Research On Industrial Robot Application R&D Process Optimization In Company A Based On Stage-Gate System

Under the background of the rapid development of science,technology and globalization,the update speed of various products is faster and faster,so that the manufacturing enterprises must improve production efficiency to better survive.And the most effective way to increase production efficiency is to use automation equipment,especially to use industrial robot automation equipment.With the increasing demand for industrial robot automation equipment in recent years,the application of industrial robots has become more and more extensive.As a result,industrial robot manufacturers and integrators pay more and more attention to the R&D of industrial robot applications.The research object of this paper is company A,which is a produces industrial robots and industrial robot automation equipment.In recent years,with the rapid development of company A's the industrial robot business,more and more loopholes in the management of industrial robot application R&D processes have been exposed,resulting in more and more losses.The main reason is that the company is still using the R&D process management system developed 20 years ago,but this management system has been unable to meet the current changing R&D management requirements.This paper aims to strengthen the management and control of the process by introducing the theory of stage gate process,solve the problems such as management loopholes and low efficiency of the process,and enable company A to break through the bottleneck of R&D process management and improve the R&D efficiency.Firstly,this paper analyzes the current situation of company A and its industry characteristics,and uses methods such as case analysis and interview survey to find out the problems and root causes of the problems that need to be solved urgently.Secondly to reorganize the industrial robot application R&D process into seven main stages based on the theory of stage gate process,and add periodic review.The process improvement is realized by clearly defining the review content and personnel of each stage,filling in the missing links of the process,so as to obtain the optimized new R&D process.Thirdly,optimize and ensure the implementation of new processes by optimizing organizationalstructure,lean process management,and strengthening performance management and quality management.Finally,the effectiveness of the new process is analyzed and evaluated from three aspects.According to the analysis results,the process optimization effect is remarkable,and the efficiency and completion quality of the project are successfully improved.As company A in this paper has a certain leading position in the industry,its R&D process management has a certain representativeness.The research of this paper has certain promotion and reference significance for other enterprises in the industry.
