Some Thoughts on Informatization Construction of Manufacturing Enterprises

[ Hot Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] The informatization construction of China's manufacturing enterprises is inspired by the "High-tech Research and Development Plan" (863 Plan), which includes seven fields such as information technology and automation technology, and establishes the theme of intelligent computer systems, information Acquire and process 15 key breakthrough projects including technology theme, communication technology theme, computer integrated manufacturing system theme, and intelligent robot theme; this is an important measure that has been fully demonstrated since China's reform and opening up to deal with the rapid development of high-tech in the world and the fierce international competition
.

 

After that, the relevant ministries, scientific research institutions, universities, and enterprises of the state have successively launched the research and application construction of basic information technology; , the state has promoted the strategic measures for the integration of informatization and industrialization
.

 

In May 2015, China released "Made in China 2025", which aims to implement five major projects, promote nine strategic tasks and break through ten key areas, and strive to become a manufacturing power within ten years.
A series of special planning and guiding opinions on computing, big data, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, etc.
; during the same period, China has successively organized international conferences and forums such as Digital China and China Internet Conference
.
Through strategic planning, policy orientation, conferences and forums, and other means, the country vigorously promotes the development of the manufacturing industry that represents the country's core competitiveness
.

 

In recent years, developed countries in Europe and the United States are also pushing for the return of manufacturing.
Especially since the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, economic development has gradually shifted to the real economy dominated by manufacturing.
The United States has launched the "Advanced Manufacturing Partnership Program", Germany "Industry 4.
0" has been launched, and developed countries such as Japan, the United Kingdom, and France have also successively launched manufacturing development strategies
.

 

As an important part of the real economy, the manufacturing industry is an important manifestation of the country's comprehensive national strength; enterprises are the carrier and concrete embodiment of the development of the manufacturing industry, and are the practitioners and beneficiaries of the country's strategy to strengthen the country in manufacturing; at the same time, the rapid development of information technology has It is deeply applied to the manufacturing industry.
Enterprises in various countries are strengthening the construction of informatization and developing towards intelligent manufacturing.
The development of China's manufacturing enterprises is faced with the pressure of sailing against the current and failing to advance or retreat
.
Therefore, the vigorous promotion of informatization construction by manufacturing enterprises under the new situation is the supporting means to enhance their core competitiveness
.

 

Informatization construction guiding ideology and ideas
 

The informatization construction of Chinese enterprises started early, especially in the aerospace, automobile, petroleum, electric power and other industries, and achieved good results.
Digital methods have been applied in business management, digital design methods, R&D platforms, process simulation, and digital processing.
; However, the informatization construction of enterprises generally has problems such as insufficient overall planning, unclear requirements, lack of close business integration, and insufficient participation of all employees, resulting in the lack of unified data standards for enterprises, poor data sharing, difficulty in platform integration, and "information silos".
Serious on-site and low level of application of the information platform
.
In addition, today is an era of deep integration of informatization and industrialization.
Enterprise informatization construction must have correct guiding ideology and work ideas, in order to promote informatization work pragmatically and efficiently
.

 

　　In terms of guiding ideology, enterprises must first seek truth from facts, follow the laws of informatization construction, find out the informatization construction and application level of their own units, adhere to the integration of informatization and business, and lay the foundation for follow-up work; A down-to-earth dialectical relationship requires long-term thinking, as well as the action of rushing to the ground.
The third is to earnestly understand the planning and guidance of the country, relevant ministries, and regions in informatization and related fields.
Opinions, such as Made in China 2025, artificial intelligence white paper, etc.
, seize the opportunity to improve the informatization capability of the unit; Fourth, collect the current situation and development direction of informatization construction in the field of the company, and adhere to data integration, efficiency priority and core capability improvement , adhere to "doing something and not doing something", and strive to realize "good steel is used on the cutting edge" of informatization construction; the fifth is to adhere to the top-ranking project and full participation of all staff to ensure the financial support, strong promotion and information of informatization projects.
application effectiveness
.

 

　　In terms of work ideas, the first is to conscientiously summarize the informatization work, find out the family background, recognize the current situation, evaluate the ability, and accurately analyze the shortcomings of the enterprise informatization construction; the second is demand traction, combined with the enterprise development strategy, to sort out the business needs clearly , through the integration of business and informatization to promote enterprise management reform, R&D innovation and manufacturing level improvement; the third is to improve the informatization project construction system, mechanism and supporting facilities, understand policies thoroughly, increase projects from governments at all levels, and strengthen cooperation with universities and scientific research.
The cooperation of institutions, with the help of external brains and multi-fund raising, promotes the construction of enterprise informatization
.

 

　　Key breakthroughs in informatization construction
 

　　2.
1 Data Standardization and Platform Integration
 

　　Information islands are a thorny problem that enterprises are currently facing.
Many enterprises' OA systems, human resource systems, material systems, planning systems, financial systems, R&D platforms, production management systems, product data systems, and contract management systems are like chimneys.
The data is difficult to share, the decision-making layer is difficult to quickly and accurately collect relevant business data through the application system, the business personnel often repeat work to provide data, and the instructions and data from the management to the R&D layer and the manufacturing layer are difficult to be delivered in time.
Timeliness and effectiveness are difficult to guarantee
.
Therefore, the information island is the short board and weak link of enterprise informatization construction.
The most urgent task of enterprise informatization construction is to carry out data standardization construction, organize the participation of various business departments, and establish a set of personnel, products, planning, finance, supply.
Enterprises including commercial, material, contract, R&D, and manufacturing enterprises unify data coding and master data systems, establish data and application system integration standards, transform application systems on this basis, eliminate application system barriers, and open up business management systems, R&D platforms, The business flow and data flow of the manufacturing platform realize the data sharing of enterprises and improve the efficiency of enterprises

2 Innovative R&D Platform
 

　　The product is the symbol of the vitality of the enterprise.
Improving the technological content, performance stability and after-sales service ability of the product is the guarantee for the development of the enterprise
.
Many companies have established product R&D platforms in the past, but their functions and performance cannot meet the development requirements
.
Product development in the new era should comprehensively consider such elements as intelligence collection, project demonstration, task issuance, multi-professional joint design, simulation analysis, test verification, after-sales service, knowledge utilization, and design outsourcing.
Innovate the R&D platform, and establish the R&D platform from the perspective of large integration, large platform, full process and full data
.

 

　　At the same time, enterprises can try to establish systems and mechanisms for design outsourcing, such as crowdsourcing and maker models, to shorten the product development cycle and improve design efficiency by outsourcing some design tasks
.
