Hello everyone, this is the sixth issue of our special topic on the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises. In this issue, we will introduce the digital operation scenarios in the four digital transformation scenarios.
The efficiency of value creation and the benefits generated by an enterprise depend to a large extent on whether the cyclical daily operations of functional departments are efficient. In the real operation scenarios of enterprises, the flow of information often cannot outpace the flow of reality. The flow speed of the physical object depends on the speed of the means of transportation, and the flow speed of the information flow is theoretically equal to the speed of light, so why can't the information flow outperform the physical flow? In the actual operation of the business, due to the transfer of property rights and the division of responsibilities and rights, various documents, orders, logistics documents, and acceptance documents need to be signed for physical objects. Moreover, these documents need to be reviewed and approved by personnel before they are entered into the information system. These lengthy processes are an important factor leading to the lag of information flow.
It is one of the important goals of digital transformation to realize the matching of physical flow, information flow and capital flow, eliminate high energy consumption points, and improve operation efficiency . Focusing on the procurement supply chain scenario, it is recommended to first identify the high energy consumption points in the business process, and then conduct a comprehensive digitization of "people-warehouse-cargo-vehicle-ship-order", realize automatic processing of deterministic business, provide data to assist decision-making in uncertain business, and continuously improve the level of automation and intelligence of business operations.
- IoT technology can be used to realize the digitization of "people-warehouse-cargo-vehicle-ship-order", combined with the GIS map system, to achieve visualization based on location positioning.
- Technologies such as AGV and RPA can be used to automate deterministic tasks. Through digital twin technology, scene simulation modeling is carried out, and uncertain scenes are simulated and verified to find the optimal solution and provide auxiliary decision-making.
The construction of basic data and its full sharing within the enterprise make each operation link of the enterprise change from the previous linear and serial chain structure to a networked interconnection structure. And when each operation link obtains "data freedom", it can be based on these data, superimposed digital technologies such as big data, AI and IoT, to realize intelligent data analysis, intelligent business decision-making and automatic execution.
Enterprises' pursuit of digitalization lies not only in the automation and intelligence of business, but also in the ability to redesign the operation mode and reconstruct the business process in an innovative way. Serial operations are transformed into parallel operations, and linear multi-point cross-communication is transformed into status visualization and direct instructions based on data sharing. To obtain new competitive advantages through business model reconstruction, it is necessary to integrate the data, functions and operation interfaces of various operating systems based on the operation scenarios of front-line personnel, and build a one-stop digital operation platform.
