Analysis And Improvement On Production Logistic System Of SPARK Machine Tool Co., Ltd

As the globalization and development of manufacturing technology, the fierce competition put the manufacturing industry in a more challenging position. Under the new environment, the production logistic system improvement, cost reduction and thus the firm strength advancement becomes one of the most effective ways for the manufacturing firms to capturing the targeted market and achieving the strategic goal to meet the challenge.The paper is aiming at the phenomenon of production logistic management in Tianshui SPARK Machine Tool Co., Ltd. The company is of scattered production model in small batch, multiple-type and orders-driven.This article analyzed the company's present situation of production logistic system, and combined with advanced production logistic theory, the problem which affect the company's production logistic normal operation were identified, and the reason which lead to these problems were analyzed. On the whole, the problems were listed as follows:lack of professionalized production logistic management organization, irrational production logistic planning layout, unreasonable production material storage, inefficiency production material carry and less developed production logistic management informationization. Based on these, improvement actions were planned in the light of these problems. First, the special production logistic management center and corresponding job description were set up. Second, according to the company's manufacturing characteristic, improved production logistic process and production planning layout were designed. Third, advanced production material storage equipment and haulage equipment were introduced to improve operational efficiency. At last, the company's IT programs of production management system were planned, they are CAD system, CAPP system, PDM system, ERP system and MES system. The company can implement these programs gradually. At the end, the paper give some advice about how to implementation improved production logistic management solutions from reinforcing basic management, bringing in JIT manufacturing type, logistic employee training and organization structure recombination. The improved production logistic management solutions are not only of practical significance to Tianshui SPARK Machine Tool Co. Ltd, but also of a mirror to the other enterprises.
