Analysis on the characteristics of standard fastener industry and supply chain

Fastener products have a high degree of standardization, so they are also called standard parts, commonly known as industrial rice. They have a wide variety of varieties and are widely used. In the fastener industry network platform, standardized data should be very rich and perfect. From the mechanical drawing of each fastener product to the streamlined display of specification parameter data, great effort is not required.

Classification

1. According to product bolts and screws, studs, machine screws, nuts, welding screws, self-tapping screws, wood screws, washers, retaining rings, pins, rivets, assemblies, tools and other screws

2. According to the standards of Austrian Standard AS, American Standard ASME, American Standard ASTM, American Standard ANSI, British Standard BS, German Standard DIN, European Standard EN, National Standard GB, Navigation Standard HB, Chemical Standard HG, American Standard IFI, International Standard ISO, former Ministry of Machinery JB, Japanese standard JIS, French standard NF, standard PEM, automobile standard Q, Ministry of Railways TB, Italy UNI, etc.

Classification is the directory tree of products, which is very convenient for users to browse.

Supply Chain

The degree of standardization also affects the entire distribution service system. There are also many companies engaged in fastener trading and trade warehousing services. Most of the standard parts are made of iron, which can be stored for a long time, and the goods themselves have the characteristics of maintaining value. Therefore, large-scale foreign industrial product distribution groups will regularly stock up large quantities of raw materials when the price of raw materials is right according to their customers' long-term needs. Because of the wide variety of products, the classification management becomes very complicated, so buyers are more inclined to cooperate with trade distributors who can provide zero inventory management for a long time.

Supply

Fastener buyers include: traders, end users; often encounter such problems, orders come, but they want products but can’t find them, sometimes the order quantity is small, and the price of re-opening the mold will be particularly high. . The wide variety of products and the large occupation of product funds determine that small and medium-sized traders cannot hoard a large amount of spot, so every time an order comes, the first time to find a satisfactory source is the key to whether the order can be traded. Most of the production-oriented enterprises are based on orders first and then processing, not stocks. Large-scale and powerful companies will produce products for their own distribution throughout the year and establish their own distribution channels. At the same time, sluggish inventory is also a problem for fastener traders and manufacturers. However, the products released by enterprises on different websites have expired and become invalid due to the continuous changes of information. The asymmetry of information is particularly prominent in the fastener industry. Through the implementation of e-commerce information services, Yijintong provides fastener companies with fast and accurate methods to find suppliers. The search methods include intelligent matching retrieval, classification browsing, standard indexing, and material grades. Ensuring that the information is timely and effective is also a major feature of the site.
