Study On The Optimization Of Supplier Management In FAW-VW

In recent years,the auto market has become increasingly competitive.The next few years will be the years of rapid development of the Chinese auto industry.The auto market is facing a transition from traditional fuel-powered vehicles to electric vehicles,autonomous driving and other vehicles with new energy and technology.FAW-Volkswagen,as the head company of China’s automobile production,currently has more than 700 production material parts suppliers and more than 2,000 service system suppliers.Therefore,it is particularly important to achieve rapid response to market changes and continuous cost reduction in order to form a sustainable competitive advantage and promote more complete supplier management methods.This article uses theoretical research and case studies to sort out the current FAW-Volkswagen’s supplier management process,analyzes the problems in each link,and proposes optimization solutions for FAW-Volkswagen’s supplier management based on the research results.FAW-Volkswagen supplier management optimization is based on a combination of theory and case studies.First,it analyzes and compares the procurement models of Japanese Toyota,American General Motors and German Volkswagen,which leads to the problems of FAW-Volkswagen in supplier management,and analyzes and discusses the reasons.Secondly,when using strategic management theory and extensive management practice cases to study supplier management,the following optimization plans are compared: 1.Optimization of existing organizational structure and optimization of functions of various departments.2.Build a system management platform that matches business needs.3.Implement comprehensive supplier lifecycle management in the procurement of parts and basic materials.4.Is to improve the assessment of supplier delivery risk.Finally,in order to determine the implementation of the optimization plan,it is necessary to enhance staffing and incentives,supplier incentives and support for information system resources.The whole article discusses the management problems and solutions of FAW-Volkswagen’s production material parts suppliers and general material suppliers.For FAW-Volkswagen,the scope of supplier management is very wide,and the previous simple model is no longer suitable for the current development and changes.Regardless of the procurement of production materials and parts or the procurement of services for general materials,a management mechanism should be established for the full life cycle development of the supplier,that is,the management of the supplier cannot be simply evaluated and evaluated,but the supplier should be fully evaluated,including Management and tracking of supplier introduction,supplier selection,batch supply and subsequent supplier elimination to improve the effectiveness and scientificity of supplier management.The research also clearly shows that implementing a procurement strategy requires a solid organizational structure and employee support,and a reliable information system for analyzing and aggregating data is indispensable.At the same time,in view of the increasingly complex market environment,it is necessary to build a reasonable risk assessment mechanism for suppliers to avoid supply risks and supply chain development turbulence.Supplier’s full life cycle management emphasized in this article is a new trend of supplier management in the future,because the scope of management not only involves parts suppliers,but also considers upstream raw material suppliers and downstream mold suppliers,which not only manages scientifically Suppliers,but also to achieve short-term and long-term procurement goals.This management method is not only of far-reaching significance to FAW-Volkswagen’s internal management,but also has certain reference significance to the same industry.
