Machinery and equipment industry development prospects and trends

Machinery industry is a typical discrete manufacturing industry, which is characterized by multiple varieties and small batch production; There are many kinds of products, complex products, many uncertain factors affecting the production process, often appear urgent orders, equipment failure and other situations, so that the production plan has changed; The manufacturing process is complicated and there are many uncertain factors in the production process. The empirical scheduling cannot guarantee the coordination of the whole production process, and the process control is difficult and the management is difficult.

Four characteristics of Mechanical Equipment Manufacturing industry

1. Produce according to customer requirements, product process is changed frequently, and production plan is changed frequently;

2. Multi-varieties, small batch production, production mode based on orders, supplemented by market prediction;

3, the production process is mainly machining, and then assemble each part, assembly is the key, processing equipment is numerous;

4. There are more semi-finished products and purchased parts, and they are frequently put into and out of the warehouse. The accuracy of BOM and inventory requirements is higher.

Three Management Difficulties in Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing Industry

Plan difficult to manage

The market competition is fierce, the personalized demand of products is increasing, and the delivery time required by customers is getting shorter and shorter;

The production plan is greatly affected by the market. The multi-variety and small-batch production mode leads to heavy planning management tasks, low planning accuracy and difficult market prediction.

Production is difficult to cooperate

The production mode of machinery manufacturing industry is mainly discrete, process as auxiliary, assembly as the focus. The production form of products is multi-variety, small batch, and there is a situation of inserting orders, which requires high coordination in the production process.

While R & D and production, there is a project manufacturing production mode. The frequent changes of product production directly affect the control of production costs, especially the production mode of project-based accounting cost. The accuracy of data directly affects the project cost and the profit of the enterprise.

Long production process and many quality control points make it difficult to find problems and defects in time, so the ability to control the production process and quality is directly related to the production efficiency and product quality.

Difficult to control on site

The product structure of the machinery and equipment industry is clear and clear, but the product configuration is complicated and the BOM level is multiple, which leads to the complex production order and the management of the on-site process.

The management of materials and logistics on the production site and the control of warehouse along the line are the key points. There are more semi-finished products and purchased parts, which require higher accuracy of inventory.

Raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products are frequently put in and out of storage, and the feeding and discharging of materials, as well as the prevention of stay and error are the key to improve production efficiency and product quality.

Two digital Demands of Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing Industry

Cooperation between production, supply and marketing

Mechanical equipment enterprises need to design, manufacture and deliver products on time according to market and customer demand. However, there are some problems in the production process, such as relatively dispersed production stations, unfixed process routes, random allocation of resources, etc., so it is very important to optimize the utilization and reasonable arrangement of resources. Factors such as market, supply chain, manufacturing site and customers should be fully considered to prepare scientific production plans. Meanwhile, in order to make better use of resources, timely feedback of production site information should be provided to support production decisions.
