Practice And Research Of Material Management In Gas Corporation

Material Management has played a very important role for cost, quality and progress of project in Gas Corporation. Material Management is scattered, disorderly and unprofessional in Gas Corporation before innovation. Gas Corporation not only lost batch profit, got raised procurement cost and could not guarantee product quality but also was difficult in getting a competitive bid procurement and procuring high quality and low price materiel for scattered procurement. Additionally, it's easy in corruption because of dark action.By studying good experience in government procurement of Shenzhen municipality, Gas Corporation has decided to take concentrated procurement and bid procurement as main procurement ways and taken different procurement ways for various kinds of materials. Gas Corporation has gained striking economic and social profit after material management innovation.By the theory of Third-party Logistics (3PL), we can construct a new kind of cooperation relationship between supply and procurement to make full use of regular supply and gain dual profits. Although there are some contradictions of price, quality, service, stocks and payment between supply and procurement for their own profits, there are much more teamwork demand of them. They will join hands with each other to build the dual profit cooperation partnership by taking advantage of their strength and harmonizing their contradiction.Stock plan management is one of the most important parts of logistics management. Because we cannot know the value of customer service level (CSL), stock management plan has some defect and the CSL of group cannot come up to our request. Raising CSL is in contradiction with letting down stocks. But ascertaining the request of CSL, we can make scientific stock management plan according to the model of stock that we have constructed in order to getting the most reasonable quantity of procurement and safety quantity of stock.We can adopt a new kind of cooperation and competition relationship in order to reform procurement way and apply new concept management theory of supplier relationship by which we will let multi-supplier cooperate, compete and offer supplying service to corporation together. At the same time we also expand the distribution scope of supplier. Thus we will shorten the preparation period of procurement much whilekeeping the low procurement price and elevate CSL.It is the important sign of achieving modern logistics management that establishing center of distribution, applying sum distribution and setting up idea electronic logistics information system including electronic commerce net. It is also the goal of the task of logistics management of Gas Corporation in the future. Meanwhile we should actively research the feasibility and method by which we can put ERP (Enterprise Resources Plan) and SCM (Supply Chain Management) into practice.
