The Research And Application Of Information Integration In Furniture Manufacturing Industry

With intense completion and the great and various demands in the market, the traditional furniture manufacturing industry is undergoing a transform. At present, most of furniture enterprises have made great strides in industrialized production, and a few of them have realized semi-automation or automation. In order to gain upper hand and keep developing under such new completing circumstances, the furniture manufacturing industry need to realize the informationalization from designing, producing, selling to management. It is extremely urgent to construct an integrated information system in the key furniture manufacturing enterprises in our country, which will be an important determinant in the future existence of these enterprises.This paper based on the construction of information system, delves into the successful and unprofitable experiences of the discrete enterprises to give of a practical program for building integrated information system in furniture manufacturing industry.This paper does some researches on the following aspects:â‘ According to the analysis of connotation and content of the "informationalization", it discusses the present situation and existing problems in the construction of information system in furniture industry. Moreover, it points out the profound importance of implementing the information system in furniture industry.â‘¡From a systematical point of view, it summarizes the principles that industry should abide by in the course of the construction of the informationalization. And in addition, combined with a practical example of GuangMing Furniture Company, it maps out a plan for the construction of the manufacturing information system in the furniture industry and establishes a systematical function model.â‘¢It gives of the basic theory in the process planning and the flow of process planning, and explores the information integration of the product design and manufacture. Furthermore, it develops the FCAPP-the furniture process planning system, according to demand analysis, outline design, detailed design, database design and etc. This system, on the one hand, has the ability to complete the product process planning, and on the other hand, collects and disposes the related technological information automatically.â‘£It puts forward the means of the integration of the CAD/CAPP system and the ERP system for the furniture industry. In addition, it develops the interface between FCAD/FCAPP system of ChongQing University and the system of the specialized editionof LiMa ERP. From the both sides, the product design information and the management information can be realized the data sharing and integration.
