Mastering innovation in the manufacturing sector

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper concentrates on understanding the types of innovation that can boost the profit margins of manufacturing companies in Spain. Digital service innovation can be a welcome factor that meshes with product innovation and process innovation, to enhance profits within defined manufacturing sub-sectors – namely computer manufacturing and machinery manufacturing. These processes should be introduced and pursued simultaneously, as an essential condition for producing positive effects on profitability. In other sub-sectors, the digital service innovation isn't required, since this merely adds a neutral impact to the profit-driving effects of the effective duo of process innovation and product innovation. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers’ hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Development of Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation

The technical level and scale of machinery manufacturing industry are one of the most important factors to measure a country’s industrialization degree and comprehensive strength of national economy. In present, the rapid development of China has also undergone leapfrog changes in the development of machinery manufacturing and automation, however, the development trend of mechanical manufacturing and its automation has gradually developed from the previous manual work to the direction of network virtualization, machine miniaturization and industrial intelligence.

Influence of Numerical Control Cutting Parameters on Performance of Numerical Control Tool

As China has stepped into a new era of development, the popularity of computer applications is becoming more and more profound. Especially in the machinery manufacturing industry, the current market has put forward a higher requirement for the accuracy and toughness of machinery manufacturing, and the traditional artificial manufacturing has not been adapted to the development of the industry. Through numerical control technology, numerical control tool manufacturing process can become very standardized, its accuracy and toughness is also guaranteed. This paper will from the numerical control this point of view, to explore the influence of numerical control cutting parameters on the numerical control tool.

Discussion on the Innovation and Transformation of IMM and Processing Mode

The progress of manufacturing is the driving force and foundation of social development, and the manufacturing industry represents the country’s production level and comprehensive strength. With the continuous development and advancement of science and technology, intelligent manufacturing has transformed the traditional labor-intensive manufacturing model, which can optimize the production management process of the enterprise to a large extent and reduce the manufacturing cost. This article aims to explore the innovative transformation of intelligent machinery manufacturing (IMM) and processing models. This article first analyzes the current situation of my country’s manufacturing industry to promote intelligent manufacturing, and points out the problems that exist in the development process. Based on existing problems, this paper takes manufacturing company H as an example, through questionnaire surveys and actual research methods, explores the advantages of H company in the development of intelligent manufacturing, and finally puts forward the promotion of intelligent manufacturing capabilities and intelligent processing in the manufacturing industry. The survey data shows that among 212 people, 140 people think that H company has a clear intelligent manufacturing plan, 152 people think that the company’s human-machine cooperation is efficient, and 157 people think that the company’s production equipment technology is perfect. This shows that the advantages of H Company’s production process are: clear goals in the intelligent manufacturing transformation plan, better business cooperation between various departments, perfect management of standardized operations in the workshop, higher coverage of automation equipment, and better human-machine coordination capabilities.

An Agile System to Enhance Productivity through a Modified Value Stream Mapping Approach in Industry 4.0: A Novel Approach

Worldwide, industries are emphasizing the development of an agile system to sustain higher productivity, which can be applied to ensure improvements in all production conditions in industry 4.0. In the present scenario, several methods are used for improvements in production, such as value stream mapping, kaizen, just in time, Kanban, and total productive maintenance, etc., The objective of the present research article is to produce an agile system to sustain improvements in productivity through a methodology coupled with value stream mapping in industry 4.0. Value stream mapping is a lean-based method and is used for the maximization of productivity by the elimination of non-value-added activities. The proposed methodology has been validated by productivity enhancements achieved in a case study of the earthmoving machinery manufacturing sector. The study establishes that the proposed methodology would encourage industry personnel during decision-making processes, which would lead to improvements in production in industry 4.0.
