| The furniture manufacturing industry has been an important people’s livelihood industry in China’s economic development,and it plays a positive role in promoting China’s economy.With the improvement of people’s income level,personalized customization of furniture has become the main direction that customers pursue.However,it is difficult for the furniture industry to meet the diversified needs of customers according to the previous batch production mode,and most furniture enterprises still have the phenomenon of high manufacturing cost,weak autonomy of product research and development,and low quality and benefit level.The arrival of the "Intelligent +" era has brought a new application scenario for the traditional furniture industry.As a new furniture enterprise,customized home furnishing enterprises need more urgent transformation of intelligent manufacturing.Currently,China’s furniture industry has a low level of intelligence.How to transform with the help of intelligent manufacturing is the key to promote the core competitiveness of enterprises.However,domestic and foreign scholars mainly focus on the concept and technology of intelligent manufacturing,but there is little research on the path of enterprise intelligent manufacturing transformation and the impact on enterprises after the transformation.Therefore,it is helpful to promote the development of intelligent manufacturing transformation of furniture industry by studying the motivation and path of intelligent manufacturing transformation of customized home furnishing enterprises and exploring the effect of intelligent manufacturing transformation on enterprises.In this paper,the case study method is used to select Suofeiya,which was earlier in the customized home furnishing industry to carry out intelligent manufacturing transformation and was rated as the "model of intelligent manufacturing",as an example.In the part of related concepts and theoretical research,it introduces the basic concepts of intelligent manufacturing,and constructs a theoretical framework based on the core competitiveness theory,process reengineering theory,and synergy effects theory.In the part of case introduction,the basic situation of Suofeiya is expounded,and the reasons for the transformation of intelligent manufacturing in Suofeiya are analyzed from the aspects of policy environment,industry environment and internal enterprise.On this basis,through case analysis,further explore the path of Suofeiya’s intelligent manufacturing transformation from the perspective of intelligent chemical plants,platform construction and customer demand,further analyze the impact mechanism of Suofeiya’s intelligent manufacturing transformation,study the effect of Suofeiya’s intelligent manufacturing transformation,and put forward suggestions for Suofeiya’s transformation through comparison with the financial performance of the same industry.The research found that through the transformation of intelligent manufacturing,Suofeiya has improved its performance in three aspects: the use efficiency of production factors,innovation efficiency and commercial operation efficiency.Specifically,intelligent manufacturing can shorten production cycle,enhance cost control ability,promote product and technology innovation,and improve competitive advantage.Finally,the following research conclusions are drawn: First,the transformation of intelligent manufacturing promotes the improvement of enterprise production efficiency;Second,the transformation of intelligent manufacturing has improved the product and technology innovation of enterprises;Third,the transformation of intelligent manufacturing promotes the enhancement of enterprises’ comprehensive strength.From the horizontal comparative analysis,it is concluded that the gross profit margin of Suofeiya is not high.Therefore,enterprises should further promote the transformation of intelligent manufacturing,improve intelligent production and management,reduce the operating costs of factories and dealers,and provide consumers with more cost-effective products and services.The research conclusion enriches the research related to intelligent manufacturing transformation,and provides some references for enterprises in the process of transformation. |
