How to combine lean management with informatization in manufacturing enterprises

1. Incorporate lean management ideas and establish system documents.

Draw lessons from the lean management system of advanced enterprises, establish lean management system documents suitable for the management mode of this enterprise, guide enterprises to standardize and optimize business processes in the manufacturing field through information systems, and give full play to the supporting and promoting role of information technology in manufacturing business. Establish a system document as a guiding document to carry out this work, implement centralized control, supervision and assessment for all departments of the enterprise, avoid the blindness of the work of all departments without unified guidance, make lean management work have laws to follow and rules to follow, and form a joint force of coordinated operations. So that the implementation of lean information management can meet the requirements of centralization, systematization, pertinence and specialization.

2. Establish a stable and sustainable information organization.

Informatization is a highly professional job, and a perfect organization must be established within the enterprise. Standardize and improve the functions of information management departments from the perspectives of management and professional fields respectively; Establish a safety information system, promote and implement the team building plan of the team and the safeguard measures of the members' career planning; Implement the information construction project management system; Maintain the improvement plan of online module project; For the software to be implemented in the future, adopt the standard project management promotion method, make full use of the lean management experience already implemented by enterprises, and strive to build an information lean management system.

3. Pay attention to personnel training.

At present, the lean management and information work of many enterprises are separated, and the corresponding talents are also separated, which requires enterprises to cultivate backbones who understand both lean management and information technology, and promote lean information management through compound talents. It is very important to train and bring up a group of stable lean management experts, otherwise, there will be an unfavorable situation of brain drain and weak execution, and the requirements of continuous improvement of lean management and information implementation will not be realized. First of all, we should strengthen the study of lean management knowledge of employees. Only by learning to change consciousness, accept lean thinking, receive professional training and work on the basis of unified consciousness can informatization and lean be better combined.

4. Information system integration

Now there is a wrong understanding that "informatization = =ERP". Many manufacturing enterprises believe that information management is completed as long as ERP is implemented, which is a narrow understanding. Manufacturing enterprises mainly involve enterprise resource planning, logistics system, manufacturing execution system, financial system, quality system and so on. These systems are interrelated in nature, and there are a lot of business and data associations between them. Whether these systems can be effectively integrated directly affects the management level and work efficiency of enterprises, and also embodies the idea of lean management to eliminate all waste and realize resource sharing. Enterprises should integrate existing systems instead of repeatedly investing in software, resulting in a waste of funds and data.

5, with the help of social resources, learning benchmarking enterprises.

Both lean management and informatization need strong professional knowledge. Enterprises in the implementation of this work, you can invite professional teams (such as Tian Jian Consulting Company) to conduct research and focus on counseling, and take the road of combining lean management with informatization. At the same time, I will use the advanced management methods and best practices of industry benchmark enterprises for my use. Don't stand still, really understand its essence and master its essence.

6, the implementation of office automation management

Now is the era of electronic commerce, and it is an inevitable trend for enterprises to use office automation in enterprise management. Office automation uses computer network to solidify the relevant management processes of enterprises in the system, which can greatly improve the efficiency of employees' business execution, reduce the workload of employees and realize paperless office. This undoubtedly embodies the idea of lean management to eliminate all waste and continuous improvement.

7. Provide financial guarantee

Lean management has a slogan: "There is no best, only better", and lean means continuous improvement. In the application of information system, in order to improve work efficiency, we will constantly upgrade the network, improve server performance, expand capacity, optimize and upgrade the system, and provide technical support and professional technical training from manufacturers. All of these require enterprises to provide sufficient financial guarantee to achieve.

Lean management and informatization are not contradictory, and both achieve the purpose of improving management and work efficiency through advanced management methods and technical means. Therefore, we should always combine lean management with informatization and make progress in exploration.
