(1) Solution Overview

With the continuous expansion of urban rail transit network scale and growing operating mileage, the industry is transitioning from a high‑speed development phase focused mainly on engineering construction to a new high‑quality development stage featuring equal emphasis on construction and operation, as well as coordinated development of existing and new‑added capacities. Material and equipment management covers dozens of professional fields including rolling stock, signaling, power supply, communication and track maintenance, characterized by extensive product categories, low standardization and difficult supply coordination. Given long project cycles, frequent changes and numerous participating entities, traditional extensive management and decentralized procurement models can hardly meet the industry requirements for refined, compliant and digital development. Meanwhile, information silos are prevalent across upstream and downstream supply chain participants. Bottlenecks such as lack of data support for demand forecasting, disconnection between procurement execution and financial control, and separation between asset maintenance and physical asset management have become increasingly prominent, restricting enterprises from continuously improving cost‑efficiency and risk prevention‑and‑control capabilities.

Based on real‑world pain points and development trends of supply‑chain management in the urban rail transit industry, this solution adopts the design philosophy of "full‑business coverage, end‑to‑end process connectivity and full‑element control", and leverages digital technologies to drive business model reconstruction and management capability upgrading. Vertically, the platform connects key links across the full supply‑chain lifecycle including demand planning, procurement and bidding, contract performance, material inbound and outbound, asset maintenance and equipment disposal. Horizontally, it integrates core supporting systems such as supplier management, financial management, electronic contracts and approval workflows, so as to build a unified, collaborative and transparent digital supply‑chain management platform.

By adopting advanced technical measures including intelligent procurement forecasting, multi‑mode procurement mechanisms such as comparison‑based selection, bidding and framework agreements, a closed‑loop supplier evaluation system, as well as RFID IoT sensing and mobile‑terminal operations, the solution systematically addresses prominent problems such as low procurement efficiency, slow inventory turnover, insufficient supplier collaboration, and inconsistencies between asset book records and physical assets. It effectively eliminates breaks among business flows, data flows and capital flows, helping enterprises realize management transformation from experience‑driven to data‑driven operations. Furthermore, its design featuring full‑process traceability and deep integration of business‑finance integration strongly supports enterprise internal control compliance and audit traceability requirements, laying a solid foundation for urban rail transit enterprises to build an efficient, standardized, collaborative and sustainable smart supply‑chain management system.
