Klaus Spicher European logistics and supply chain experts
[fang]: Germany not only won the World Cup , and in many industrial areas of Germany also win champion, why German companies in the industrial sector is very successful?
[Klaus Spicher]: the German company's employees are not working for the shareholders, but to work for the family business owners themselves, so they have an incentive to continue to create value, if in the future there are more joint-stock enterprises appear, or simply such is the power of money and the work is not enough.
[fang dianjun]: We can learn a lot from Germany, especially in product design, for future work, you can use the Internet and mobile Internet to enhance our efficiency and increase performance of our work. I would like to know what you recommend for China? Is not China has a unique way to improve efficiency?
[Klaus Spicher]: First, I think there are enough of the right talent and manpower is very important. Chinese industrial 4.0 is also not ready, this is just my personal opinion, I saw some Chinese companies do not produce records of data, there is no automated data collection, there is no production management, for example, some companies are missing code , like those in the 4.0 is very difficult, so we need to reach a certain maturity of the company in the organization structure.
Do a lot of work on 4.0, although only the development of an industry, the logistics must be adapted to modern needs.
[Klaus Spicher]: supply chain to meet the needs of people, the problem for me is that this demand is not right? Or industrial demand and it must be right? Or is another issue, China, the industry is not ready to provide all the products? Or is this surface needs, or is false demand led industry to bring follow-up? In my opinion this demand, the demand for our industry to discuss now is unreal, is costly, and it is disappointing, so people will accuse you.
[fang dianjun]: the Internet as a lot of changes in the society, e-commerce in China is very prosperous, developing very fast, in Germany, the Internet is not very important? Germany is definitely the future of industrial 4.0 and Internet together, your point is what?
[Thomas wimmer]: we can see the development of the Internet in Germany is not as fast as the Asian Development. For me, the customer is our most important figures, because customers are those who pay, we get the money from the customer, the customer allows us to survive, we must put the customer as the emperor, to meet customer requirements. Whether it is the Internet or on a piece of paper written orders orders, we must take seriously.
[Klaus Spicher]: Social network will affect people's needs, this will be in response to the needs of the industry. You can see the whole process a change, we timely delivery, as customers require timely delivery, if they can affect the customer's needs, it can also affect the industry, as well as affect the whole community system. This is what we are now facing, for a small supply chain is very important that we talk about big data, to transcend the times.
[Thomas wimmer: I think JIT is characteristic of the industry, many of our components, requiring time production, if it is an ordinary warehouse, warehouse space too much, too much cost, companies can not afford. If the customer wants a range of products, logistics experts to provide services. For example, BMW offers the flexibility of their products to the customers, because they have the strategy, such as sales strategy.
[fang dianjun]: Klaus speech talked about the management of things, do you think China has no corresponding opportunity to make Internet governance?
[Klaus Spicher]: I am very clear that the Chinese have a lot of opportunity, because it is very easy to do, does not require a very large infrastructure, just a different way of thinking, we have to change the mentality to be able to drive the continuous development of enterprises I think the thinking of the Chinese people is very high flexibility and strong adaptability, this 4.0 faster than the industry. We will speak in Chinese Internet industry, the Internet is becoming increasingly important industry, the Internet industry together, you think of this thinking is the same? For example, the machines and people linked together is not the future of industry?
[Thomas]: I think this is a global trend, we are the same, we have our own limitations, but also have their own experience, we do have limited technical and limited facilities, but we still have to develop, such as South Korea, they broadband is much better than in Germany, so the future we can also learn from South Korea, not only to learn, to see what is beneficial for our country.
[fang dianjun]: Due to time constraints, we master the dialogue ended, please summarize two for China's industry has no corresponding recommendations?
[Thomas]: I think we need to do training, better management of China's process, if your industry is a defect, high quality, can not beat anyone, and I hope you continue to strive to achieve their goals, it is good management.
[Klaus]: I think the focus on education, I have done a lot of university teaching in China, I think it is more important than learning to understand, so my advice is in order to achieve future goals, we must have a very good education in the industry , have a very good joint between industry and universities, the students brought to the enterprise, research linked together. Secondly, the specialized knowledge to produce results, it should be education at the university, so for me, education is the key to the future of a country do you want to do this little thing, from the bottom to start doing education.
[Question] Guest: What next line logistics dilemma can be used online to solve? Thereby creating a unique Internet-based logistics value? These difficulties are scattered points, or systematic? Whether the body will pull a launch?
[Thomas wimmer]: For me, the most important thing is to use the Internet make very good management and organization. So that all people have access to unified information standards, for example, to see what the customer needs, you can make all the understanding, and I think the Internet is a support tool, which is provided to produce something of value, but the Internet itself is not an organization who, if we use the EDP technology and the Internet, we have a good organization to meet the company's needs in order to succeed.
[Klaus Spicher]: if only order processing, we can use the Internet to improve the technology and processes, track customer information tracking systems are high-speed information processing that any company can take advantage of. So do not last handwritten orders, we can have a virtual orders, these orders can enter the center, about two hours to process a, which is to bring the benefits of the Internet and progress. We have a competition, there is progress.
[fang dianjun]: solving logistics problems of information flow through the line, this is a big project. We believe in the future to solve logistics problems between businesses, a way to cancel the order is important so that logistics problems can be effectively solved.
