Significance of implementing lean production in enterprises

This paper discusses the significance of implementing lean production in enterprises from four angles.

1, now is the era of information explosion, which determines that customers are increasingly highlighting two characteristics in product demand, personalization and diversification, which are manifested in orders, that is, multi-variety and small batch, even multi-variety and small batch, and changes frequently, and orders are more urgent. Faced with such an external market environment, the traditional push-and-forecast mass production model has become inadequate and inefficient, and the change of orders often leads to losses; Lean production mode, in order delivery, procurement and warehousing, equipment and process logic, production reform methods, personnel use and so on. A complete operation system has been created, and the necessary things are only produced and transported with the least amount when necessary, which is a production organization mode corresponding to multi-variety and small batch production. Looking around the world, it is the most advanced production mode corresponding to the market environment in the information age, and there is no better way to iterate for a long time. This is the significance of implementing lean production in the external environment.

2. From the perspective of internal efficiency, the period that can be developed by relying on external growth has passed, and enterprises have generally entered a period of connotative development. Life can't be as it used to be. If we continue to operate extensively, the enterprise will be gone. We should improve efficiency. It's not the time when radish doesn't wash mud, but the time when efficiency is needed. We searched for experience all over the world and found lean production, which is a set of methods to greatly improve efficiency and reduce costs through fluid agile operation. Now that enterprises are engaged in transformation and upgrading, what type will they upgrade to? Generally speaking, it is what everyone said to turn to advanced manufacturing. What does advanced manufacturing include? Although there are many explanations, they are not uniform, but the main lines of several general directions are outlined, that is, automation, informationization and intelligence. These requirements are the requirements of new technology, quality upgrading and the choice after the increase of labor cost in social progress. However, what is the soul that guides automation, informationization and intelligence? It is lean! Smart and handsome, automation, informationization and intelligence are the key points. Since this is the relationship, in the era of automation, informationization and intelligence, and in the new manufacturing era of the Internet of Everything, lean production is the core enterprise operation benchmark system.

3. The content of lean production mode is expressed in the simplest way: lean production mode = engineering technology+scientific management! In other words, half of lean production methods are management technology in terms of content composition. What is management technology? Management technology is the mother of inherent technology. The most incisive performance of technology is high-end equipment, which is also where our country relies heavily on developed countries. So, how did the high-end equipment with high added value and high technology come from? From the original point of view, it is to use mechanical/instrument/electronic and other technical means to remember and precipitate management experience. Therefore, management technology is the soil from which the inherent technology is produced. Whether you want to admit it or not, no matter how many enterprises are only willing to take shortcuts to buy other people's ready-made equipment, this is the law of industrial development. When our industrial level is getting higher and higher, this law will become clearer. Therefore, for enterprises seeking long-term development and accumulating inherent technology, they must attach importance to management technology, and the best management technology system in the world today is lean production. It is of great significance for enterprises to precipitate high value-added technologies to continuously and deeply promote lean production.

4. Sort out the lean production mode from the perspective of fundamental attributes. Lean production belongs to people, and the organization mode of production is ultimately the organization mode of people. Lean production is a method of materials and tools, but it is fundamentally a systematic and brand-new concept, which is different from the previous concepts of quality, cost, efficiency and talents. Since it is an opinion, an idea and a way of thinking, it is not a thing. Things can't think, but they must belong to people. The essence of implementing lean production in enterprises is to systematically train enterprise personnel and shape and precipitate new thinking by manufacturing and promoting new actions. No matter when it develops, no matter how high the degree of automation is, no matter how many people there are, the core of an organization like an enterprise is always people. The development of enterprises is always based on human progress. This is very clear, and the fundamental significance of promoting lean production in enterprise management is self-evident. This work begins and ends, as long as the enterprise exists, it will continue.
