Advanced Manufacturing Technology In Dloco Effective Applied Research

At the threshold of the 21~ century, owing to the further progress of science and technology and the development of economy a global information network and marketplace has already come into being, hence the market competitions focusing on new product development are becoming more and more fierce. Because the improved technology and diverse customer demands increasingly shorten product lifecycle, manufacturing firms are confronted with challenges of shortening lead-time, improving product quality, reducing cost and ameliorating service. All of these oblige enterprises to react to varying marketplace quickly and to develop uninterruptedly customized ndividual product?to meet customer needs in order to occupy the market and achieve sustainable competitive advantages. As early as the 70s, scholars and managerialists all over the world had realized and set about investigating the influence of varying external competitive environment on firms?administrant pattern, successively presented many effective methods to enable firms to adapt to variation of competitive environment from the perspective of technology and organization. These technologies and theories analyzed and resolved enterprises?existing problems respectively from different points of view, provided enterprises with good means and tools to adapt to new market competitive circumstance. They are widely used through whole enterprises, especially in those famous international giants, which are all positive impellers of advanced manufacturing technologies and managing theory unexceptionally.Dalian Locomotive & Rolling Stock Works is a traditional manufacturing enterprise with a history of 100 years. How to utilize advanced manufacturing technologies, managing means, information technology to transform the enterprise is an imperative and cautious issue. The main objective of this article is not to propose some new manufacturing conception or theory, but to combine the holistic thought of rive traditional industries by means of information technology, realize economic leap development of our nation?with enterprises?practical conditions, to embody existing theories and concepts such as computer integrated manufacturing, agile manufacturing, mass customization, managing innovation and enterprises informationization, and to work over the effective application of advanced manufacturing technologies on Dalian Locomotive & Rolling Stock Works.
