Security manufacturing achievements brilliant lean production to achieve the goal

When it comes to making in China, people’s first impression is low-end. For quite a long period of time, the positioning of China's manufacturing industry is that of assembly factories in the world, OEM for foreign brands, and earning a low processing fee to earn a living.

China's security manufacturing industry has also experienced such a development process.

The reason why China's manufacturing has achieved such brilliant achievements for 30 years is that the main point is based on the low labor cost and material cost in China. With the rising prices of various raw materials and rising labor costs, China's manufacturing industry is facing serious challenges. The solution to this problem is that in addition to the enterprises themselves needing to be involved in the high-end of the industry chain, strengthening their independent intellectual property rights, and increasing the added value of their products, another solution is to increase labor efficiency and reduce costs to meet the needs of the market and customers, which is an important part of achieving this goal. The method is to implement the lean production model.

Lean Production Background China's security manufacturing industry has evolved from a workshop-style production to an assembly line mass production and further to lean production. Each change has a profound market background.

Before 2000, the market demand for security products still remained in the era of “quantity”. The orders received by enterprises were relatively single, and the pipeline operations showed strong advantages for the production of a large number of single products. With the development of social economy, the demand of society for industrial products has changed from the demand for simple satisfaction to the diversified demand. The market has increasingly more categories for security products; at the same time, socialism is prevalent and customers are pursuing individuality. The products of diversification and diversification have become the main demand direction of industrial products, and the line production mode is often incapable of handling large numbers of small orders.

The change in market demand led to a significant drop in production volume, and at the same time increased inventory, waste of raw materials, and untimely product delivery, which seriously affected customer satisfaction.

In order to save costs, improve labor efficiency, ensure product quality, improve product delivery and timely rate, lean production began to enter security manufacturing companies.

From pipeline production to lean production, many security manufacturing companies are faced with such problems - small quantities, small orders, unstable orders, relatively tight delivery schedules, and large changes in production volume. These factors have caused security production companies to suffer Great difficulty. For the security manufacturing industry, one of the major issues is how to produce a wide range of high-quality products at low cost. To achieve this, traditional high-volume production lines are unlikely to achieve this goal.

In the face of this situation, the production of lean units began to move toward the stage. Unit production is an evolutionary process based on assembly line production. It is a concrete expression of lean production. Different from the general linear or horizontal line assembly line, the unit production system does not have a fixed form. The mechanical line can be changed at any time depending on the actual production needs and the complexity of the product. Comparing with traditional production methods, the unit production method has at least a 20% increase in productivity, and the overall production cost has also dropped significantly.

According to the characteristics of a small number of enterprises, Long has been trying hard to promote unit production in the past two years in order to improve work efficiency through the transformation of production methods.

As far as Horn's experience is concerned, lean production has a significant impact on improving the internal process efficiency, improving feedback on customer feedback, and shortening the process time from customer demand to realization. These levels are also the security manufacturing industry. One of the prerequisites for continuously expanding market share.
