In recent years, the development of China's automobile manufacturing enterprises is facing enormous challenges. The profits of the automobile manufacturing industry have been pressed down and started to enter the era of meager profits. Most auto companies have turned their attention to the “third profit source†of logistics. It is required that the supply logistics of automobile manufacturers not only meet the production demand, but also adapt to changes with the lowest cost, the least consumption, and the quickest response. Parts supply is an important part of automobile supply logistics, and it is the most critical part of the well-regarded logistics system's healthy operation and continuous optimization. The supply logistics model of parts is a problem that automobile manufacturers need to focus on. Therefore, it is necessary to study the supply model of auto parts supply and realize timely production and lean production.

The start of China's auto industry was achieved through the national centralized investment and all-around technology introduction. After experiencing the growth stage from 1960 to 1980, China's auto industry has ushered in a period of rapid and comprehensive development. At present, there are more than 100 automobile manufacturers in China and three major three small automobile industry groups have been formed. They are FAW, SAIC, and Dongfeng. BAIC, GAC, and Chongqing Chang'an are three small companies. At the same time, there are also rising stars such as Chery, Geely, Hafei, Southeast, etc., which have led to a marked change in the pattern of China's auto industry.
In the past 10 years, the number of cars and demand in China have been increasing at a rate of more than 1006 annually, and the pace of development of the car market has been particularly alarming. According to the China Automobile Industry Association’s forecast for the 2009 automobile market, the total sales volume is about 10.2 million vehicles, which represents an increase of 8.7% over the previous year, including 7.45 million passenger vehicles, an increase of 10.2% over the same period of last year (sedans increased by 7.9%, and crossovers multiply Vehicle sales increased by 23%. Commercial vehicles sold 2.75 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 5%.
The prosperity of the auto industry has also stimulated the rapid development of the parts and components industry. The number of auto parts suppliers in China has reached more than 5,000. In 2003, the sales revenue of the auto parts industry in China was 300 billion yuan, accounting for the total sales of the auto industry. One-third of sales of parts and components were relatively concentrated in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Chongqing, and Liaoning. In 2003, 6 provinces and cities sold a total of 480 billion yuan in parts and components, accounting for 50% of the country’s auto parts sales. - 60%.
Due to the decentralization of parts and components, in the parts supply logistics business, although the third-party logistics began to intervene, most of the parts and components logistics business is still undertaken by decentralized social logistics. The vast majority of third-party automobile logistics is concentrated in vehicle sales. Logistics. The continuous development of the automotive industry has prompted auto manufacturers to continuously strive to improve the production model to adapt to the pace of market competition. Therefore, some advanced production methods are gradually applied to daily production, including the JIT model. In order to realize zero inventory, vehicle manufacturers require parts suppliers to supply according to their production rhythm and production demand, and suppliers or entire vehicle manufacturers' supply departments implement JIT delivery of “direct delivery stations†to maximize Minimize the risk of vehicle manufacturers. Due to the large number of automotive parts, there are many suppliers of different spare parts, and these suppliers are often distributed throughout the country. In many cases, suppliers generally complete or commission transportation companies to complete trunk transport. Currently, most transport companies are at a low level of price competition, and there are no advanced information technology infrastructures for transportation management methods, which cannot provide high quality for enterprises. The service and follow-up services are all lagging behind, and the uncontrollability of mainline transportation will lead to further increase in spare parts inventory. The traditional logistics system has gradually reflected many problems such as too many intermediate links in the logistics and high inventory of the main equipment factories. Compared with the logistics system of the traditional main equipment factories, the third-party logistics companies have an impact on improving the logistics environment and enhancing the core business competitiveness of the automobile manufacturing enterprises. Significant results, especially in the reduction of logistics costs, auto parts companies to reduce investment, improve logistics efficiency, real-time tracking services have a complete workflow protection.
Auto parts companies must adhere to their own core competencies, change the mode of self-operated logistics, and through strategic alliances with third-party logistics companies, outsource non-core businesses to logistics companies. In order to save capital and improve the competitiveness of their own companies.
