Figure 5
The top left of the figure shows a box that contains three vertically arranged labels that read “Order 1: fulfilment manager(project)”, “Order 2: fulfilment manager(project)”, and “Order N: fulfilment manager(project)”. From “Order 2: fulfilment manager(project)”, a downward arrow points to “Order N: fulfilment manager(project)”. To the right of this box, another box is shown labeled “Resource Coordinator(product 1)”, “Resource Coordinator(product 2)”, and “Resource Coordinator(product M)”, and from “Resource Coordinator(product 2)”, a downward arrow points to “Resource Coordinator(product M)”. Between these two boxes, the text “N cross M Matrix Communication” is shown, with several arrows from the first box labels pointing to the labels in the second box. To the right of this second box, another box is shown and labeled “Planner and Buyer”, “Assembly planner”, and “Master planner Buyer”. Between these middle and right side boxes, additional criss-crossing arrows are displayed, along with the text “N is to M Mesh communication”. A downward arrow arises from these three boxes and points to a horizontal sequence of process boxes that visualise the current manual workflow. The boxes, arranged left to right, read “Manually Export material Shortage information”, “Determine causes of material shortage using experience”, “Manually Address the impact of materialShortage information”, “Update supply capabilities Outside the system”, “Determine supply-demand matching using experience”, and a final box containing “Adjustment &splitting”, “Substitution communication”, and “Pulling upgrade”. Each box is connected to the next with a right-pointing arrow. Below this sequence, the word “After” appears in a horizontal box. From “After”, a downward arrow arises and points to a rectangular box; inside this rectangular box, a circular flowchart is shown behind with a text box labeled “Real-time supply capability update”, and moving clockwise the box labeled “Intelligent solution recommendation”, “Automatic scanning of material shortage risks”, and “Intelligent analysis of material shortage causes”. From this circular flowchart, a right-pointing arrow arises and points to a box labeled “Automatic execution of substitution-splitting-adjustment”. Beneath these boxes, a horizontal cloud-shaped form is labeled “Lingkun digital intelligent cloud brain”. A double-headed arrow from this cloud shape extends downward and points to a circular arrow graphic labeled “Scenario plus Algorithms”. On the left of the double-headed arrow, a text box labeled “Data analytics”, “Simulation Data analytics”, is present. On the right side of the double-headed arrow, two text boxes labeled “Contingency Plan” and “Decisions and Directives” are present. On the left side of “Scenario plus Algorithms”, a text box labeled “Business digitization” is present; likewise, on the right, a text box labeled “Service-oriented process or I T: Service-oriented system” is present. At the bottom, a rectangular box is shown with a horizontal flow that shows the logistics chain; from left to right, the flow is as follows: “Supplier”, “Factory”, “D C”, “Customs”, “Central warehouse”, “Site and customer”.Building Huawei's intelligent supply chain system
