The capability of enterprise informatization management is increasingly becoming the core competitiveness for furniture manufacturers to break through bottlenecks and connect the 'last mile' between global suppliers and users. It is also a threshold that traditional manufacturing enterprises will need to cross in the future.
Nowadays, computer technologies such as CAD, ERP, CAM, and CRM have been widely applied in the furniture manufacturing industry. However, in the face of an increasingly diverse supplier market and customer needs at different levels, an enterprise's grasp of information flow becomes particularly important. If an enterprise does not have complete informatization management capabilities, it cannot achieve two-way connection between global suppliers and customer resources. Even if local issues such as product design and production are solved, departments and links can still easily work in isolation and deviate from the broader direction of intelligent manufacturing, thus affecting the overall efficiency of the enterprise. Why is enterprise informatization management a threshold for traditional furniture manufacturers? Because informatization management transforms the furniture manufacturing industry in a huge and fundamental way. This transformation redefines the business model from sample design to manufacturing delivery and even after-sales service, and it reconstructs the way the entire value chain is realized. So what aspects does enterprise informatization management include? The chart below can help us understand it more intuitively.
Soonfor
A furniture ERP informatization solution is a complete intelligent home furnishing manufacturing solution. Taking C2M as the underlying logic of the entire digital management system, it deduces and enhances product customization capability, enables responsible production, and brings higher manufacturing efficiency. This is digital transformation empowered by intelligent technology and networked devices, used to cope with increasingly complex orders and ever faster production cycles. Guided by customer demand, Soonfor integrates the sales front end, factory manufacturing, and the back-end supply chain on one platform. It connects every link from channel management, order taking and order splitting, planning and procurement, production, warehousing, delivery, installation, to after-sales service. Information flow, physical flow, and capital flow all move accurately and rapidly, effectively solving the personalized needs of various home furnishing sub-industries and meeting different production models. It also mobilizes all production links to collaborate at a high level, fully utilizes resources, and improves work efficiency. In the truest sense, it realizes closed-loop management from receiving customer demand to make-to-order production and then to warehousing, delivery, installation, and after-sales service. For furniture enterprises, by using lean production thinking to build an enterprise big-data intelligent control system and aggregating, analyzing, and monitoring various information flows, data from every link can become transparent. Only then can data be integrated, intelligently analyzed, and used for scientific decision-making to provide a basis for corporate strategic planning. On this foundation, with further support from lean production thinking, enterprises can improve and break through one link at a time, continuously make up for shortcomings, and achieve sustained improvement. In this way, the entire system becomes increasingly complete, management becomes increasingly efficient, costs become increasingly lower, and the factory becomes a truly smart factory.
In the future, the informatization layout of furniture manufacturing enterprises will not be confined only to the enterprise itself. It will also bring every link in the supply chain into the enterprise's visible scope, realizing interconnection among manufacturers, equipment products, data development, and customer resources, and becoming a firm practitioner of the national Made in China 2025 strategy.
