1, introduction

With the expansion of the scale of manufacturing enterprises, it is very difficult for managers to directly manage the situation at the factory manufacturing site level, and report-based management inevitably has delays, errors and contradictions, and can not implement effective control.

At the same time, the competition of manufacturing industry is increasingly fierce. Rapid response, low cost and quality assurance are the competitive advantages of manufacturing industry. With the expansion of manufacturing scale, the previous manual management methods can not meet the needs of market competition. Manufacturing enterprises gradually feel the pressure of competition. How to achieve good and fast production and manufacturing is a problem that modern production enterprises must face.

How to make production more transparent and intelligent is a problem many manufacturing enterprises need to face. A vehicle manufacturer has encountered such problems. Through the introduction of MES system, project experts have successfully solved the important pain points in production.

2. Brief Introduction of Enterprise Market Background

China's first private automobile company listed on H-share in Hong Kong. The company has more than 20 holding subsidiaries with more than 18,000 employees. It currently has four vehicle production bases with a capacity of 400,000 vehicles in 2007. It has the ability of self-supporting of engine, front and rear axles and other core components.

3. Pain Points of Customers

The automobile company is a comprehensive production base with an annual output of 500,000 B, C class cars, high-end SUV, MPV and other models. The design capacity of the first phase project plant is 240,000 vehicles per year, and the fastest rhythm of the line body is 1 vehicle/60 seconds. At present, the automatic control equipment such as stamping workshop, welding workshop, painting workshop, assembly workshop AVI system, PMC, ANDON and auxiliary cutting, tightening, function testing, tire conveying system and hardware equipment of storage area (WBS/PBS) have met the needs of production links, but they are all within the enterprise. "Information Isolated Island", the use of workshop-level, the workshop can not achieve timely information sharing, more difficult for managers to view problems, analyze problems, solve problems.

4. Consulting needs

It is hoped that the automatic control equipment can be effectively used to collect information on the spot, and at the same time, it is convenient for workshop managers to provide information on the production site control and the implementation of the plan. At the same time, the project of manufacturing execution system runs through the whole production, manufacturing and logistics distribution process of the automobile factory, and feeds back the status of the production site in time. It can proofread the instruction data of production equipment and monitor the operation of each equipment. Finally, it can improve the production efficiency and management level, so as to meet the needs of flexible production of many varieties and small batches in the future.

5. Customer Value

In order to satisfy the production management of each workshop in the first phase of the plant, effectively utilize the information gathered by the automatic control equipment on the spot, and provide the workshop manager with the information of the control on the production site and the implementation of the plan, it is necessary to feedback the status of the production site in time through the project of the manufacturing execution system throughout the whole production, manufacturing and logistics distribution process of the automobile factory, at the same time, it is possible to proofread the data of the production equipment instructions and the information In order to improve production efficiency and management level, monitoring the operation of various equipment can meet the needs of flexible production of multi-varieties and small batches in the future.

The automobile factory has achieved 50% increase in single delivery rate, 22% reduction in inventory funds, 45% increase in one-off eligibility rate, 55% reduction in shutdown time and 40% reduction in recall cost. The production capacity of the automobile factory has been improved in an all-round way, and the production cost has been reduced.
