1. Characteristics of the electrical appliance industry

1. Product production requires very high coordination and cooperation in production planning, material planning, etc;
2. There are many varieties and models of product parts and components, and procurement and assembly are relatively complex, with equal emphasis on self-production and collaborative production between enterprises;
3. There are many customers, and it is necessary to grasp the credit status of customers in a timely manner and improve the turnover rate of accounts receivable;
4. There are many types of products, small batches, frequent rework, time-consuming and labor-intensive cost accounting, and it is difficult to grasp the real cost;
5. Some main parts have a long delivery time, and they need to be purchased in advance or a certain inventory is maintained according to market forecasts;
6. Substitute materials are common, and they need to be fully considered when making material plans;
7. Customer needs are not easy to grasp, and management based on customer needs is difficult;
8. Product quality management is generally valued, and quality control requirements are high;
9. Products are upgraded rapidly, with short life cycles, frequent changes, and complex version control;
10. Product production tasks are heavy, and equipment maintenance management is complicated;
11. There are many types of spare parts for product production;
12. Terminal products have after-sales maintenance management requirements, and it is necessary to record and manage the serial number and maintenance records of the products, and to track the original production status according to the serial number.

2. Common management needs and existing problems in the industry

1. On-site production management is difficult;
due to frequent deliveries, long production cycles, and complex production processes, in order to meet customer needs and avoid material shortages in production plants, it is necessary to track on-site production progress at any time and balance the load capacity of production equipment. However, due to incomplete basic data, production progress cannot be fed back in a timely manner, requiring production managers to have rich management experience and a high degree of dependence on personnel, which brings management troubles to the company.
2. Increase the reuse rate of parts, improve product quality, and reduce hidden costs of products;
due to the particularity of the electrical industry, the demands for various parts of different products overlap, increasing the reuse rate of parts, improving product quality, and truly reducing hidden costs.
3. Improve departmental collaboration capabilities, respond quickly to customer needs, and improve order acquisition capabilities;
Generally speaking, the electrical industry has a wide variety of products and many departments, making communication and collaboration between them difficult. How to improve inter-departmental collaboration capabilities, respond quickly to customer needs, track and follow up on customer needs, and improve customer service quality to obtain more customer orders.
4. Effectively control changes and reduce design errors.
The electrical industry has a wide variety of products and customer needs are changing, which places relatively high demands on product design. Therefore, try to control design product changes while meeting customer needs. Each product change must be detailed and optimized according to customer needs to avoid designed products that do not meet market requirements and cause unnecessary losses.
5. Effectively control costs from the design stage;
from product design to production and then to sales, the design cost expenditure, R&D cost expenditure, production cost, and sales cost are constantly increasing. In the face of such fierce market competition, cost control has become a powerful guarantee for implementing a low-cost strategy and enhancing product market competitiveness, so as to truly achieve increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.
6. The quality management work is arduous.
Due to the complex production process, flexible process route and high requirements for product quality in the electrical industry, it is difficult to track and provide feedback on the input of raw materials and the number of completed products, qualified products, scrapped products, rework products and production quality between each production process under manual operation, so as to grasp the product quality status in a timely manner.
7. Outsourcing is not easy to manage.
The characteristics of the electrical industry dictate that there are many special processes that need to be outsourced, or when customers demand large quantities, some orders also need to be outsourced to relieve pressure. Traditional manual operation management is often unable to cope with such complex situations, resulting in increased difficulty in the work.
8. Realize rapid product configuration and shorten product delivery cycle;
the electrical industry has many product types and unstable demand, but fierce market competition requires quick response to supply requirements and timely delivery. …….Contact
