In shaping its endogenous development capabilities and upgrading its organizational structure, CMOC has taken another crucial step. The company has officially established a Global Supply Chain Center to further strengthen its platform-based strategy. The establishment of this center will transform the previous management model that relied on individual and regional experience, upgrading it to a new global operating system based on standardization and digitalization, thereby enhancing cross-regional coordination efficiency and cost competitiveness.
Timely Emergence: Addressing Global Management Challenges Through Platformization This year, as organizational upgrades continue and a host of outstanding talents join the company, refined operations and building a platform-based company have become key "priorities." Coupled with the evolving landscape of the international mineral resources sector, where competition on cost and efficiency has become the industry's "main theme," CMOC recognized that to unite its globally dispersed business units into an efficiently coordinated whole, it must build a more robust mid-platform capability.
From an organizational perspective, consolidating and integrating the exceptional experience and professional expertise scattered across various regions into unified, reusable organizational assets is likewise an inevitable choice for global management.
The establishment of the Global Supply Chain Center is a key initiative under this line of thinking – starting with the supply chain system to create a "model unit" for a modern global operating platform, and redefining the relationship between headquarters and global business frontlines.
Precise Problem-Solving: Focusing on Three Core Value-Creation Areas The newly established Global Supply Chain Center has clear objectives, directly targeting common operational bottlenecks faced by globalized enterprises: Leveraging Scale Advantages. By integrating the common needs of various global operating units, it aims to achieve centralized sourcing and strategic procurement, transforming fragmented bargaining power into strategic cost advantages at the group level. Elevating Professional Value. By forming specialized teams, it allows experts to be freed from routine tasks to focus on market analysis, strategic category management, and forward-looking research, promoting the transformation of individual expertise into systematic, transferable organizational capabilities. Integrating the Data Flow. It is committed to building an end-to-end digital supply chain management system, breaking down data silos, achieving full-chain transparency from demand to delivery, enabling data-driven decision-making, and enhancing overall operational resilience and response speed.
"Platform building is not simply about centralizing authority, but about providing more professional and efficient support services to the business units through capability building," stated Peng Xuhui, President and CEO of CMOC. He expressed that the essence of platformization is the "embedding of capabilities and the elevation of services," with the ultimate goal being to provide stronger empowerment for the business frontlines. This requires the global supply chain team to fundamentally shift its role from traditional management and approval functions to that of a business partner providing excellent service and co-creating value.
Exemplary Launch: Creating a Replicable Model for Global Operational Excellence As the first company-level center established under the platformization strategy, the Global Supply Chain Center is also entrusted with a "pioneering" mission. Zhang Liqun, Vice President of CMOC and Head of the Global Supply Chain Center, stated, "The organizational goal of the Global Supply Chain Center is to become a value center with unique operational attributes capable of continuously creating value, aspiring to become a benchmark and model for the Group's platform-based organizational development."
CMOC will continue to be committed to promoting the transformation of its headquarters into a "center of professional expertise and a service platform," whose core task is to build standardized, modular management systems and tools. Meanwhile, the various global business units will act as "agile frontlines," focusing on core production operations and localized innovation, while efficiently utilizing the professional resources and services provided by the headquarters platform.
