How to effectively manage electronic assembly enterprises

As one of the high-tech manufacturing industries, electronic assembly industry has formed an industrial scale in the Greater Suzhou area with the general trend that the manufacturing departments of multinational enterprises move to China, and it is relatively perfect and mature in supporting facilities, logistics and resources. * * * On the basis of enjoying ideal industrial conditions, electronic manufacturing enterprises in Greater Suzhou pay more attention to how to improve manufacturing management capabilities and meet customer needs to the greatest extent. When it comes to improving the core competitiveness of manufacturing enterprises, we can look at it from four elements: customer service ability, production, quality and cost. Because electronic assembly enterprises have their own industry characteristics, they have their specific needs at each management point, and these parts can often create value if they are done well. On August 10, BenQ held a seminar on "Building Excellent Manufacturing Factory" in Wujiang, and the business managers attending the seminar had a heated discussion on how to improve manufacturing management ability through information technology. The confusion of electronic assembly enterprises For electronic assembly enterprises, especially OEM or OEM enterprises, the management problems encountered can be seen from four aspects: customer service ability, production, quality and cost. On the other hand, if these four points can be very successful, then the products and services provided by enterprises will be very competitive in the market. In terms of cost, manufacturing enterprises often hope to improve productivity, reduce rework and maintenance, and reduce worthless operations by further tapping production capacity, thus reducing working hours costs as a whole. Due to the short life cycle of electronic products and the high proportion of procurement costs, reducing workshop inventory, reducing raw materials sluggishness and even expense reporting will also be an important direction of cost management. Because many electronic manufacturing enterprises in Wujiang area are mainly OEM, how to improve customer satisfaction and ensure that enterprises get valuable orders is also the focus of managers' attention. Faced with strict customer audit requirements, how to ensure the traceability of product production and heavy work process, timely and correct response to customers, and the ability to evaluate and deal with manufacturing problems affecting customers are all headaches for enterprise managers every day. Obviously, doing these details well will be the basis for improving customer satisfaction. The continuous improvement of production process management and quality monitoring ability of electronic assembly enterprises has long been a quality that excellent manufacturing enterprises must have. How to effectively manage the change of manufacturing plan, monitor the work in process, adapt to the engineering change of new products, and realize the traceability and timely improvement of quality are the key points that manufacturing enterprises need to consider in production. In the electronic manufacturing industry, ensuring the stability of the production process and improving and upgrading key manufacturing capabilities are the management priorities of most manufacturing enterprises. Without effective methods and means, outdated technology and operation mode often restrict managers' innovation and upgrading ability, and finally limit the pace of enterprises moving towards excellent manufacturing. Solution-Building a Transparent Chemical Plant With the development of informationization in China, taking informationization as a part of enterprise strategy is no longer a hot spot of research, but a hot spot of application. For electronic assembly enterprises, the application of mes may be the first choice if they want to improve their production management ability on the basis of effective enterprise resource planning. The full name of MES is Manufacturing Execution System. MES, as an enterprise-level application system, mainly faces the production activity management of manufacturing enterprises and connects the production process from raw materials to finished products in the supply chain. As an information system, it can vertically connect the enterprise resource planning (erp) system and the bottom production control system (plc) to realize the interaction of information and data between the systems. For the electronic assembly manufacturing industry, the application of mes system to manage the whole production process and production events can enable enterprises to monitor the manufacturing process in real time and react quickly, curb worthless production activities, and then improve the finishing and manufacturing efficiency of the factory. According to the statistical data of mes International Federation (mesa) 1996, the application of mes can help enterprises shorten the manufacturing cycle, reduce or eliminate data input, reduce work in process (wip), reduce or eliminate paperwork between conversions, improve product quality and reduce defective products, and eliminate written work and blueprint work. Taking the application of mes advocated by BenQ in electronic assembly industry as an example, it is suggested that enterprises can start with the informatization of six key businesses and gradually build excellent transparent chemical plants. The six major manufacturing informatization focuses include data collection on the production site, production process control, electronic management of smt operations, construction of management report system, early warning and monitoring on the manufacturing site, and statistical process (flow) management. For example, in the field data collection, the key point of informatization can be to collect key materials, test results, test data, maintenance conditions, heavy industry conditions and other information in various ways for product traceability. In the informationization of production process control, through the construction of production model, we can control the abnormal situations such as ultra vires operation, feeding error and site input error in the production process. For the management of smt workshop, the key points of informatization can be concentrated on smt feeding error prevention, material shortage warning, material tracking, material inventory, steel plate solder paste feeder control, msd component control and so on. In terms of domestic practical application, AsiaInfo Electronics, founded in 1972, successfully implemented mes system in Suzhou factory in 2004. On the premise of enhancing corporate image and manufacturing management ability and completing qs9000 certification, AsiaInfo Electronics chose to apply BenQ's excellent manufacturing solution. Through the three-stage construction process of manufacturing capability system, quality monitoring system and factory execution early warning system, AsiaInfo Electronics has significantly improved both quantitative and non-quantitative benefit indicators. If the daily maintenance rate of each line is gradually reduced from 0.0 1630% before the introduction of the system to 0.00027%, it will directly contribute to the reduction of product manufacturing costs. After the application of the system, because most production and operation reports can be directly queried from the system, the geometric base of paper consumption is reduced, which not only saves money, but also contributes to the construction of green factories. In today's fierce competition in the industry, it will be a good choice for electronic assembly enterprises to enhance their core manufacturing capabilities to build transparent chemical plants through the application of mes system.
