Promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial chain supply chain
Industrial chain supply chain is the key to smooth economic cycle in big countries. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has made important arrangements such as "improving the modernization level of industrial chain supply chain", "enhancing the self-control ability of industrial chain supply chain" and "improving the toughness and safety level of industrial chain supply chain", which has led to the steady development of China’s industrial chain supply chain and the gradual improvement of its safety and stability level. Further promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial chain supply chain in the new journey is an important content of developing new quality productivity and building a modern industrial system.
Development status of industrial chain supply chain
At present, the scale advantage of China’s industrial development is increasingly stable, the category system is more complete, the industrial structure is continuously optimized, the development of industrial chain supply chain has achieved remarkable results, and the toughness and safety level of industrial chain have been greatly improved. However, in order to further advance to the advanced level, we still need to improve the level in the following aspects.
The first is to further improve the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain supply chain. To effectively deal with the risks of "broken chain" and "broken chain" in the industrial chain supply chain, we must speed up the promotion of the global competitiveness of the industrial chain supply chain. In recent years, China’s industry has made remarkable progress in the fields of consumer electronics, communication equipment and new energy vehicles. However, there are still many industries at the low end of the "smile curve" of the global value chain, that is, the manufacturing and assembly of parts with low added value are the main parts. In the future, it is still necessary to continuously improve the level of industrial development and strive to move towards the higher end of the global value chain.
The second is to accelerate the green transformation of the industrial chain supply chain. China has taken the lead in the green transformation of industrial chain supply chain in automobile manufacturing, electronic appliances and other industries, and achieved remarkable results. But generally speaking, the practice of green transformation of industrial chain supply chain is still in its infancy, and there is still a gap compared with the international advanced level in terms of standard identification, evaluation rules, management criteria and supervision mechanism.
The third is to promote the digital development of industrial chain supply chain to be more balanced. There is a significant difference between the digital development level of emerging industries and traditional industries. The digital empowerment effect of emerging industries such as modern logistics and online education is very significant, but the progress of digital upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries is relatively slow. The digital ecology in areas with high economic development level is relatively complete, but the conditions of digital infrastructure construction and professional and technical personnel in cities, towns and rural areas are relatively insufficient. All these lead to the imbalance of digital development of industrial chain supply chain, so we must make up the gap as soon as possible and promote the balanced development of digital supply chain of industrial chain.
Optimization and upgrading path of industrial chain supply chain
China has super-large-scale market advantages, a complete industrial system and years of technological innovation precipitation. Based on these advantages and potentials, we should focus on the following paths to promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial chain supply chain:
Focus on key links and improve the self-controllable ability of industrial chain supply chain. The self-control of industrial chain supply chain is the basis for the optimization and upgrading of industrial chain supply chain, and also the guarantee for the stable operation of economy. Self-control requires that the supply chain of industrial chain can predict and avoid risks in advance, and can still maintain effective operation after being impacted by risks. In terms of risk avoidance, we should build a risk identification, monitoring and early warning mechanism for industrial chain supply chain, predict potential risk factors, transmission mechanism and loss consequences in time, and set up a special emergency department to avoid possible external shocks from the source; Relying on the advantages of super-large-scale market, we will establish long-term and high-level cooperative relations with more countries, build a stable and diversified international cooperation network, promote China’s cross-border trade to be denominated and settled in RMB, and actively participate in international commodity pricing power competition. In dealing with risks, focus on the "stuck neck" problem in the fields of biological breeding and high-end chip research and development, increase financial support and personnel training, and strengthen key technology research; Focus on raw materials such as mineral resources and crude oil, and strengthen the development, construction and reserve of domestic resources.
Pay attention to scientific and technological innovation and promote the value of industrial chain supply chain to climb. Scientific and technological innovation is the core driving force for the progress and development of industrial chain supply chain. To promote the value of industrial chain supply chain, we must rely on scientific and technological innovation. We should increase investment in research and development of scientific and technological innovation, further strengthen the coordination of policies such as finance, finance and talents, and provide financial support and talent support for independent innovation of enterprises; Promote cooperation in Industry-University-Research, establish industry associations, industrial alliances and other organizations, smooth the information exchange and resource sharing among the subjects of "government and Industry-University-Research capital", and speed up the coordinated research of technology and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements by means of exposing the list system and jointly cultivating professional talents; Focus on supporting large enterprises and leading enterprises to develop into "chain-owner" enterprises, encourage them to shoulder the main responsibility of technological innovation, support them to build joint innovation institutions and collaborative research and development platforms with relevant entities, and improve the ability and level of integrated innovation in the whole chain; Encourage small and medium-sized enterprises to focus on their main business and tap their advantages, and continue to build enterprises with strong market competitiveness and innovation ability such as "specialization and novelty" and "invisible champion".
Deepen cooperation and promote the green transformation of the whole chain of industrial chain and supply chain. The green transformation of industrial chain supply chain is the inherent requirement of its optimization and upgrading. Under the background of global industrial chain division of labor, the greening of industrial chain supply chain is a systematic dynamic process involving upstream and downstream links and stakeholders, which requires the whole chain connection, multi-agent cooperation and all-round participation. Guidance documents on the green standard system, objectives, tasks and process management of industrial chain supply chain should be promulgated in time to provide specific guidance for promoting the green transformation of industrial chain supply chain; Clarify the roles and functions of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and other departments, improve the multi-sectoral cooperation mechanism, and promote the formation of joint efforts and improve efficiency among all departments; Explore the green supervision of product life cycle, introduce reward and punishment mechanisms such as financial subsidies, accountability, criticism and warning, and encourage industry organizations and the public to participate in social supervision; Guide consumers to form green consumption habits and lifestyles by means of social media publicity and theme activities, and help cultivate the green consumption market; Actively participate in the discussion and formulation of international green standards.
Coordinate the layout of factors and balance the level of digital intelligence in the supply chain of the industrial chain. From the industry point of view, the digital upgrading of traditional industrial chain supply chain has the characteristics of large initial investment and long payback period, and enterprises often lack sufficient motivation. The government should strengthen top-level design, provide them with funds, talents, technology and other support, and guide large, medium and small enterprises in the chain to jointly carry out basic research and development of digital technology. Enterprises should define the core digital technology requirements according to their own production and operation characteristics. For example, manufacturing enterprises should focus on introducing digital technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence to form intelligent production lines to improve production efficiency, while enterprises with complex core technologies can focus on the optimization of logistics or management links by technologies such as blockchain and big data. From a regional perspective, we should make overall plans to promote the upgrading of network facilities, computing facilities and other digital infrastructure construction, establish and improve the digital factor market rules system, help regions with weak digital economic foundation to accelerate the upgrading of digital ecological level, and guide regions to dig deep into their own resource endowments, promote the deep integration of digital economy and regional existing real economy, and promote the application and resource reconstruction of digital intelligence to empower traditional industrial chain supply chain innovation scenarios. Encourage the use of "one-on-one pairing" and other ways to carry out regional cooperation, and provide experience and technical support to areas where the digital upgrading of industrial chain supply chain is slow.
