Chapter 916: Modular Production Line

I think that the motor production equipment of Honjo Co., Ltd. is very good, and it has obviously been modified and upgraded in the later stage, and their company has always been mainly engaged in the production of motors, and it also occupies a large share of the domestic market in Japan. Duan Yun pondered for a moment, and then said: "As for the afternoon visit to that factory, although the machine looks relatively new, in fact, their production line has no bright spots at all......

"But I feel that the Sankyo Komagen in the afternoon, their production line has been used for a shorter period ......of time," Zhao Xuewu said with a frown.

"No characteristic products are mediocre products, and after we introduce this set of production lines, the later stage will also be modified, the production line is gray, although in addition to the production of motors of the equipment, the others are indeed inferior to the three kyoma roots, but their production line equipment can be improved There is not much room for improvement, on the contrary, although their production line is old, but this production line is modular design from the beginning, which is very conducive to the upgrading and improvement of the later stage......"

"Modular design?" Hearing this, Zhao Xuewu was stunned for a moment.

At the time when he was researching electronics, modular design of production lines was still a relatively unfamiliar term.

In fact, the module production line was just proposed in the 70s, and at the end of the 80s, it has been adopted in factories in some developed countries in Europe and the United States, but for the domestic in the same period, this concept has only just been introduced, and has not begun to be popularized and practicalized.

"The so-called modularity is actually very easy to understand, which is equivalent to changing the "series" in the circuit to the "parallel" mode...... Duan Yun began to tell Zhao Xuewu about the principle of the module production line.

Taking the production of automobiles as an example, the assembly line mode corresponds to the manual production in the early stage of automobile production, and its mode is characterized by the fact that the workers who produce the car are fixed, which requires the workers to master a lot of skills, and must have an understanding of each link in the birth process of the car.

The modular production is the division of labor refinement, the worker does not need to know all the knowledge of automobile production, only need to master the technology of the production parts he is responsible for, and the professional division of labor brings the improvement of production efficiency.

In the past, the biggest problem of assembly line production was that all operational links were "coupled" to each other, and an error in any one link could lead to the shutdown of the entire production line, and such a pause would mean huge economic losses for the enterprise.

Modular assembly eliminates the assembly line, splitting the automobile manufacturing link into more independent processes, each process has a separate production area or workshop, any product after completing the assembly of a certain component, can go to any workshop with spare capacity, queuing and scheduling through the digital system control, each personality electronic terminal will be computer record arrangement production, and clearly know how long the product will take in which workshop to assemble.

In the modular production line system, it is possible to allow an infinite number of products with different model configurations to be produced at the same time at the same time, rather than having to produce only the same model configuration products per batch as in the original production line.

"I see. Hearing this, Zhao Xuewu was suddenly stunned, and then asked Duan Yun in surprise: "This modular production does sound highly feasible, but how do you know this model, Manager Duan? I have been teaching at Taiyuan Mechanical Institute for so many years, and it is the first time I have heard of this production line model." ”

"Our domestic enterprises are limited by the planned economic system, what products are produced are fixed, state-owned enterprises do not need to adapt to market competition and customer requirements to customize products for them, since there is no need to produce too many varieties of goods, naturally there is no need for this modular production line mode. Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Makes sense!" Zhao Xuewu's eyes lit up, and then he said to Duan Yun in an admiring tone: "Manager Duan, you are really amazing, you actually know so many things, no wonder you can successfully start a business at a young age, and you really have something extraordinary......"

Zhao Xuewu also showed great focus and seriousness when he visited the Japanese factory this time, but his observation goal was always on the functional parameters and advanced degree of a single equipment, but he did not comprehensively analyze the core operation mode of the entire production line, and the concept of modular production line that Duan Yun just said really made Zhao Xuewu feel refreshed.

Duan Yun's thinking and insight surprised Zhao Xuewu again, far higher and deeper than his own vision.

"We don't have a slogan in Shenzhen called "time is money", so production efficiency is very important, if you use the previous assembly line model, once a link has a problem, then the entire production line will stop, which will cause a lot of losses. Duan Yun paused, and then said: "The other is the introduction of this production line, in addition to the production of tape recorders, in the future it is possible to upgrade and improve the equipment, the production of small tape recorders or walkmans, only product diversification can make our enterprises more adaptable to the market competition environment, so our assembly line must have more functions and production capacity, so if we introduce the production line with modular functions, then compared with other domestic electronic manufacturers will have a very big advantage......"

"Manager Duan, this idea you said is very good, but why do I feel that the production line they sold to us from the Honzhuang Electronics Factory does not seem to have the ability to produce several products at the same time, right?" Zhao Xuewu asked suspiciously.

"These little Japan will not sell the best things to us, some key parts and equipment have been dismantled by them, and in my opinion, they should have been used in their current new production line, you have also seen their new workshop before, there are a lot of robots and CNC devices in it, and the old production line has basically dismantled the CNC equipment ......" Duan Yun replied.

"I'll just say it!" Zhao Xuewu slapped his thigh when he heard this, and then said: "When I visited the two workshops of their factory before, I felt that some equipment had similar performance, but some additional electronic devices were obviously added to the appearance, and they really left a hand......

"It's normal to keep one hand, no one can easily sell their own food technology to others, but after this second-hand production line is shipped to China, Master Zhao and other experts will definitely be able to study a new modular digital control system, as long as the direction and concept we choose is correct, then sooner or later our electronics factory will become the most advanced leading enterprise in China!" Duan Yun raised his eyebrows and said.
