Project Management Application Study On Machine Tools Pre-sales Support Project

The machine tools pre-sales support is coming out as with the mechanical manufacturing development, to meet the requirement of the high volume production with high quality in the market. The parts manufacturer only address the quality and production volume for the specified parts, then the rest of things is forwarded to the machine tools manufacturer such as the whole proposal of machining the part, including investment budget, machining operation, the quantities of machines and so on. After such a scheme proposal is accepted by the part manufacturer, the execution of the turn-key engineering will be done by the machine tools manufacturer. This kind of mode can high efficiently reduce the part manufacturer investment in the beginning of the project; meanwhile the professional proposal can benefit the part manufacturer. The machine tools pre-sales support is playing an important role in the mechanic manufacturing industry. At moment the study on the machine tools pre-sales support is not systematic, especially the study on the management of that is even less. Many machine tools manufacturer have many problems on the degree of advancement, quality and cost, it happens on some time with proposal forward in delay, unreasonable proposal, high cost. The target of this article is to emerge the management of machine tools pre-sales support project with the philosophy and theory of project management, to conduct the machine tools pre-sales support project with method of project management.This article combined with actual working experience gives mainly description of the following several items:1. The scheme and organization of the machine tools pre-sales support. The characteristic and life cycle of the machine tools pre-sales support are introduced; the importance of the need identification for machine tools pre-sales support is highlighted via description of the process of the need identification, the normal scheme flow of the machine tools pre-sales support is summarized. At last the proper organization in the machine tools pre-sales support is balanced-matrix-organization.2. Case study on the schedule control for the machine tools pre-sales support. Combined with the plan and control flow of Chery E3G10 crankshaft grinding proposal, the method of plan and progress control of the project management are applied to the machine tools pre-sales support. At last the project duration with minimum cost is optimized during the execution of the project via network plan.3. The quality control of the machine tools pre-sales support. The factor which have influence to the quality is analyzed, the quality control method– experimental design is introduced via optimization of the grinding proposal of Dongfeng plant 49, finally the systematic scheme flow for the quality guarantee of the machine tools pre-sales support is addressed.The plan and schedule in Chery E3G10 crankshaft grinding proposal introduced as a case in this article powerfully secure the degree of advancement of the actual project, the cost optimization analysis for this project offered reference for the final estimation of this project. The machining factor analysis for the Dongfeng plant 49 via the experimental design makes the proposal finally reach the project expectation.
