Intelligent logistics era is changing the entire logistics industry

Today, China's economy is still in a precarious recovery period, from the price of commodities and the global economic situation, China's economic growth is not optimistic about the growth rate. According to the International Monetary Fund's forecast, the global economic growth in 2017 is only about 3.5%, the Academy of Social Sciences predicted that China's economic GDP is only about 6.6%, and in fact China's economy is still in the medium-speed growth.

Intelligent logistics era is changing the entire logistics industry

New economic growth model appeared

China's economic development momentum is being transformed, the traditional trade, investment, resources, savings and dividends and other development models are disappearing. Now we have ushered in a new stage of economic growth and development model, such as the digital economy, sharing the economy, the platform economy.

Digital economy: In recent years, China's rapid development of digital economy, especially in electricity as the representative of the rapid growth of the digital economy, China's digital economy accounted for the proportion of GDP has exceeded the United States, France and Germany, the world's leading level. According to statistics, in 2016, the proportion of China's digital economy is about 6.9%, while the United States is 4%.

Sharing the economy: At present, the share of the economy in the world has entered the golden period of development. In China, almost all industries have to share the new model of economic development, such as travel, space, finance, second-hand transactions, crowdsourcing logistics, medical and other aspects of this new format.

Platform economy: in the logistics industry, the platform to become a new species, but also to build a new industrial division of labor system, Alibaba's retail platform is a typical case.

Credit economy: According to the relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, "thirteen" during the Shanghai to develop credit economy. In fact, this economic model has been the case, such as sharing bicycles OFO, many students, teachers do not need any deposit can ride, which is entirely based on credit. So, the credit economy is becoming a new economic growth point.

From the first industrial revolution to the second industrial revolution, to the third industrial revolution, that is, IT technology, and finally to the fourth industrial revolution, that is, DT technology. We will find that this technology is changing the cycle is shorter and shorter, especially digital resources are becoming the basis for future technological development.

It is worth mentioning that the logistics industry ushered in the wisdom of the logistics era, the arrival of this era is also changing the entire logistics industry. Alibaba to study the small G robot, for example, the future, such a robot may replace the courier.

From the perspective of the competitive situation, in the global context, the entire manufacturing industry is facing fierce competition, the United States as a typical representative of the developed countries have to implement the re-return strategy of manufacturing. Developing countries are also accelerating the planning of the layout, India and other emerging BRIC countries are also actively involved in the global industrial division of labor.

Manufacturing supply chain change

Customer demand tends to be personalized: customer needs tend to be personalized, not just customization. Therefore, the logistics development model requires rapid innovation, such as Haier launched a manufacturing order, before the manufacturing orders need to be divided into multiple links, but now the manufacturing order is the logistics order, remove many intermediate links. This poses a higher demand for the response to the entire supply chain.

The pattern of supply changes: the development model of the new platform economy is becoming a new source of supply for manufacturing enterprises. For example, Haier's car small gathering of the middle and lower reaches of the logistics enterprises to provide services, so the platform economy is becoming a new supply model, but also affect the manufacturing supply chain pattern changes.

Supply chain development trend

From "3A" to "3V": "3A supply chain" emphasizes agility, collaboration and adaptation, however, the future supply chain will go in the "3V" direction, that is transparent, visible, flexible and responsive. Huawei has said that the hope that through the transparent supply chain management to achieve global visualization services.

Based on the supply chain all-round buyers: Today, the supply chain emphasizes the value chain, which means that the supply chain is not just a simple supply function, but the development of the value of the function. Haier has proposed that the future, I am not just the manufacturer of the refrigerator, and to become the refrigerator the whole scene of the service provider, that is, Haier do not sell refrigerators, or even free to the refrigerator, but to the customer to send the refrigerator at the same time, but also To provide customers with a full range of services.

Haier can help customers to buy, you can provide intelligent recipes, and even can provide the appropriate ingredients management, and even provide a full range of audio entertainment services. Haier use its Internet and other platforms to meet the needs of customers in the diet and entertainment.

Coordination and coordination: the future of the supply chain is not only in coordination, more is the external collaboration and value creation, that is, customer service, if the customer is not satisfied, that the entire supply chain is a failure, so for the customer to create value is the supply Chain of the first mission.

Eco-circle model: all the supply chain to become a stable chain, and the most important prerequisite for stability is the upstream and downstream have income, the formation of a sustainable ecological structure. Therefore, the eco-circle model is becoming a new trend.

The most fit of the development strategy

First, always fast customer step

Many well-known companies, such as Motorola, Kodak did not keep up with changes in customer demand, which led to it will be eliminated by the whole era. So, be sure to fast customer step, to think about why customers do not find us, where our customers where the problem. Only consider the customer level problem, is the existence of the first meaning of the supply chain.

Second, to seize the opportunity

Internet era, enterprises in the development process not only to invest in assets, but also into the system, data and traffic and technology, Internet thinking, the core is to achieve value creation.

Third, the supply chain coordination

Before the enterprise in the process of development mainly in the cost of the center, after the future will have to value as the center. With this value as the center, the supply chain will be some new changes, the traditional development model will become a new intelligent supply chain model, this model more emphasis on interaction with consumers, through advertising channels to influence customers.

Fourth, the establishment of long-term development strategy

There is no successful business, only the era of business. An enterprise is able to achieve sustainable development because it continues to respond to changes in the times, so companies need to change the requirements of the times to change the long-term operating structure.

Fifth, to promote the depth of integration of manufacturing and logistics industry

We need to change the original logistics network into a network of things, but also to promote the Internet of Things. In this way, the enterprise's living space will be greatly expanded.

Six, do the content of the platform

Logistics business platform there is no substantive content, which is the core of the enterprise. Can provide customers with the actual service, which is the core of the enterprise. The future platform must be a world-class logistics platform, then the content will become very important.

Seven, to strengthen the exploration of wisdom

Because the supply chain is the upstream and downstream structure, any one of the changes will affect the overall changes, so enterprises in the development process need to strengthen the wisdom of exploration. Especially in the logistics sector, logistics enterprises need to achieve the wisdom of logistics supply chain changes.
