure that suppliers can stably provide high-quality raw materials. Through information sharing and collaborative work, we can jointly solve the problems in the production process, improve the collaboration efficiency of the supply chain, and reduce the supply chain risk.

Optimize product design and R&D : Increase investment in research and development of new materials, develop high-performance materials to replace traditional raw materials, such as aluminum alloy cables, composite cables, etc., reduce dependence on raw materials with large price fluctuations, and meet the market demand for high-performance and lightweight cables. In the process of new product research and development, the manufacturability and purchasability of the supply chain shall be fully considered to ensure the smooth introduction of new products into production and avoid the disconnection of the supply chain.
