The era of lean manufacturing in China's manufacturing industry is coming (2)

Therefore, to build a lean R&D platform, new technical systems and new technical means are needed to support product R&D, so as to effectively promote product innovation, increase product technology added value, and significantly increase profits.

Therefore, the next task of manufacturing informationization should focus on improving product development efficiency and achieving continuous innovation and continuous innovation. That is: let R&D not only achieve efficiency leadership, but also lead the technology. We can understand concisely: Lean R&D can balance the efficiency and added value of technology harmoniously, so that the technological innovation of the enterprise can be done well and fast!

Fourth, lean research and development, water and water
1. Quality management is getting deeper and deeper
As mentioned above, the products of the national defense industry have characteristics such as high complexity, high technical content, long development cycle, and many tasks to be achieved. In particular, there are high requirements for various indicators such as project quality and product quality. Therefore, the traditional quality management focusing on “some quality of results” and “a certain process quality” has been unable to meet the needs of complex product development. Systematic quality design and three-dimensional quality management have begun to enter the enterprise R&D process, replacing the traditional quality management model of the past.

The ultimate goal of modern quality management is "customer satisfaction" and model products are foolproof, and incorporate advanced technologies such as 6-Sigma, BSC, and 3D quality management. Its characteristics are:

Focus not only on “points” (quality of a certain result), but also on “line” (quality of the whole process), “face” (multiple process quality) and “body” (finance, customer, internal business process, learning and growth) The integrated three-dimensional quality) systematically guarantees the function and performance indicators of the product or model.

2. Innovative methods are improving day by day
Complex product development is inseparable from technological innovation. The traditional methods of technological innovation are mainly "trial and error" and "brainstorming". Too much reliance on expert mental experience and lack of methodological guidance. Therefore, traditional technological innovation methods cannot support the development and pre-research of modern complex products.

In 1946, the former Soviet inventor Genrich Achille Schuler discovered and summed up the "inventive problem solving theory" - TRIZ, which laid the theoretical foundation for modern technological innovation.

Since the mid-1990s, TRIZ has spread globally and has been combined with information technology such as knowledge management, value engineering, computer technology, and software technology, which has revolutionized innovative methods and tools. Computer-aided innovation (CAI) technology has greatly reduced the threshold for TRIZ learning and has become a technological innovation tool that allows designers to quickly and proficiently master. CAI provides an effective technical means for companies from imitation design to innovative design.

3. Co-simulation is becoming more and more popular
Generalized simulations include CAD, CAM, CAE, CAT, and more. The narrow sense of the simulation refers to the finite element analysis tool represented by CAE. The simulation is verified from a single subject, single parameter, after use or after development, without coordination or group collaboration, and gradually developed into digital prototype simulation for complex product engineering and research and development, for enterprise-wide collaboration, multidisciplinary, and more Modern co-simulation technology featuring parameters, multi-field coupling, and high performance computing.

Co-simulation technology has evolved into the era of any important project. Taking the national major project of the “big aircraft” as an example, experts predict to break through 10 key technologies, at least 9 of which cannot be separated from the support of co-simulation technology. The importance of simulation technology is evident.

The information technology solutions of the above three core technologies have been formed, and commercialized software has been available in China. Integration and integration will enable lean development to be done on a technical level.

V. The "China Definition" Era of Manufacturing Informatization
Informatization, as an "imported product", whether it is software, hardware or network, has always been a definition of foreigners, in the introduction of solutions, in the development of game rules. China's manufacturing informationization is generally focused on applications and low-end software development.

Lean R&D may be an exception. The concept of lean R&D is rarely mentioned at the international level, and no one has conducted in-depth research and precise definition. No one has developed a detailed development plan for this. All of this will be completely changed in 2008.

In fact, in the process of “Made in China” and “Created in China”, major changes have taken place in the field of China's manufacturing informationization. Not only do "Made in China" products need to increase their gold content, but "Made in China" software also needs to increase the amount of gold. China's manufacturing informatization must develop in the direction of deepening application, improving the level, and supporting lean R&D.

The quality and brand promotion of China's manufacturing information software has been brewing for many years. The three core technologies (computer-aided innovation, collaborative simulation, and three-dimensional quality design and management) required for lean research and development have been formed in China. Some forward-thinking Chinese software companies have recognized the close relationship between “Made in China” and lean R&D in manufacturing. They have begun to think about the Chinese characteristics of manufacturing informatization, and have begun to develop software for lean development platforms. Development planning.

History has given the opportunity to China. The rules of the game for lean development will be developed by the Chinese. The era of "into definition" of manufacturing informationization has arrived. The birth of lean R&D solutions will be a new milestone in the development of information technology in manufacturing.
