Study On Performance Measurement System And Coordinative Tactics Of Automobile Manufacturing Suppliers Based On Supply-Demand Network

As the national cornerstone industry, the level of the development of automobile industry has become a symbol of a country comprehensive national strength. Complicated products structure spur on forming a complete set on millions of automobile components and parts vendors and the relevant materials suppliers. Since procurement costs account for sixty to eighty percent of total automotive product cost, it always becomes the most concerned cost improving segment for assembly factories. Nevertheless, at present relations between suppliers and assembly factories are mostly in completely antagonistic situation in Chinese automobile industry, and most assembly factories do not have a scientific performance measurement system for evaluating and helping suppliers improve their comprehensive abilities. They always prefer to transmit the stresses of automotive products'cutting price to supplier directly rather than helping suppliers find ways to cut their costs by coordinated developing. It will lead to suppliers reducing the cost with sacrificing the product quality which will trigger ultimate product quality decline and credit crisis.This dissertation sets up a coordinated management model of the whole supply - demand network and studies on the coordinated relations each other among three organizations through-going automobile products total life-cycle, including core-business organizations, through-business organizations and supporting-business organizations, on the basis of investigating and surveying 10 automobile national enterprises with self-developed brand and joint ventures systematically and doing a great literature review on suppliers'selection and evaluation index systems and methods. The dissertation not only set up the selection and evaluation system of suppliers from self-ability and coordinated ability according to the category of research & development, procurement, manufacturing, sales & services, planning, quality, logistics, finance, comprehensive management, information and environment modules, but study on the coordinated tactics among the procurement department, other departments of assembly factory and suppliers which make a great active and directive function on promoting the coordinated effects between suppliers and assembly factories. At last the dissertation illustrates the whole above system with a sample of XL Company. Then it does the simulation research of 46 suppliers of standard components and parts and 166 suppliers of individual components and parts of XL Company to define the performance level of them by using the methods of regression analysis, cluster analysis and discrimination analysis to help the suppliers find their advantage and shortcoming and set developed orientation and target themselves.
