The necessity of lean production and management in sheet metal industry

There is such a saying in enterprise management , As the number of enterprises increases , The operation and management of enterprises can no longer be artificially manipulated , Instead, it needs to be managed with standards and processes . However , Many sheet metal enterprises are developed from workshop production , In order to undertake orders , However, due to the lack of management foundation and excellent management talents , There is still a big gap from the modern advanced sheet metal production management , We can't follow the normal “ standard ― technological process ― system ” Way to produce and manage .

therefore , There are still some backward management phenomena in domestic sheet metal enterprises . And these backward management phenomena in the process of enterprise management , It is bound to lead to many adverse consequences . Only lean production and management , Sheet metal enterprises can develop better and further .

One 、 Current management situation of sheet metal industry

1. Lack of advanced management process and corresponding management system .

A lot of management work is still based on “ Rule of man ” The main way , Many senior managers have weak theoretical knowledge , But I can't listen to the opinions of relevant personnel , Only know to adopt “ High pressure ” How it works .

2. Backward engineering technology management , Do things by experience only .

The problems faced by managers are limited to “ Know what happened ”, And can't do it “ Know why ”, Once you encounter new problems , I can't help it .

3. Poor production process control .

Enterprise total quality control （TQC） The control ability of is weak , Make late delivery 、 Scrap 、 The return phenomenon is serious .

4. Lack of quantification 、 Self-improvement management mechanism and management tools .

Managers judge only by their feelings , Or the problem is found when the customer is dissatisfied , Lack of self-improvement ability .

5. Do not pay attention to equipment 、 Mold and tooling maintenance .

6. Lack of risk management awareness .

The manager insists on taking orders , Do not consider the customer's requirements for product accuracy , Ignore the processing accuracy of enterprise equipment and the actual production capacity such as the labor intensity of employees .

7. The management foundation of the team leader and on-site supervisor is weak , And lack of necessary training system and mechanism .

8. Personnel instability , Staff turnover is serious .

The lack of management in enterprises has seriously affected the production process and the advantages and disadvantages of production management , From cost 、 Efficiency and management are three dimensions , It has the following defects ：

1.  On cost , Due to manual 、 High electricity charges 、 Large loss of raw materials 、 There are many defective products , Resulting in low equipment utilization ; Frequent equipment or mold failures , As a result, the production plan cannot be completed on schedule ; Often out of stock leads to customer dissatisfaction , Or excess production leads to inventory backlog and waste .

2.  Efficiency , Managers lack awareness of whether the work of the parties is in place , In the face of constantly emerging problems , Can only be tired of running , Fall into a chaotic processing state , As a result, the work standards of employees cannot be quantified , Personnel responsibilities are not clear , Lack of inspection and supervision mechanism .

3.  Management , For many complicated management data , Business managers cannot directly obtain , And if you spend a lot of manpower to statistical analysis , The data obtained are often inaccurate . The quality of employees has not been improved , Personnel mobility also affects normal production .

Two 、 The benefits of lean production management

Now the market competition of sheet metal enterprises has become white hot , The market price is decreasing year by year , But the manufacturing cost is increasing , The profit margin of enterprises has become smaller and smaller , How to remain invincible in this fierce competitive environment , Only ask for profits internally , Naturally, we all think of lean production and management , It is also an important way for many enterprises to break through bottlenecks .

Sheet metal enterprises can implement lean production by introducing automatic equipment instead of manual operation , Lean production in this way ,  For example, andafa APS Advanced scheduling system , Andafa APS It is an advanced planning and scheduling software system based on supply chain constraint theory . It considers the constraints of multiple limited capacity resources simultaneously , According to various preset rules , Through very complex intelligent mathematical algorithms , Repeat the simulation 、 Probe 、 Optimize 、 Calculation , Finally, a relatively optimal detailed plan is given . Andafa APS Main solution ： Customer order delivery evaluation and reply 、 Low efficiency of manual production scheduling 、 Low utilization of equipment resources 、 The material plan is out of line with the production plan 、 The implementation rate of production plan is low 、 Inventory backlog and production shortage and other related problems .

Implement lean production management reform , To minimize the risk , When deciding to carry out lean production management reform , The staff and managers have ideology 、 Unity of determination is necessary . If this unity cannot be achieved , Lean production management reform , That's a waste of time . Again , In the process of execution , If we can clarify the effect of all implementation 、 quantitative , And integrate it into the performance appraisal of the reform year , Will reap good benefits .
