Industrialization remains the most arduous historical task in the modernization process of China, and informationization is an inevitable choice to accelerate the stated industrialization and modernization. In the first decades of the 21st century, China will persist in the action that drive informationization with industrialization, and vice versa, wherein a new industrialization path characterized by the fully exertion of the strengths of high technology content, good finance benefit, low resource consumption, little environment pollution and sufficient human resource will be the national strategy. The informationization of enterprise, especially that of manufacturing industry, is acting as the key essence in the trend that informationization drives industrialization. In the informationization report of Chinese enterprise prepared by the national economy and trade commission in 2001, information encoding is a prevalent problem in the informationization process of enterprise. Along with the digitalization of products, manufacture process and production management, computers are used in enterprise from management to all whole staff, therefore, the information processing content is targeted at the complete company and the overall process. From the past application of computers in enterprise and the development trend henceforth, the information and material encoding under regular status can no longer satisfy the development requirement of the modern manufacturing and management techniques. In order that the enterprise adapts for the informationization, it is a must to comprehensively use computers and introduce encoding processing to the information and materials of the whole company. While based on the reflection of the enterprise, it is the basis for the informationization of enterprise to instruct the same to comprehensively apply the information encoding data of computers.In case that an enterprise is intended to realize informationization, whether CAD, CAPP, PDM, ERP or other information system, the foremost problem is how to perform information classification encoding, which is of great significance and function to the data exchange, data share and data processing within in the internal nodes of the enterprise informationization.In combination with the requirement of material encoding of XXX Locomotive & Rolling Stock Works, the relevant concepts and principles of encoding are primarily discussed, based on which the complete process of requirement analysis, design and implementation of the uniform encoding management system is addressed.The uniform encoding management system realizes the whole encoding management process including encoding segment definition, encoding rule definition, encoding application enquiry and management, which provides a flexible definition method, fulfilling also all the types of encoding management and control of enterprise, meanwhile encoding system as basis of other informationization systems (such as CAD, CAPP, PDM, ERP) is considered, as well as its effective integration with other informationization systems, ensuring the conformity, integrity and validity of enterprise encoding data.By and through the design and implementation of this system, the product drawing number coding of XXX Locomotive & Rolling Stock Works is effectively managed, and this provides a foundation for the expansion of uniform encoding in process, manufacture, sales, after-sales service, finance and logistics, HR and asset management. |
