With China's accession to the WTO, the development of global economic integration will inevitably have a huge impact on China's traditional industrial system. We must reform the traditional mode of operation to adapt to the market. To participate in international competition, it is necessary to be in line with international standards in the form and means of information exchange. As we all know, e-commerce represents the direction of future trade development and an inevitable trend of economic development and progress. In the period of gradual deepening of market competition, enterprise innovation capability has increasingly become an important part of enterprise competitiveness, and information resources have increasingly become strategic resources of enterprises. China's mold companies are mostly small and medium-sized enterprises. They have grown up from workshop-style enterprises. Even many mold companies are still workshop-style management. The problems in the control of mold delivery, cost and quality are constantly emerging. In the face of fierce market competition, backward management methods and levels, the management and technical personnel in the mold enterprises are only exhausted. Therefore, mold manufacturing enterprises must improve their management level and have the ability to respond quickly and adjust in time. It is difficult to achieve information management without an advanced management system. Through the construction of information technology, mold manufacturing is realized. The so-called information-based mold enterprise is to apply the information technology such as INTERNET and ERP in the mold enterprise, to the upstream and downstream business processes of the mold enterprise, the technical communication process, and the internal business management process of the mold enterprise. The IT form is fixed, and finally the management level of the mold enterprise is improved, and the efficiency of the operation of the mold enterprise is improved. In the 1980s, the means of manufacturing molds relied mainly on ordinary machining equipment. For molds with complex shapes, they relied on the skills of fitters. Excellent mold fitters played a decisive role in the mold enterprise. The focus of competition lies in who Have the ability to produce molds. In the 1990s, CAD/CAM technology, CNC machining technology and EDM processing technology were gradually applied. It is no longer a problem to manufacture molds. The application level of CAD/CAM technology and numerical control technology is the main content of mold measurement. The first change. The management model of the mold company has also changed, and management has become more and more important. In the 21st century, the rapid development of IT technologies such as network technology and computer applications, as well as the drastic reduction of computer technology application costs, the improvement of network speed, and the rapid spread of network applications, all indicate that the information age is coming soon, who can master Take the initiative, seize the opportunity, apply IT technology to the mold enterprise as soon as possible, who can have an advantage in developing the market and improving the core competitiveness of the enterprise. At present, the promotion of CAD/CAM technology has entered the deep application stage from the “甩图†stage. The application of CAPP technology can greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of enterprise process preparation; the application of PDM system can effectively manage product development data; the application of MIS/ERP system can fundamentally reduce the cost of enterprises and improve Production and management efficiency. The integration of these systems and the functional cooperation between them, and gradually realize the comprehensive informationization of enterprises, has become the theme of deepening application of CAD/CAM technology, and is the second change of mold development. The establishment of network enterprises is generally based on INTERNET technology and computer management technology, and incorporates technologies such as EPR, CRM, SCM, PM, and some industry standardization specifications. Through INTERNET technology, mold companies can establish contacts with domestic and foreign customers, open up a broader market; communicate business and technology with customers at home and abroad; establish an interface between enterprises and customers. ERP technology helps companies standardize and manage internal business processes, improve the management level of mold companies, and greatly optimize and shorten internal processes and improve competitiveness. By combining INTERNET technology and ERP technology, it is also possible to remotely operate in remote locations, improve the rapid response capability of enterprises, and manage enterprises more effectively. CRM technology can help mold companies strengthen their management of customer relationships and respond quickly to customer needs. SCM technology helps mold companies strengthen supplier management, further reduce procurement costs and open up more supply channels, and so on. Molds are typical industries that are produced in order-to-order. Each order must communicate with customers on detailed business and technical aspects, otherwise serious consequences will result. The following is an example of insufficient communication between the mold company and the customer: a large mold factory has undertaken a mold order for a new Japanese customer. After the Japanese customer is used to order, they will communicate with the designer of the mold factory in detail. Proposing very detailed design requirements, the mold factory can design according to this requirement, no need to confirm the design drawings. After the mold factory designer completed the design, he still used the habit of picking orders from American customers in the past. After waiting for the customer to confirm the design, he ordered the formwork and materials. He waited for 10 days before he knew that the customer did not need to confirm the drawings. As a result, the mold was extended for 10 days, and the customer was very dissatisfied. Since then, the order was no longer placed, and a very promising customer was lost. It can be seen that even a small flaw in the communication with customers and the internal information of the enterprise will cause huge losses to the enterprise. The information management system will help mold companies better communicate with customers. In the communication with customers, through the use of computer network platform and network conference system to implement real-time collaboration with customers without borders, through the powerful functions of the conference center to achieve remote collaborative work, greatly improving work efficiency. In the information system, through the detailed mold technology communication template (the template is fully integrated with the international mold industry), it is convenient to carry out detailed technical communication with the customer and reduce the modification work of the mold. The customer pays great attention to the mold test and delivery date, and often arranges the production plan according to the mold test time, especially for overseas customers. Therefore, controlling the production time of the mold is an important indicator for the company to win in the market competition. The following case may be a problem that has occurred in many mold shops. Case: A large mold factory has undertaken mold orders for US customers. Due to the lack of effective mold production schedule monitoring and management methods, it is not possible to try out models on time. The production department also reported this situation to the overseas market personnel, but the market personnel could not understand the actual situation of production, and worried that the customer would be unhappy if they did not try the model. So they took the lucky attitude and thought that the production department could work overtime to get back. Time, still promise the customer's established test date. When the customer came to the test mode from thousands of miles away, he found that the mold could not be tested at all within one week, and the customer was very disappointed. The information management system will provide enterprises with a shared, consistent and loyal process monitoring platform. In the information system, through the project planning and process control, the entire life cycle of the mold (order determination - design - procurement - production - first trial - mold modification - delivery) can be managed. The production frontline management staff directly feeds back the actual progress of the mold in the system. The system faithfully monitors each task of the project process. When a certain control point is postponed, the system will automatically send an alarm email to the relevant personnel for early detection and early resolution. Moreover, for some key tasks, the system can also be pre-warned so that the relevant personnel can prepare and arrange it early. Cost control is a difficult point in the management of mold enterprises. The cost control ability of mold enterprises has more and more prominently reflected the core competitiveness of enterprises. At present, the mold industry is facing the heavy pressure of lower and lower mold prices. The mold has been modified several times, and the mold profit is consumed and even lost. If enterprises can't solve this problem fundamentally, they will face the danger of being eliminated. The information system will set the planned cost for the mold based on the cost estimate of the quotation when the order is placed within the company; the cost warning is set in the system to monitor the cost elements in the mold production, thereby effectively controlling the expenses and ensuring the profit. The goal was successfully achieved. When the mold material is released, compare the difference between the total cost of the design material and the cost of the planned material, and decide whether to release it. When the purchased materials are received, the difference between the delivery price and the planned price is compared to determine whether or not to receive the goods, thereby effectively controlling the procurement cost. The system records and counts the processing time generated by each workpiece in each processing step, automatically compares the difference between the actual processing cost and the planned cost, and monitors the manufacturing cost. When the actual cost exceeds the planned cost, the system will automatically alarm and notify the relevant management personnel. The informatized real-time workshop monitoring system can help the production supervisor monitor the production status of each equipment and the processing progress of the mold, improve the utilization rate of the equipment, and control the production progress of the workpiece. For example, when the company management needs to check the production workshop, the real-time production status of each processing equipment and working group can be checked through the production management system. The system clearly marks the workpieces being processed by each equipment and processing group through different color markings. The state of the workpiece, including what is being done by each machine, the current load of the machine, whether the workpiece being processed is postponed, whether the workpiece to be processed has been handed over to the process, whether the process is postponed, whether the material is in place, etc., greatly reducing the management personnel The intensity of work. When managers need to check the production of a set of molds, they can view the progress of mold processing in the form of Gantt charts, and help managers track the progress of mold production by comparing the planned time of each process with the actual process. In the past, when the production management personnel inspected the progress of the mold, they had to go to a work station at the workshop to see it, and they could only see the main components. The completion of the small parts may not be understood at all, and even the team leader of the workshop did not know. Where are the small parts? Or hold a production meeting, gather all the team leaders, and spend a long time to report the progress of the mold. Since the team leader is not the first-line processing staff, he can only judge the progress of the mold with his own feelings and experience, which has a great error. For experienced workers, it may be judged accurately, but there is no way for a factory to ensure that every worker is experienced and responsible at all times. As long as there is a set of molds in an order that cannot be completed on time, there is a problem with the delivery of the entire order. This is also a major reason why many mold factories often work overtime before the test, and even work overtime to make molds.
