Project Overview

FAW Jiefang Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "FAW Jiefang") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China First Automobile Group Co., Ltd. It is a leading brand in the commercial vehicle industry and the top brand in China's heavy-duty truck sector. Leveraging its rapid business growth and continuous improvement in the product development process, FAW Jiefang established a deep collaboration with Gant Software in 2017. This collaboration was guided by FAW Jiefang's overall procurement strategy, with a focus on digitalization and the goal of centralized integrated procurement management for the entire group. They adopted a step-by-step implementation approach to cover the procurement operations of two major business units: complete vehicles and powertrains across eight major manufacturing facilities in Changchun, Qingdao, Chengdu, Liuzhou, Changchun, Foshan, Wuxi, and Dalian. Based on the overall planning, a centralized procurement control platform, known as Jiefang Excellent Procurement System, was built.

业务挑战

Business Challenges

● The procurement business of FAW JIEFANG in each base has its own characteristics, its own upstream and downstream business environment, and the constraints imposed by the surrounding IT systems. The platform construction needs to balance the established IT development goals, while constructing a centralized procurement management business model within the defined project timeline, posing significant difficulties and challenges.

● The existing production procurement operations were scattered across various discrete systems and business personnel, resulting in the inability to accumulate and transfer decentralized data.

甘棠方案
