I still remember the expectation of the SmartGener when SmartGen officially introduced the “Lean Consulting Project” for the first time at the beginning of 2011; Looking back in 2022, SmartGen has taken every step steadily and solidly from lean production to intelligent manufacturing.
Lean Production
For more than ten years, SmartGen has made unremitting efforts and continuous improvement, and has achieved a qualitative improvement in lean operation management. Especially in lean production, the production line layout and production process have been continuously optimized through value stream analysis. The product quality has been continuously improved, and the production efficiency and output value per unit area have also reached another record high through various lean management tools such as on-site 5S, 5M1E, Kanban management, JIT, TPM, TQM, a flow, a combination of push and pull.
Control cabinet production is a typical order production mode. In order to respond quickly to the delivery time, we continuously optimize the flexible production mode, and manage products, users, and suppliers by classification and itemization. Under the condition of the same staffing, we have adapted to the fluctuation of orders. The delivery time of land-based control cabinet has basically achieved T+2 and T+5.
Automation and Informatization
The production automation rate has always been a KPI that has attracted more attention in SmartGen. Over the past few years, various automatic production lines have been put into use. Among them, the self-developed unit-type assembly line, automatic test table, dry air tightness test table and other equipment have not only greatly improved the production efficiency, but also effectively controlled the test accuracy.
With the help of CRM, ERP, PLM, MES, ISP (self-developed by SmartGen), APS, supplier Andon and other information systems, the timeliness and transparency of the supply chain management have been improved; Using the data center to open up information flow and material flow, assist managers to make scientific and efficient decisions, and ensure high-standard delivery of orders.
In the future, SmartGen will continue to support flexible and intelligent manufacturing with automation and informatization, explore intelligent decision with big data, promote the company’s high-quality development pace, and create greater value for partners!
