Research On Agile Supply Chain For Small And Medium-sized Electromechanical Enterprises

The production characteristic of small and medium-sized electromechanical enter-prises(SME) is the short period of delivery. The accessories and raw materials are almost purchased in small amount or singleton, the variability of purchasing supply exits and the capital is limited. An agile supply chain can play an important role in the existence and expansion of the SME. It can provide the enterprises with prompt and efficient accessories and raw materials supply so as to reduce the storage and bring down the production cost hugely. Finally, the rate and quality of production can be promoted.The key factors to carrying out the agile supply chain are: to establish a fine cooperative relationship between the enterprises and the supplier, to establish a scientific, efficient and formal purchase procedures to provide accurate scientific basis for ensuring the purchasing quantity, to improve and regulate the management of the storage and analyze scientifically.The paper takes Tangshan HengLian Electromechanical Co.Ltd as research object. At the bases of careful and full surveys on the status and problems of enterprises, using management thoughts of the agile supply chain to regulate and improve the enterprises'management process and methods. Specific works include: with the support of the information system, in the process of order processing in the enterprise, using parallel and inheritance method in product configuration during the order processing for the enterprise with the support of the information system. Rebuilding the purchasing process and establishing the model of supplies'evaluation in order to response the customer need quickly. Regulate the management of the storage, build the model of comparable storage quantity and analyze the deposit storage quantity in order to control the storage strictly. Improving delivery management and after sale management and building clients'files as well as making the corporations investigate the materials and supplies through client's information and the product numbers, and finally improve the agility of delivery and after sale service. Through carrying out the management pattern of the agile supply chain in the corporation to improve the turnover speed of the middle and small electromechanical corporation's information and logistics and bring more benefits to the corporations.
