2010 Cotton Textile Enterprises Urgently Need Information Construction

Cotton textile enterprises have rich resources of manpower, capital, materials, equipment, production technology and so on. How to integrate all kinds of resources of enterprises with information technology and establish a set of effective management models that conform to the characteristics of modern enterprise management, so as to bring about essential changes to enterprise management, improve the traditional management of cotton textile enterprises, enhance the management level of enterprises, and form the core competitiveness of enterprises, is a topic before the information workers.

The information system of cotton textile enterprise is composed of information technology, management thought and characteristics of cotton textile enterprise. The management method and management mode it contains are neither the reproduction of traditional management of cotton textile, nor the application of discrete enterprise information system, but a new set of management methods and management modes combining three aspects: the application of computer technology and modern management thought and the characteristics of cotton textile enterprises.

Enterprises urgently need to improve management level

Cotton textile industry attaches great importance to five basic management (commonly known as five base), that is, raw materials, technology, equipment, operation, air conditioning management.

The essence of the five basic management is to strengthen quality control and reduce the consumption cost of raw materials.

The five basic management is the guarantee for the orderly and efficient operation of cotton textile enterprises.

Therefore, quality control and cost management run through the whole manufacturing process. It is the two main line of enterprise information system.

Most of the cotton textile enterprises that have not set up the information management system are lack of accurate and timely data analysis basis in decision-making. There are many problems such as redundant information, poor accuracy, unsmooth and unshared information, and difficult to find historical data.

Many executives of textile enterprises want to have a deep understanding of the implementation of the company's own plans at all levels, whether the semi product reserves are reasonable, whether the production load is balanced, whether the equipment operation rate and production efficiency need to be improved, and whether the production schedule can be produced according to the order, so as to ensure timely delivery.

Due to the inaccuracy of product manufacturing cost data, product price positioning lacks foresight and scientificity; there is a lack of detailed analysis of product sales, resulting in insufficient credit evaluation of customers, resulting in untimely recovery of goods; quality control and tracking are not timely; it is difficult to grasp assets and claims and liabilities of enterprises in a timely and comprehensive manner; departments' expenses exceed budget and are difficult to control.

Such problems exist in cotton textile enterprises that have not yet set up an information management system. They are bottlenecks that need to be broken through in the process of continuous development of scale efficiency of enterprises.

Informatization construction should adapt to enterprise characteristics

The information system of cotton textile industry should have good expansibility.

According to the characteristics of cotton textile enterprises, cotton textile enterprises often meet the needs of the market, and their product characteristics often show that cotton yarns are blended with a variety of fibers, and cotton cloth is interwoven with various yarns. Therefore, the material properties are more complex.

It is difficult to define a certain material accurately with only one material number in the system.

Taking cotton yarn as an example, to ensure the uniqueness and accuracy of variety data, it is necessary to define raw material composition, fiber blending ratio, cotton yarn count, distinguish warp and weft yarns, distinguish combing and carding processes, distinguish raw material batch numbers, distinguish work centers, and distinguish process parameters from other data fields describing cotton yarn properties.

Because of the frequent pformation of varieties, even the same species, the processing parameters at different time intervals are different, and the data fields often change.

Therefore, the information system must reserve space for the uncertain material properties, and even allow users to customize the field names according to the production changes, so that enterprise management can adapt to ever-changing market demands.

The information system of cotton textile industry should be flexible.

According to the characteristics of cotton textile enterprises, cotton textile enterprises have long production process and long manufacturing cycle. Taking cotton yarn production as an example, a small variety of cotton yarn is processed through seven processes, and many processes are processed through nine processes. A cotton variety production needs more process manufacturing to complete. The production plan and quality of semi finished products are closely linked with the next process.

Cotton textile enterprises not only have long road products, but also have new varieties that are badly needed by the market. In other words, both the order production and the forecast production, even if the system can be automatically generated, also need to be artificially adjusted. This determines that the system should have better flexibility, so that users can remain unchanged in the management.

The information system of cotton textile industry should have strict logic.

In the adjustment of the plan, it is necessary to analyze whether the capacity of the bottleneck process or the short machine platform is occupied. The process management of the cotton textile enterprise is the core of the five basic management, and the process design and the process execution belong to the separate management. Once the process is approved and approved, the process change must be carried out according to the procedure. The equipment management is the foundation of the five foundations, and the equipment maintenance cycle planning cycle is the core of the equipment management. The misalignment and deviance of the equipment maintenance plan will directly lead to the fluctuation of the product quality. The purchase of raw materials, spinning accessories and equipment is generally centralized purchase and batch purchase. The quality, service and reputation provided by the sub suppliers should be evaluated and assessed, and the purchasing process and procurement behavior should be restrained by ISO9000 program files. From the characteristics of cotton textile enterprises, we can see that the main production plan should take full account of the balance of resources and capabilities of each work center.

These inherent characteristics determine that when designing cotton textile enterprise information system, there must be rigorous business processes and strict logicality, so that production planning's release, change, process design, equipment maintenance cycle plan, procurement process management and so on are controlled at any time, regulating enterprise behavior.

Cotton textile industry information system should have personalized service.

Customer demand is the first. Every enterprise has its own set of enterprise management mode. Cotton textile enterprises usually customize production according to customer requirements.

This makes it difficult to determine the standard BOM and the technological process in the basic documents of the information system, and rely on the standard BOM and the technological process to carry out the MRP decomposition of the quota material and the cost accounting.

Therefore, we should define the optional or changeable rules and principles based on the personalized data structure dictionary, including the selection rules, rules of material selection, rules of material consumption, process change rules, and parameter calculation rules, and incorporate various rules into the system to make the whole information system a flexible and responsive system which is affected by parameters, so as to meet the needs of personalized service in cotton textile enterprises.

Informationization brings change to management

The information system has brought about a change in the purchasing management of enterprises.

First, the workshop plans to pform itself into a system to automatically generate purchase plans.

Due to the integration of the purchase management system and the production management system, the system calculates accurately according to the main production plan, and it can easily generate a procurement plan and reduce the procurement cost.

The two is from management procurement results to control the procurement process.

The information system has set a strict logical process for purchasing management, and every purchase business must be carried out according to the rules to make the purchase work open and pparent.

Effective control can be implemented from procurement plan, procurement contract to procurement, acceptance and sub supplier evaluation, improving the quality of procurement work, and reducing the run, run, drip and leakage caused by management errors.

Three, supplier resources are pferred from notebook management to database management.

The information system has set up supplier database, classifying sub suppliers according to ISO9000 quality standard, selecting qualified sub suppliers, establishing suppliers' supply details and historical paction records, such as variety, price, mode of pportation, quality and so on. The system should read supplier's basic information when executing purchase order, otherwise, it can't perform related procurement business.

The information system has changed the production management.

First, the pition from rough balance to detailed production capacity balance.

In order to shorten the lead time in the fierce market competition, market prediction must be carried out.

However, it is impossible to predict accurately.

Therefore, the timely adjustment of the plan is inevitable. The information system has strong planning ability, and more importantly, it has the ability to analyze and adjust the plan.

Cotton textile enterprises have a long technological process, and the rational production of short line machines is the focus of production planning management. The traditional production planning management mode does not carry out accurate production capacity calculation, but only roughly carries out capacity balance. While the information system is running normally, it can effectively prevent production and supply disconnection, and ensure smooth logistics on production line.

Two, the process information is pformed from the process ledger management to the database management.

Cotton textile enterprises have many varieties, small batch, many processing parameters, and frequent technological pformation, and process changes often change with the quality of products, raw materials, temperature and humidity, seasons, and semi-finished products. Only relying on technological ledgers can not guarantee the accuracy of the integrity of technological data, which will bring certain impact to production.

The information system can collect process information data to the database, the information system can generate multiple process versions according to the same product, and can support multiple users to modify the version, and also can produce multiple version numbers according to the process technology number. That is to say, a process technology number corresponds to a number of process versions, and the online processing of historical process data can be achieved at any time.

Three, quality indicators are changed from ex post analysis to immediate analysis, and timely control.

The information system sets up the product inspection module before the product is pferred to the next process or before storage. The products that are not inspected shall not be pferred to the next process or warehousing, and the inspection results are analyzed and processed by visual analysis charts.

The enterprise information system integrates the process management module with the quality management module and the workshop operation management module, so that the information is shared among the modules, and the quality standard is linked to the quality management module. Each inspection product corresponds to a testing center, and produces a quality index sampling plan. When the result of the sampling is checked, the system automatically determines whether the product is qualified, and sets up the quality alarm signal for the products with slight exceeding standard, and the notice of the stop rectification is automatically issued to the product system whose quality is seriously exceeded.

Enterprise information system has brought about changes in business activities.

First, the cost of raw materials is changed from apportionment to variety accounting.

In the enterprise information system, all the cost management applications share the same data source, and the by-products such as flowers, silk and so on produced in each process are input into the system and processed in time. The reaction speed is improved, and the cost of raw materials is subdivided, so that the cotton and yarn amount and materials can be calculated and calculated in time.

Therefore, the system divides the cost into the operation according to the amount of resources consumed by each operation, and then divides the cost into the product and the production department according to the number of jobs produced by each product.

Two is the pformation of business to order and customer service as the center.

To improve market competitiveness, we must be able to respond quickly to customer needs and deliver on time.

The enterprise information system can provide strong support for sales work in terms of customer order commitment, market forecast, product quotation and sales contract management.

The salesperson and the production manager can simulate production in the system and inquire about inventory and production. If the simulator enters the enterprise information system by ordering the quantity and demand date of the customer, he can get the accurate information of material demand, production date, delivery date and so on from the system, so that the commitment to the customer order is timely and reliable, and the blindness is reduced.

The three is from "artificial management" to "institutional management".

ISO9000 is a quality management system and quality management standard. When dealing with specific affairs of enterprises, it relies on people to perform. Inevitably, it will adulterate some human factors, and it will produce some deviations when executing. With the help of information system and network, enterprise management will be greatly different. The computer executes the order according to the pre designed process. The previous process (business) is not processed, and the subsequent pactions (processes) will not go on, and the execution will not be out of shape.

Using advanced management concepts and management modes, with the help of information technology and network platform, pforming and upgrading the traditional management mode, integrating the logistics, capital flow and information flow of enterprises, can fundamentally pform "man managed" into "system management", so as to achieve the goal of improving enterprise management decision-making level, reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Select professional software and partners

In view of the characteristics of the textile industry, the key to successful implementation of information management is to select specialized software and select professional partners.

What the enterprise needs is to "tailor" the information system according to the enterprise's own conditions and requirements, so that the software system can really meet the requirements of the enterprise and produce the greatest benefits for the enterprise.

The partners chosen by enterprises must have the experience of the industry, and provide timely and comprehensive, practical and high level application solutions and information-based products for enterprise.

Only in this way can we provide reliable guarantee for the successful implementation of information technology in enterprises.
