Continuous Improvement and Digital Innovation

In December, Swire Coca-Cola China hosted the 2024 Supply Chain Best Practices and Continuous Improvement (BP&CI) Conference and Digital Innovation Competition in Hefei, Anhui. This annual event was jointly organised by our Supply Chain and Digital & Information Technology departments to foster innovation and continuous improvement within the company through knowledge sharing and a digital innovation contest.
 

This year's conference featured exhibition booths highlighting the latest developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and trends in its application across the industry, encouraging employees to explore AI tools for enhanced decision-making and operational efficiency.

A key highlight of the event was the impressive submission of 880 supply chain improvement proposals, over 200 digital innovation projects, and more than 90,000 creative ideas from employees across 13 bottling plants in the Chinese Mainland. These proposals addressed key business areas, including: customer service, logistics, talent development, and financial management.

The event also facilitated the replication of best practices across plants and regions, reflecting our management philosophy of "Learn from the best until we become the best". By embedding continuous learning and improvement into our corporate culture, we hope to enhance our supply chain's flexibility and reliability, boost productivity, and leverage innovative technologies to drive business growth.
