Forgings refer to metal parts processed by forging process, which are widely used in automotive, aerospace, machinery manufacturing and other fields. In the supply chain, the price of forgings is an important consideration, and its position in the supply chain is mainly affected by the following aspects: Raw material price: Raw materials of forgings are usually metal materials, such as steel, aluminum, etc. Fluctuations in raw material prices directly affect the cost and price of forgings. The supply and demand of the raw material market in the supply chain, price changes and material quality will have an important impact on the price of forgings. Forging process and equipment: The forging process requires specialized forging equipment and process technical support. The advanced forging process and equipment in the supply chain, efficiency and quality control capabilities will have an impact on the price of forgings. More advanced forging processes and equipment can often improve productivity and quality, but can also lead to higher costs. Links in the supply chain: The supply chain of forgings involves raw material procurement, forging processing, surface treatment, inspection and other links. The production efficiency, quality control ability, labor cost and other factors of each link will have a direct impact on the price of forgings. The more links in the supply chain, the higher the cost is likely to be. Market competition: In the supply chain, the forgings market is highly competitive, and the price competition between suppliers will also affect the price of forgings. The supplier’s scale, technical strength, market share and other factors will affect the price positioning and competitive advantage of forgings to a certain extent. To sum up, forging prices play an important role in the supply chain. The position in the supply chain depends on the price of raw materials, forging process and equipment, supply chain links and market competition and other factors. Every link in the supply chain needs to be precisely calculated and considered to determine the final forgings price.
