Core Challenges Facing Manufacturing
In the era of global competition and smart manufacturing transformation, 95% of manufacturing enterprises face these critical pain points in production operations
Lack of Precision in Production Planning
Traditional production planning relies on experience without data support, resulting in poor accuracy. Unable to respond timely to market demand changes, frequently causing capacity surplus or shortage. Difficult to handle rush orders and urgent orders, severely impacting delivery commitments.
Outdated Quality Control Management
Quality inspection mainly relies on manual sampling with low efficiency and limited coverage. Quality data is scattered across systems, preventing effective quality analysis and early warning. Quality issues are discovered too late, leading to high rework costs.
Supply Chain Coordination Difficulties
Scattered supplier management with poor information transparency and low coordination efficiency. Procurement planning disconnected from production planning, causing both inventory backlog and material shortages. Inaccurate supplier delivery times affecting overall production rhythm and customer delivery.
Missing Equipment Efficiency Monitoring
Equipment status monitoring mainly relies on manual inspections, unable to monitor equipment health in real-time. Inadequate equipment failure warning mechanisms lead to massive downtime losses from unexpected failures. Equipment maintenance lacks scientific planning, keeping maintenance costs high.
Serious Data Silos Problems
Production, quality, logistics, and finance systems operate independently, preventing effective data integration. Lack of unified data analysis platform leaves management decisions without data support. Information transmission delays affect rapid response capabilities.
Improper Human Resource Allocation
Skilled talent shortage with high recruitment and training costs. Unscientific staff scheduling causes serious human resource waste. Uneven skill levels among front-line workers make standardized operations difficult to execute, affecting product quality consistency.
Pain Point Impact: Declining Manufacturing Competitiveness
Production Efficiency Loss
Operating Cost Increase
Customer Satisfaction Decline
Market Competitiveness Weakening
