Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cloud platforms and supply chain management, and specifically provides an enterprise procurement collaborative management method and system based on a cloud platform. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence technologies, enterprise supply chain management has gradually moved towards digitalization, intelligentization, and high efficiency. As an efficient tool for data storage, computing, and sharing, cloud platforms provide new technical support for enterprise procurement management. Traditional enterprise procurement management relies on single systems such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), SCM (Supply Chain Management), and WMS (Warehouse Management System), and the data interaction and collaboration between these systems are relatively limited. With the increasing complexity of enterprise supply chains, procurement demand forecasting, inventory management, and supplier collaboration have become important guarantees for the efficient operation of enterprises. Therefore, constructing an enterprise procurement collaborative management method based on a cloud platform to break through multi-source data barriers and achieve cross-system collaboration has become an important research direction in current technology.
[0003] Existing enterprise procurement management technologies have many deficiencies in demand forecasting, inventory management, and supplier collaboration. First, in terms of procurement demand forecasting, traditional methods often rely on a single data source (such as historical procurement data), ignoring the impact of multi-dimensional data such as inventory levels, seasonal factors, market price fluctuations, and emergencies on demand forecasting, resulting in poor accuracy and timeliness of forecasting results. Second, in terms of inventory management, most systems cannot achieve adaptive adjustment of dynamic safety inventory thresholds and lack a real-time linkage mechanism between inventory levels and demand forecasting, which easily leads to overstocking or shortages. In addition, in terms of supplier collaboration, traditional supply chain management systems have significant limitations in supplier performance evaluation, supply chain visualization monitoring, and supplier intelligent recommendation, and cannot achieve efficient supplier matching and real-time tracking. Finally, in terms of procurement execution and risk response, traditional systems usually rely on manual intervention for order generation and approval, cannot quickly respond to emergencies, and there are significant potential supply chain risks. Therefore, existing technologies have significant deficiencies in multi-factor procurement demand forecasting, demand-inventory joint optimization, supplier intelligent recommendation, and dynamic emergency response, and it is difficult to meet the high-efficiency and intelligent requirements of enterprise procurement management in a complex supply chain environment.

[0103] S2: Predict procurement demand and optimize it.
[0104] Furthermore, procurement demand forecasting is a typical multi-factor time series problem. The demand is not only affected by historical procurement data, but also closely related to inventory levels, seasonal factors, market price fluctuations, and unexpected events. Therefore, this model constructs a dynamic and adaptable forecasting framework by introducing a multi-dimensional time series model and decomposing various influencing factors into quantifiable variables.
[0105] The multi-dimensional dynamic procurement demand forecasting model is expressed as:
[0106]
[0107] where Y t represents the predicted procurement demand at time t, μ represents the model bias term, H t-i represents the historical procurement data at time t - i, I t-j represents the inventory level data at time t - j, S t-k represents the seasonal factor data at time t - k, M t-l represents the market price data at time t - l, E t-h represents the unexpected event impact data at time t - h, α i , β j , γ k , δ l , λ h represent dynamic weight coefficients, ∈ t represents the prediction error term;
[0108] The weight dynamic adjustment mechanism is expressed as:
[0109]
[0110] where W h and W i represent the weight adjustment parameters of the data source, which are dynamically optimized according to real-time data feedback;
[0111] The weight coefficients are dynamically allocated through an adaptive adjustment algorithm, continuously optimized with the input of new data, and the accuracy and robustness of the prediction are improved.
[0112] Multi-dimensional data fusion realizes the global and multi-angle forecasting of procurement demand, avoiding the deviation caused by a single factor. Dynamic forecasting adaptively adjusts the weights according to real-time data to adapt to the procurement demand fluctuations in different scenarios. Early warning warns in advance of potential procurement demand peaks or shortages, reducing the risk of supply chain disruptions.
[0113] Provide the procurement demand forecast data at future time points through a multi-dimensional dynamic procurement demand forecast model. Visualize the change trend of the demand volume to facilitate managers to intuitively understand the demand fluctuations. Identify the core variables affecting the procurement demand and optimize the procurement strategy.
[0114] Before the peak season of seasonal demand, the system can predict the peak procurement demand according to the model and generate a procurement plan in advance to avoid the risk of shortage.
[0115] It should be noted that the procurement demand forecast results must be linked with inventory management to minimize the overall cost. This model incorporates procurement cost, inventory holding cost, shortage cost, and emergency response cost into the optimization objective and solves for the optimal procurement quantity and inventory level through linear programming methods.
[0116] The demand-inventory joint optimization model is expressed as:
[0117]
[0118] Apply demand constraints, inventory constraints, safety stock constraints, supplier supply constraints, and non-negativity constraints:
[0119] Q t +I t-1 ≥D t -S t
[0120] I t =I t-1 +Q t -D t
[0121] I t ≥SS t
[0122] Q t ≤Q max
[0123] Q t ,I t ,S t ,E t ≥0
[0124] Among them, Z represents the total procurement cost, C p represents the unit procurement cost of materials, C h represents the unit inventory holding cost, C s represents the unit shortage cost, C e represents the unit emergency procurement cost, Q t represents the procurement quantity at time t, I t represents the inventory level at time t, D t represents the demand volume at time t, SSt represents the safety stock threshold at time t, Q max represents the maximum supply quantity of the supplier, (D t -Q t -I t ) + represents the shortage quantity of unmet demand;
[0125] Achieve the balance of procurement cost, inventory cost and shortage cost through the demand-inventory joint optimization model. Reduce the risk of supply chain disruption through safety stock constraints. Ensure the optimal configuration of procurement batch and replenishment timing.
[0126] The demand-inventory joint optimization model outputs a procurement plan to provide accurate procurement batch and time nodes. Display key indicators such as inventory turnover rate and holding cost through the output inventory analysis report. Provide real-time warnings of insufficient inventory or abnormal costs through the output of abnormal warnings.
[0127] When the system detects that the inventory level is close to the safety threshold, it automatically generates a replenishment plan and conducts supplier matching to ensure the timely replenishment of materials.
[0128] Furthermore, on the basis of procurement demand forecasting and inventory optimization, consider the impact of seasonal demand peaks, market price fluctuations and emergencies on procurement. This model introduces a dynamic adjustment coefficient to optimize the procurement quantity and time nodes.
[0129] Construct a seasonal-price-risk dynamic adjustment model expressed as:
[0130]
[0131] Apply seasonal demand constraints, price fluctuation constraints and risk tolerance constraints:
[0132] Q t ≥D t (1 + S index )
[0133] P t ≤P max
[0134] η ≤ R threshold
[0135] where, F t represents the seasonal demand impact factor, P t represents the market price fluctuation impact factor, R t represents the emergency risk impact factor, α, β, γ represent weight parameters, η represents the procurement quantity to inventory ratio adjustment factor, ξ represents the shortage quantity risk coefficient, S index represents the seasonal index, P maxRepresents the maximum threshold of the market price, R threshold Represents the risk tolerance;
[0136] Flexibly respond to seasonal fluctuations by constructing a seasonal - price - risk dynamic adjustment model, and replenish inventory in advance during the peak demand period. Adjust price sensitivity, purchase in advance when the price is low to reduce the purchase cost. Respond to emergencies, provide emergency procurement strategies, and reduce the risk of supply chain disruption.
[0137] The seasonal - price - risk dynamic adjustment model provides the best procurement timing to adjust the inventory level according to seasonal and price changes. Perceive and warn of market risks in real - time.
[0138] When the market price of the supplier drops, the system will prompt to make bulk purchases in advance to reduce the overall cost.
[0139] S3: Execute procurement based on demand forecasting and optimization results.
[0140] Furthermore, procurement execution and process coordination is the process of transforming the results of demand forecasting and optimization models into actual operations. This step covers purchase order generation, supplier management, process approval, and real - time monitoring to ensure that procurement execution is efficient, compliant, and can respond quickly in case of emergencies.
[0141] Automatically generate and approve purchase orders. Based on demand forecasting and optimization results, automatically generate purchase orders.
[0142] Automatically extract material procurement requirements, quantity, and time nodes. Automatically generate purchase orders, including order numbers, material details, delivery times, etc. Support custom approval processes, and hierarchical approval to ensure compliance.
[0143] Intelligent recommendation based on supplier performance evaluation and historical cooperation data, including comprehensive evaluation of supplier performance (on - time delivery rate, quality stability, price competitiveness), intelligent matching of the best suppliers, dynamically adjusting the supplier portfolio strategy, providing alternative supplier solutions, and ensuring the stability and reliability of procurement.
[0144] Use the cloud platform for process visualization and real - time tracking, including visualizing the status of each stage of the purchase order on the cloud platform, providing real - time tracking and warning functions for the procurement process. In case of abnormal situations (such as delayed delivery, supply chain disruption), trigger the emergency response mechanism.
[0145] Rapid adjustment for unforeseen supply chain risks, including real - time monitoring of emergency information during the procurement process, automatically triggering the emergency procurement process, making dynamic adjustments, and quantitatively evaluating the impact of emergencies to ensure the stability of the supply chain.
[0146] When a certain supplier fails to deliver on time, the system automatically recommends alternative suppliers and generates supplementary orders to prevent production line stoppages.
[0147] It should be noted that the continuous optimization and intelligent learning of the procurement system are important means to achieve the self-evolution of the system. In this step, through data feedback, performance evaluation, and self-learning algorithms, the prediction model and optimization strategy are continuously adjusted to ensure the high efficiency and stability of the system during long-term operation.
[0148] Example 2, an embodiment of the present invention, provides an enterprise procurement collaborative management method based on a cloud platform. To verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through economic benefit calculation and simulation experiments.
[0149] First, a manufacturing enterprise with an annual procurement amount of approximately 50 million yuan was selected for the experiment. The enterprise's procurement categories cover raw materials, components, and auxiliary production materials. The supply chain involves multiple suppliers and has information systems such as ERP, SCM, and WMS.
[0150] Before the experiment began, the following preparatory work was first completed:
[0151] Export the historical procurement data tables of the past 3 years from the enterprise's ERP system. Use the API interface to connect to the SCM supply chain management system to collect data such as procurement records, cycles, and frequencies. Collect data such as real-time inventory levels, safety inventory thresholds, inventory turnover rates, and shelf lives through the WMS interface. Combining historical procurement data, use data visualization tools to extract seasonal demand patterns and analyze factors such as time cycles, high-demand seasons, and holidays. Obtain raw material market prices, price fluctuation trends, and commodity price indices from the supplier system and third-party market monitoring platforms. Use data scraping tools to monitor supply chain emergencies in real time and collect data such as event types, impact ranges, and durations.
[0152] Import the collected multi-dimensional data into the cloud platform for preprocessing, cleaning, and standardization. Use a multi-factor dynamic time series model for demand forecasting training to generate demand trend charts and key influencing factor reports. Combining the demand forecasting results, construct a demand-inventory joint optimization model and set constraints for procurement costs, inventory costs, shortage costs, and emergency response costs. Introduce a seasonal-price-risk dynamic adjustment model to adjust the procurement quantity and procurement timing according to seasonal demand, market prices, and the impact of emergencies.
[0153] Based on the results of the optimization model, automatically generate procurement orders, specifying the procurement quantity, time nodes, and suppliers. Use the cloud platform for visual tracking of the procurement process and real-time monitoring of order status. When the inventory approaches the safety threshold, automatically trigger the replenishment process and match supplier resources.
[0154] Export historical procurement data (procurement records, material categories, procurement frequencies, etc.) from ERP and SCM systems. Obtain real-time inventory data (current inventory levels, safety stock thresholds, etc.) through the WMS system. Conduct visual analysis on seasonal factors and market price fluctuation data to extract key patterns. Use data scraping tools to monitor emergencies and collect relevant data.
[0155] Use a multi-factor dynamic time series model for demand forecasting and generate a procurement demand trend chart. Based on the forecasting results, identify high-demand periods and low-demand periods at different time nodes and determine procurement priorities. Combine the demand forecasting data with inventory data and use a demand-inventory joint optimization model for global optimization. Determine the optimal procurement batch and replenishment time to reduce inventory holding costs and stockout risks.
[0156] In the peak demand season, make material reserves in advance. When the market price drops, purchase in batches in a timely manner to reduce costs. When an emergency occurs, quickly adjust the procurement plan to ensure the stability of the supply chain.
[0157] Automatically generate procurement orders and submit them to suppliers for delivery. Track the procurement process in real time to ensure that orders are delivered on time. Feed the procurement execution data back into the model for parameter optimization to improve forecasting accuracy.
[0158] Table 6 Experimental data table
[0159]
[0160] It can be seen from the above test data that remarkable results have been achieved in aspects such as procurement demand forecasting, inventory management, and procurement execution.
[0161] The deviation between the procurement forecast data and the actual procurement volume is small (the error rate is controlled within ±5%). In peak demand months (such as May and June), the system made demand forecasts and material reserves in advance, avoiding the risk of inventory shortages. The safety stock threshold is dynamically adjusted according to demand forecasts, and the inventory level is maintained within a reasonable range. The inventory holding cost has been significantly reduced, reducing the occupation of funds. When the market price drops, the system automatically conducts batch procurement, effectively reducing the procurement cost. The total procurement cost is reduced by about 12% compared with the traditional procurement model. The system can monitor emergencies in real time and automatically trigger the emergency procurement process to ensure the stability of the supply chain.
