The Flat Glass Industry Supply Chain Management Research

With the development of the intensifying market competition and the internal construction problems of our country flat glass industrial it is suffering the fourth industrial crisis, the most of flat glass enterprises are in great trouble, the flat glass industrial is occurred general deficit. This paper discussed and analyzed the current situation of the industrial as well as the cause of the trouble from the viewpoint of theory of supply chain. Then point out the inevitability of the industrial integrity and re-construction, put forward managing supply chain is the only way of the flat glass industrial. Based on theory of supply chain the paper studied the solution of the combination and integration of the industrial enterprises, put forward the method of integrating the industrial supply chain: flat glass manufacturer of the upstream to integrate the prime flat glass transformer (flat glass coater line), then take the coater line as core to combine glass transformation resource of the supply chain downstream. After that, the paper studied the structure and the operation of the integrated supply chain, cleared the position and responsibility of the enterprises in the integrated flat glass supply chain. On the basis of analyzing of the operation, the mode of inventory and the channel of the integrated supply chain, put forward the combination of Efficient Supply Chain and Responsive Supply chain: Through the technique of postponement this mode of integrated supply chain realize the mass customization (MC), The integrated supply chain also make it possible to carry out vendor manage inventory (VMI), The disappear of distribution of sales after integration make the channel more flat and efficient. Finally, through the analysis of the case of Sain-Gobain Glass Group how to get out the current trouble situation of industrial point out the prospect of actualize the integration of the industrial through the implement of managing supply chain. Through the study the paper is expected to present one thought of how to make our flat glass industrial more competitive and stronger.
