With a complex supply chain (characterized by diverse raw materials and numerous dosage forms), how can we achieve refined management to control costs, ensure quality, and respond quickly to market demands?

Multiple categories and SKUs pose a significant challenge to the supply chain, necessitating the implementation of a "data-driven flexible supply chain" and "pyramid-style hierarchical management of products".

Firstly, implement a pyramid-based product stratification strategy. Divide products into three categories: 1. Basic traffic-driven products: such as several classic herbal teas and major single-product solid beverages. These products have stable demand and adopt "make-to-stock" (MTS) production, which involves large-scale production based on historical data predictions to reduce costs and ensure instant delivery. 2. Strategically promoted products: such as seasonal flagship tonics and innovative plant-based beverages. These products adopt "assemble-to-order" (ATO) or "make-to-order" (MTO) models, with core raw materials stocked, and ultimately undergo flexible production based on market pre-sales or final orders. 3. Test and rapid response products: such as new flavor soft candies and co-branded tablet candies. These products adopt a "small batch, rapid response" model, utilizing minimum viable products (MVPs) to test the market, and quickly making decisions based on data feedback, greatly reducing the cost of trial and error and inventory risk.

Secondly, construct a full-chain digital management system. From raw material procurement, production planning, workshop operations to finished product warehousing and sales logistics, all are integrated into ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and WMS (Warehouse Management System) for unified management. This system requires real-time synchronization of sales data from various channels, and through big data analysis, it can predict the demand for each SKU and automatically generate intelligent replenishment suggestions. At the same time, a strict quality traceability system is established for raw materials and finished products, enabling instant traceability to the source for any batch issues. Through this refined management, enterprises can transform their vast product lines from a burden into a competitive advantage, achieving "tailored supply for each store" and simultaneously raising inventory turnover to the industry-leading level, thereby optimizing cash flow.
