Abstract

With the upgrading of consumption and the increasing uncertainty of the external environment, e-commerce platforms urgently need to build a supply chain system that is both efficient and resilient. For Chinese consumers, their needs have changed from simply "being able to buy" to "buying well and buying fast". "Same-day delivery" or even "one-hour delivery" is no longer an extra value-added service, but has become a key factor in platform competition. Based on JD.com, a representative Chinese e-commerce company that has built its own logistics system, this paper studies the evolution path of its e-commerce supply chain under the background of same-day delivery service and the effects it brings. This paper focuses on the integration path of the three paradigms of "lean, agile and resilient". Under the macro background of deepening reforms and strengthening the resilience of industrial and supply chains, exploring the applicability of this e-commerce supply chain evolution in China has important practical significance.
