Misunderstanding of traditional plywood plant planning

★ myth 1: planning is a picture, which belittles the power of planning

Many decision makers of plywood factory simply believe that the planning of plywood factory is to draw a plane layout of equipment.

In fact, plywood production technology is a systematic project with distinctive industry characteristics. It involves many aspects of knowledge and experience. The construction of plywood factory is a systematic project. In addition to the product itself, it also involves a series of related fields and sub projects such as planning, construction, hydropower, fire protection, environmental construction, production equipment and production line, in plant transportation and logistics, labor safety, warehousing, production site management and so on, It is the comprehensive result of these contents. Moreover, due to the rapid development of the plywood industry, the update speed of its knowledge and experience is also very fast. Therefore, the production technology planning of a plywood enterprise often needs a team with various professional abilities to complete.

The intelligent planning of the whole plywood plant is generally divided into several stages. Each stage must have solid basic work, and each stage should generate a stage result report as the basis of the next stage. The report should involve basic data analysis, economic analysis, management analysis and production factor analysis, and the layout of the production line should be the inevitable result of these massive data analysis.

The intelligent planning of the whole plywood plant can not only make the production of plywood more efficient, but also effectively reduce the production cost of the factory, and help the enterprise establish a basic process management system to lay a foundation for the self-improvement of the enterprise.

★ Myth 2: there is no accurate strategic goal and one-sided pursuit of high and high

At present, many enterprises often require intelligent production technology, CNC equipment, robots and industrial 4.0. Some slightly large-scale plywood enterprises blindly purchase a large number of CNC equipment, robots and other tall equipment for plywood production, but they often do not adapt to the production reality of enterprises, resulting in idleness and waste.

At present, the manufacturing level and management foundation of most domestic plywood enterprises are relatively weak, and the basic framework of modern industrial production is not perfect. It is basically impossible to achieve industry 4.0 on this basis. For example, many plywood enterprises do not even have complete process drawings, nor do they have a process design team in the modern sense (most enterprises understand plywood process design as order splitting). Even if such a team is given a fairly automatic plywood factory, it will be difficult to operate, let alone industry 4.0.

At present, the numerical control equipment for plywood production, especially the numerical control equipment for plywood, can only complete the plywood production of some specific types and production characteristics, which is not omnipotent. And there are also high requirements for background maintenance and machine action program design.

The application of robots in the plywood industry also needs to be cautious. For specific plywood products and occasions, robots can play a role. For most production processes of plywood enterprises, robots can not replace human operations.

★ myth 3: without the participation of all staff, it cannot be recognized by front-line personnel

The contradiction between the high-level production personnel and the actual operation of enterprises is often caused by the contradiction between a few high-level production personnel and the actual operation of enterprises.

In fact, the end users of plywood production technology are front-line employees, who often have their own understanding and needs for production equipment. Therefore, the success of plywood production technology planning requires the participation of front-line employees. It is the product of continuous collision, negotiation and understanding of participants, and finally compromise with each other to achieve the relative balance of various elements. Only with the approval of front-line production personnel and management personnel can their achievements be transformed into actual production capacity.

In addition, modern plywood production technology is not only the responsibility of the manufacturing department, but also closely related to design and development, raw material supply and market sales. Their participation often has unexpected good results for the design of plywood production technology.

★ misunderstanding 4: lack of cost analysis

Most plywood enterprises do not pay attention to cost analysis in mechanical production technology planning, resulting in low economic benefits of the production system.

In fact, cost analysis should run through the whole design process. Cost analysis should cover equipment investment cost, manufacturing cost, use and maintenance cost and other financial risk avoidance. These cost analysis should play a decisive role in the decision-making of investors and have practical guiding significance for the operation of production system in the future.

★ myth 5: do not pay attention to the investment, development and utilization of software

Most plywood enterprises only focus on the investment of production equipment and other hardware, but do not pay attention to the investment and development of software, resulting in the processing of production information, which greatly restricts the exertion of production efficiency.

The so-called software here refers not only to product design software and financial software, but also to the analysis and application of various basic data and the development of production management software.

With the subdivision and customization of plywood market and the popularization of small batch and multi variety order production mode, the requirements for the refinement of production management are higher and higher. The traditional manual processing methods of production information have lagged behind the actual needs of manufacturing system in terms of accuracy and timeliness, and a lot of time is spent on the waiting caused by the transmission of manufacturing information, material identification and asynchronous manufacturing process. Therefore, we can often see a large number of semi-finished products piled up between various processes in the workshop or a large number of finished parts waiting for supporting packaging.

The normal intelligent planning of plywood factory attaches importance to the development and application of production management software. The production data are collected in time through bar code technology, and the application software is analyzed and managed, which can make the manufacturing process more accurate and efficient, so as to maximize the benefits of the production and manufacturing system.
