Five-year Butterfly Change of China Railway Construction Corporation's Supply Chain

online purchasing rate has increased to 91%, the purchasing efficiency has increased by 60%, and the annual turnover of the platform has exceeded 380 billion yuan, which is the answer sheet of the digital transformation of the supply chain handed in by China Railway Construction during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. Faced with the increasingly complex market competition and industrial chain risks, China Railway Construction takes the "Railway Construction Cloud Chain" intelligent platform as the core engine to promote the system reconstruction and value remodeling of supply chain management, which not only injects strong momentum into the high-quality development of enterprises, but also provides a "railway construction sample" for the modernization and upgrading of the supply chain in the construction industry.

Based on the strategic node at the beginning of the "15th Five-Year Plan" and looking back at the "14th Five-Year Plan", China Railway Construction Corporation, which has gone through an extraordinary course of development, adheres to the main line of "full chain coordination, global optimization and value creation", and firmly moves forward on the road of improving the strong resilience and competitiveness of the supply chain. Build a platform of "Railway Construction Cloud Chain" covering the whole area, build a smart supply chain system with high efficiency, self-control and ecological co-prosperity, and inject strong momentum into the high-quality development of enterprises. Through system reconstruction and digital intelligence empowerment, China Railway Construction has promoted supply chain management to upgrade from "procurement management" to "supply chain management", from "decentralized and disorderly procurement" to "strategy + framework + mall", "three major procurement", from "offline procurement" to "online procurement", and from "new purchase" to "priority adjustment". It has achieved remarkable results in reducing costs and increasing efficiency, ensuring supply and supporting strategies, and has helped enterprises to continuously enhance their endogenous power and market competitiveness. The competition in the

construction market at home and abroad is becoming increasingly fierce, and the risk of the industrial chain and supply chain is increasing. If enterprises do not improve the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain and supply chain through systematic changes, they will not be able to survive and develop in the global competition. The reform of supply chain management must first establish its foundation.

"Concentrate on promoting the construction and promotion of the" Railway Construction Cloud Chain "system and the construction of supply chain finance", "Promote intensive procurement, deepen the promotion of supply chain management, and promote the large-scale transformation and application of the existing achievements of the" Three Major Procurement "," Strengthen the application and iteration of the "Railway Construction Cloud Chain".. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China Railway Construction Corporation focused on building a supply chain management organization system of "1 + 1 + 3 + N" (one leading group, one centralized management department, three service agencies and N grass-roots implementation units), and coordinated efforts from three aspects of system, organization and mechanism to promote the transition of supply chain from "fragmentation" to "systematization". On May 26,

2025, Dai Hegen, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Board of China Railway Construction Corporation, was invited to attend the ASEAN Station Promotion Meeting of the Third China International Supply Chain Promotion Expo, and made a speech as a representative of the Chinese side, and conducted in-depth exchanges with representatives of government agencies and enterprises of many ASEAN countries on the construction of a stable and efficient regional industrial chain supply chain. He said that China Railway Construction will give full play to the advantages of the whole industrial chain, continue to promote industrial synergy and local integration, expand cooperation space in key areas such as transportation infrastructure, new industrialization, green and low carbon, and join hands with ASEAN countries to build a high-quality "the Belt and Road".

With 18 key tasks and 67 specific measures, we will build a modern supply chain management system and an integrated intelligent supply chain platform with ingenuity; build a "1 + N" system with the "Supply Chain Management Measures" as the core, and introduce more than 30 systems such as procurement, capital, contract and logistics. The landing of each measure is the vivid practice of comprehensively deepening the Special Action Plan for Promoting Supply Chain Management of China Railway Construction. A series of measures have further improved the efficiency of supply chain collaboration and value creation, which has injected strong impetus for China Railway Construction to achieve penetrating procurement management, maximize cost reduction and efficiency, and high-quality development of enterprises.

In addition, China Railway Construction issued the Medium and Long-term Development Strategy and Planning of Supply Chain, which drew the blueprint of the "1345" development strategy and the "1363" intelligent supply chain platform in the system, and further promoted the enterprise to achieve fine management and cost reduction and efficiency of the whole chain. At present, the procurement units inside and outside the system directly quote the procurement results of China Railway Construction, effectively reduce the operation of procurement sourcing links, and greatly improve the procurement efficiency and frequency of using the "Railway Construction Cloud Chain" platform. Compared with the past, the strategic procurement savings rate of "three major materials" and industrial oil products, two or three types of materials and office supplies has been further improved, which has realized the supply and demand management of the efficient supply chain platform for suppliers to quickly receive orders online and supply goods offline.

In view of the pain point of "decentralized and disorderly" traditional procurement, China Railway Construction has reconstructed the material procurement system, strengthened the collection of corporate units, gradually abolished the bidding and procurement rights of project departments, vigorously implemented the centralized procurement mode based on "three major procurement", and promoted the transformation of procurement from "decentralized and disorderly" to "intensive and efficient", with the online procurement rate of "railway construction cloud chain" reaching 91%. The efficiency has been improved by 60%, the procurement has been more standardized and transparent, the management loopholes have been effectively plugged, and the construction of the "three corruption-free" system and mechanism has been promoted.

Focusing on the centralized procurement business scenario of supply chain strategy, China Railway Construction Finance launched the "war procurement loan" to provide low-cost and efficient financing support for member units with war procurement needs, helping the whole chain to reduce costs and increase efficiency. In view of the problems of centralized maturity of payables and short-term capital pressure of member units, the "Guaranteed Loan (2025)" product covers all types of procurement scenarios of member units, and through the design of sectional repayment and flexible pricing mechanism, effectively alleviates the financial pressure, guarantees the timely payment of small and medium-sized enterprises, and realizes the "stable chain" of upstream and downstream supply chains. "Supply, payment and loan" is applicable to China Railway Materials and other secondary units with third-level material trade companies, which can smooth the payment path of material logistics supply chain in the system through preferential interest rates and directional services, and break through the capital blockage points in material procurement, warehousing and transportation links.

is the core engine of supply chain transformation.". In the direction of "one system, one platform, integrated and systematic reform",

China Railway Construction has integrated the original "cloud mining, cloud rent" and other systems, created a "railway construction cloud chain" platform with independent intellectual property rights, and promoted the supply chain from "traditional offline" to "digital intelligence".

As the promotion unit of China Railway Construction Supply Chain Management, China Railway Material has built a full-chain digital service system with the integration of "digital + entity". The "Railway Construction Cloud Chain" under its responsibility integrates the three core applications of electronic procurement, supplier management and supply chain collaboration, integrates six business modules of Railway Construction Mall, Intelligent Logistics, Recycling Materials and Intelligent Business Travel, and supports three data centers of online price analysis, early warning and supervision, so as to realize the full chain support of "management + transaction + service".

"The data connection between the systems has greatly saved us the cost and time of docking, and the business personnel of both sides no longer have to worry about the complicated and huge data entry." A few days ago, China Railway Material Pangu Cloud Chain Company received

In 2025, the 16th Bureau of China Railway and China Railway Materials jointly innovatively put forward a mixed mode of "strategic procurement" and "strategic procurement with account period", each accounting for 50%, to optimize and form a standardized model of centralized procurement cooperation covering core terms such as pricing, service rate and payment guarantee, which was extended to 16 units in the China Railway Construction System. At the same time, the 16th Bureau of China Railway has fully applied the new sectors of "Railway Construction Cloud Chain", such as the core business of bidding and procurement and recycling materials, to further improve the basic database, promote the online connection of material management system and "Railway Construction Cloud Chain" settlement data, realize the extraction of the whole data chain, and effectively improve the efficiency of "integration of industry and finance".

In view of the market characteristics of uneven distribution of resources and different prices in different steel mills, China Railway Construction Material Company has carried out strategic procurement, formed multi-category, multi-channel and multi-regional cooperation with 41 first-line steel mills in China, such as Shougang, Linggang, Shaangang and Baowu, and deployed 42 warehousing bases throughout the country, cooperating with more than 100 fleets to build a new one. Break through the resource barriers between different regions and realize the integration, circulation and sharing of resources throughout the country. They constantly come up with "material plan", "material customization", "material service", steel mill direct delivery, cross-regional transfer, "north material southward", "south material northward" and other practices to successfully reduce costs and increase efficiency for customers.

It covers 417 projects, improves data efficiency by 50%, and reduces the burden of grass-roots units by 30%. The 11th Bureau of China Railway Construction has developed its own intelligent material system to get through the "last mile" of supply chain management, realize online material receipt and delivery, automatic accounting, and apply large model OCR recognition (invoice accuracy 99%) to speed up business processing by 40%. Guided

by "business compliance, efficiency improvement and cost control", China Railway Construction Bridge Bureau relies on the platform of "Railway Construction Cloud Chain" to promote the digitalization transformation of supply chain, constructs the main data standards of materials covering 11 categories and 53 sub-categories, completes 552 projects and more than 500000 material codes, and improves the data consistency to 98. The four-level data of "group company, engineering company, project department and construction site" are connected, and the timeliness of business data acquisition is optimized from 3 days to real-time.

These successful cases are a vivid portrayal of China Railway Construction's cracking of "information islands" through data governance.During

the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China Railway Construction Corporation formulated and implemented the "Coding Rules for Engineering Projects, Materials, Equipment, Suppliers and Experts", generated more than 530,000 unified material codes, strictly implemented the "one object, one code", effectively solved the problems of "synonym" and "data fragmentation", and laid a foundation for cross-unit and cross-business interconnection and scientific decision-making. The effectiveness of

value creation highlights

that "we should comprehensively promote the transformation and application of strategic procurement, framework procurement and shopping mall procurement results." The person in charge of China Railway Material said that in the process of deepening the supply chain management, the company fulfilled the requirements of China Railway Construction, fulfilled the positioning of "suppliers and service providers", accelerated the implementation of the "three major procur ements", and through organizing training, improving the functions of each module of the "railway construction cloud chain" platform, and breaking through the barriers of suppliers at the source, etc. Make cost reduction and efficiency increase visible, and make management improvement tangible.

"Up to now, the total assets of idle waste materials in the integrated system of Railway Construction Cloud Chain Recycling Material Platform are 21.6 billion yuan, the total amount of assets activated is over 7.2 billion yuan, the total amount of purchase funds saved is nearly 3 billion yuan, the total amount of waste materials disposed is 3.2 billion yuan, and the comprehensive premium rate is 35%, which effectively helps the whole system to reduce costs and increase efficiency." The person in charge of the operation of the platform said, "The platform has also introduced the industry's authoritative market data service and in-depth cooperation with high-quality external business platforms to provide data empowerment for the revitalization of idle waste materials, and at the same time, it has deepened the extensive cooperation between China Railway Construction and external enterprises to organize a green ecological network."

groups of numbers, cases, It has become a vivid footnote for China Railway Construction to promote cost reduction and efficiency enhancement through procurement upgrading, ecological optimization of supply chain through resource integration, and efficient coordination of supply chain through digital and intelligent empowerment. In April 2024, "Railway Construction Cloud Rent" was launched, which centrally managed 260,000 sets of equipment and implemented online management of the whole process of equipment leasing. In the past two years, the turnover has exceeded 50 billion yuan. Capital saving rate 3. In July 2025, we will take the lead in establishing the "Central Enterprise Asset Revitalization Alliance", share more than 1500 idle equipment with 5 central enterprises by using the platform, promote the efficient flow of resources across the system, and build a win-win supply chain ecosystem; we have organized the centralized procurement of major materials for key projects such as Yilu, Jiaoluoping, Changgan and G4, so as to reduce the procurement cost by exchanging quantity for price. Centralized procurement of floor materials was piloted in Hunan region to create a new mode of centralized procurement of floor materials; idle resource information was shared as a whole, more than 160 sets of shield equipment and more than 100 sets of lifting and transporting equipment were activated, the idle rate of large equipment assets was reduced from 26% to 19%, and the idle rate of turnover materials was reduced from 46% to 31%, effectively tapping the value of stock assets; "Railway Construction Cloud Chain Intelligent Logistics Platform" connects factories and construction sites through the "factory direct connection" mode, and promotes the upgrading of supply chain from "single procurement" to "full chain value creation". The intensive level of supply chain management and value creation ability of China Railway

Construction Corporation have also been significantly improved. In 2025, China Railway Construction Corporation ranked 27 places higher in the procurement and supply chain management benchmarking of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, and the grade was promoted to B, which indicates that the supply chain management has changed from "following" to "running side by side", and is moving towards a higher quality development.

From "running side by side" to "leading the way", the

"15th Five-Year Plan" proposes to "guide the rational and orderly cross-border layout of the industrial chain and supply chain". Standing at the new starting point of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan", China Railway Construction has opened a new chapter in its high-quality development.

Looking forward to the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan", China Railway Construction will deepen the improvement of supply chain management, and accelerate the formation of a supply chain system with elements gathering, linking up, matching each other, stability and security through the "four-flow coordination" of business flow, logistics, capital flow and information flow and the "four-side attack" of supply, demand, logistics and capital. Promote the transformation of supply chain from "cost control tool" to "value creation engine", and upgrade from traditional "cost unit" to "profit growth pole".

China Railway Construction will further expand the application scenarios and ecological functions of the "Railway Construction Cloud Chain" platform, strengthen collaboration with suppliers, logistics providers and financial institutions, build an ecological system of "supply chain + finance + service", and provide customers with full-chain services from procurement, logistics to financing. We will further strengthen supply chain risk warning and response capabilities, predict market fluctuations through big data analysis, optimize inventory management, and ensure the stability and security of the supply chain.

The journey is full of wind, and the heavy task is to set sail again. China Railway Construction Corporation is taking the "four transformations" as the driving force, building the foundation of supply chain management through digital intelligence, and writing a new chapter of deepening and upgrading supply chain management in the process of building a world-class enterprise.
