Upgrading Nike China Logistics Center: Renewable Energy And Advanced System

In January 10, 2019, the opening ceremony of the three phase of Nike China logistics center was held in Taicang high tech Zone, Jiangsu province.

Vice mayor of Suzhou Yang Zhiping, Secretary of Shenyang Taicang Municipal Committee, mayor of Taicang mayor Wang Jianguo, vice president of Nike global, Dong Wei, general manager of Greater China, Keith Lambert, vice president of Nike global operations logistics, and Shi Jichun, vice president of operation and logistics of Nike Greater China, attended the ceremony.

As the first large-scale park expansion project of Nike China logistics center, the three phase extended the construction area of logistics center to 30% to 260 thousand square meters, which greatly improved the cargo handling capacity of logistics centers and provided assistance for the promotion of all channels (distributors, self operated and online platforms).

The completion of the three phase is an important milestone in the optimization of Nike's logistics network in China. It helps Nike further enhance its supply chain capabilities and operational efficiency in Greater China, serve more consumers, and further enhance Nike's influence in China.

Dong Wei, general manager of Nike global vice president and greater China, said: "the completion and operation of the three phase of China's logistics center is another important milestone for Nike's development in China. It is also another vote of confidence for China's future economic development and Taicang's investment environment.

While Nike is vigorously exploring digital driven sports retail innovation, green supply chain and personalized service, the three phase will help Nike better serve the Chinese consumers, and will also make greater contributions to the development of Taicang's material and trade economy.

Nike has long believed that sustainable development plays a vital role in integrating sustainable development into the company's corporate strategy, thereby stimulating creativity and innovation.

The three phase extended Nike's long-term strategy of "sustainable innovation as a powerful engine for growth and promoting pformation". In the design process, it actively adopted innovative green technology and integrated into the concept of sustainable development, which maximized the carbon emissions and environmental impacts of the supply chain from the operation of logistics centers and the pportation of products, such as increasing the use of clean energy in the logistics center and pportation, energy saving design in daily operation, green packaging and waste recycling.

Taicang municipal Party committee secretary Shen Shen said that today's opening of the three phase of the logistics center is an important move for Nike to expand its capacity and increase efficiency and raise the order level of all channels under the online and offline channels. It marks a new stage in the development of Nike in Taicang, and will certainly add new impetus to the development of Taicang's economy.

Vice mayor Yang Zhiping of Suzhou believes that Nike's efforts in technological innovation, green environmental protection and sustainable development are in line with our city's key points in recent years, focusing on the key links of technological innovation, strengthening the integration of resources and enhancing the contribution of science and technology, providing reference and standards for the construction of large distribution centers in a more efficient and sustainable way.

"At present, Nike has built up a wide range of logistics networks worldwide.

In China, we also maintain the demands and commitments that are close to consumers, and build different levels of logistics nodes at different levels.

Our efforts will not stop there. "

Keith Lambert, vice president of Nike global logistics, said: "looking to the future, Nike will continue to enhance the overall logistics network operation efficiency, meet the needs of consumers with diversified and innovative changes, and continue to move towards a reliable, efficient, fast and flexible target with a sustainable development mode."

In order to better meet the market's future needs and its own development needs, Nike formally launched the expansion project of China's logistics center in May 2017.

In the stages of warehouse design, plan execution and risk management, the three phase project group, based on the successful operation experience of Nike China logistics center, adopts the world's leading supply chain equipment and systems to provide guarantee for stable operation, starting from the links such as receiving, processing, storage, delivery and so on, and comprehensively improves the capability of supply chain.

After the three phase is put into use, the warehouses no longer store goods separately from each other, but are more integrated in the allocation of inventory resources, which can make full use of the existing storage area and enable Nike to have faster logistics turnover capability.

At the same time, automated inventory retrieval system and more localized warehouse management system help Nike actively respond to challenges from multiple channels to meet the fast growing and changing consumer demand of consumers.
