This year has been an extraordinary year. The epidemic at the beginning of the year led to a sharp decline in automakers' sales compared to last year. Facing the golden harvest season, the harvest season for the automotive industry also quietly arrived. Automakers of major brands strive to emerge in the golden season.
In order to meet the needs of various customers, automakers built cars with various configurations. This measure has played a great role in customer satisfaction, but it has brought a great test to the planning and scheduling of automakers.
In general, in order to meet customer needs, the production plans of the various manufacturing workshops of the OEM are scheduled according to the order of the order. During the production scheduling process, it is found that the planned production plan cannot be implemented for various reasons. Factors affecting planned production schedule are:
1 The complete set of materials
planners cannot obtain real-time inventory information and logistics information during the production scheduling process, resulting in a lack of materials in the warehouse after the production plan is scheduled, which affects the execution of the plan.
2 Equipment Availability
The processing of the assembly line relies on the available equipment for support. The production planner always ignores the equipment availability during the scheduling process, which ultimately results in the production plan not being executed.
3 Logistics punctuality
This is a commonplace issue. Supplier management needs to be strengthened, including establishing an evaluation system for suppliers and instilling advanced management ideas in suppliers, screening high-quality suppliers, and eliminating suppliers that cannot keep up with the company’s pace and The required cottage factories ensure the smooth supply of materials.
4 The executive’s consciousness
includes departmentalism, buck-passing, failure to follow the process, lack of responsibility, underestimation of the delivery date, and irregular operations, which will eventually lead to double planning and execution.
5 Temporary orders
Temporary orders or orders for temporary changes are many, which brings many uncertainties to the scheduling of production and procurement.
In addition, inadequate on-site management, chaotic production sites, and unreasonable work centers and process routes will lead to unstable product quality, low production efficiency, and affect on-time delivery. Inadequate production process control, lack of review of key processes, incomplete testing and inspection procedures, and frequent rework of finished products, resulting in serious waste of working hours. Eventually, the plan after scheduling cannot be executed.
