8) Procurement, production and sales logistics are not unified, and the proportion of logistics cost to sales cost is really uncertain.

10) The biggest headache is that after the emergency purchase, it is suddenly found that there are still a large number of such items in the warehouses in other parts of the group.

Part I, Section 5: Introduction

= = Introduction

You can't sell even the best quality products unless you provide the products that consumers need when they need them. To achieve this, it is necessary to integrate and re-engineer the key business processes from the end users to the original suppliers, so as to continuously provide customers with value-added products, services and information. This is the supply chain management of grafting demand and supply.

-Dr. Hu Song commented.

In the first half of 2002, in order to recover the long-term arrears of payment, nearly 500 suppliers jointly cut off the supply of Fuzhou Huarong Supermarket Group, which led to its sudden bankruptcy. This group was once the largest chain commercial enterprise in Fujian Province, and was twice shortlisted as one of the "Top 100 Chain Commercial Enterprises in China". Since 1999, it has been expanding rapidly and crazily. The main source of funds is the long-term occupation of suppliers' payment.

Thousands of years of business history has repeatedly proved that all business activities are inseparable from the support of suppliers. Suppliers constitute the supply chain. Only by consolidating the cornerstone of supplier relationship can high-rise buildings be built in the supply chain.

Many supermarkets warn customers not to push their children with shopping trolleys, and the trolleys in Wal-Mart stores are specially designed for children. Many supermarkets are just places to buy things. Wal-Mart is the living base of consumers, and customers can get all kinds of convenient services here.

Since 1982, management consultant Keith? Oliver (r? Since KeithOliver put forward the term "supply chain management" (SCM), after more than 20 years of investigation and research in academic circles, people have generally recognized this point.
