Study On Process Innovation Mechanism System Of Manufacturing Enterprise Under Information Technology Condition

For the modern manufacturing enterprises, process innovation has become one source of core competitive advantages, which is the foundation of business survival and sustainable development. With the manufacturing industry speeding up the process of enterprise information, advanced production technology and information systems on business process innovation had a profound impact, the combination of information technology and process innovation could help to lower the productivity reduce cost, reduce energy consumption, reduce environmental pollution, promote the progress of the business process innovation in enterprises. In this context, the paper explores manufacturing enterprises process innovation mechanism's main components and operating rule under the conditions of information, and demonstrated in detail in following:The content and characteristics of process innovation, process innovation mechanisms were difined. And based on the systematic view, the definition of manufacturing enterprise process innovation mechanism system was discussed, which is one organic combination that is formed by the mutual correlation and dynamic action between various mechanisms to realize the strategic goal of the process innovation. In addition, the process of innovation mechanism of four kinds of system function was analysized. And four elements of the mechanism system included dynamic mechanism, decision-making mechanism, organizational mechanism and diffusion mechanism,as well as internal and external information environment was explored. Finally, based on the above analysis, the overall framework of process innovation mechanism system was constructed.In the respect of research on process innovation dynamic mechanism, external and internal power sources of process innovation dynamic system under the informatization circumstances were expounded. External power sources include IT advancement, IT equipment suppliers, government polices on IT, while the internal ones include IT economy of scope, IT capability. Results of SEM with sample data validated the five power sources' driving effect. The results of the modified model showed that IT progress had the most significant positive driving effect, others in the successive order of diminishing positive driving effect were IT economies of scope, IT equipment suppliers, IT capabilities and government IT policy. Moreover, the process innovation transmission paths, transmission phase, supportive and obstructive elements during transmission were elaborated as well.In the respect of research on process innovation decision-making mechanism,the six targets of process innovation decision mechanism under informatizaiton were discussed, including innovation output, innovation cost, product quality, energy consumption, environment pollution and informatization support. The optimum allocation of decision-making authority was analyzed in details. According to decision-making targets of process innovation in manufacturing enterprises, a fuzzy multiple attribute group decision-making model for process innovation decision were established with the basis of TOPSIS algorithm. Then process innovation decision schemes were selected with the model and algorithm.In the respect of research on process innovation organizational mechanism,four traditional organization structures of process innovation were discussed after its concept was defined. The effects of informatization on the process innovation organization structure were also analyzed. Based on the analysis results, a new organization structure type of process innovation was brought forward, that is virtual dynamic union organization structure which is the provisional dynamic union formed by departments of enterprise,enterprise and enterprise, enterprise and social organization (research institutes) based on process innovation tasks with network relations and transcend time and space constraints. Then, the implementation problems of the implementing processes, organization learning and inter-organizational coordination of the new process innovation were discussed. Content of the process innovation organization control, the information platform construction and the operation of organization control were dissertated.In the respect of research on process innovation diffusion mechanism,process innovation diffusion factors in manufacturing enterprises in informatization conditions were analyzed, which contained providers, diffusion channels and receivers. Then, diffusion patterns of process innovation from innovation providers to adopters through diffusion channels were dissertated, there were three patterns:chain diffusion process, chain-loop diffusion process and network diffusion process. This dissertation performed a simulation research to test the rate of innovation diffusion based on small world networks model, according to the test results, the relations between the diffusion probability, network scale, networks strength and innovation diffusion rate were discussed.On the basis of research on four mechanism, the synergy relations as well as quantitative evaluation of synergy effect of process innovation mechanism was analysized with applied synergy theory. Furthurmore,the conception of synergy degree of process innovation mechanism system was proposed and the sequence parameter and the evaluation index of process innovation mechanism subsystems and informatization was selected. After that,the evaluation system of synergy degree in informatization and process innovation mechanism system was established. The weights of subsystems,the sequence parameters and evaluation indexes in evaluation system were ascertain using AHP method. Finally,the synergy degree evaluation model of process innovation mechanism system constructed.In the last,the enterprise of HCF was selected in empirical analysis. Through the introduction of informatization and process innovation situation in the enterprise of HCF, this dissertation analyzed process innovation dynamic mechanisms, decision-making mechanisms, organization mechanisms and diffusion mechanisms in the enterprise of HCF, and through the collection of the data in order to make an evaluation on the internal synergy degree of process innovation mechanism subsystems, the overall synergy degree of mechanism system, the synergy degree of process innovation mechanism system and informatization, and proposed the enlightenment on improving process innovation mechanism based on the evaluation results.
