Research Of Cutting Tool Management Mode In Robert Company

With the fast development of economic globalization and technique innovation, the global manufacturing industry faces with anfractuous external circumstance. For example, science technology advances rapidly, the relationship between supply and demand has become complexity, product updated rapidly, there are more and more competitors etc. Therefore, many manufacturing industry enterprises are looking for new solutions to gain the competition advantage.The traditional manufacturing technology cannot adapt to the environment which is changed quickly. The advanced manufacturing technology, especially the computer technique and the information technique has been used widely in manufacturing industry. The global manufacturing industry faces with the challenge of production not only flexible but also high efficiency. Many kinds of CNC machines and flex lines have been used widely. The cutting tool efficiency, quality and management model will influence the cycle time and efficiency of these machines. The application and management mode of high speed and high efficiency cutting tool have a big impact for the manufacturing cost. Faced with the severity of market competition and the pressure to reduce the manufacturing cost, the traditional cutting tool management mode cannot meet the requirement of the enterprise development. It will force the entrepreneur to explore the new cutting tool management mode.This thesis uses the theory of core competence, takes the issue of tool management decision-making in Robert Company as a research item.
