Structured Process Analysis_Manufacturing Process

 (Yueyang Hu, Muxuan Zhang, Ruini Weng)

The flow chart of OSM's manufacturing process:

    All aspects of OSM's manufacturing process are intelligent and efficient, resulting in statistics, analysis, and optimization; steady production; enhanced product output and quality; decreased consumption; lower costs; and the realization of the greatest possible economic gains. Daily chemical industry struggles with data analysis due to diverse products and a lack of unified identification systems. Digital capability gaps between upstream and downstream businesses hinder collaboration in this highly industrialized sector.

The flow chart of how information system support each step of manufacturing process:

    The information system used by OSM in the production process is the information supervision system. The OSM supervision system integrates several Internet of Things technologies such as RFID with a blockchain-based pearl ecological cultivation management system to monitor the entire pearl process, including nursery, nucleation, recuperation, and collection.

RFID:

The RFID intelligent monitoring system can provide real-time data monitoring, quality control and safety assurance in all aspects of OSM pearl raw material and cosmetics production, helping manufacturers improve production efficiency, product quality and safety. RFID provides monitoring in the following aspects:

Raw materials (OSM pearl) monitoring: RFID tracks the supply chain information of raw materials to ensure that the source and quality of raw materials meet standards.

Production process monitoring: During the production process, RFID monitors key parameters and indicators, such as temperature, humidity, pH value, etc., and analyzes the values in real time.

Quality control: The system can also use sensors and instruments to monitor the physical and chemical properties of the product and compare them with standards to ensure stable product quality.

Data and safety monitoring: RFID can automatically record data in each link and monitor the safety status of the production site.

Silo：

    Due to the wide variety of products and the use of many different platforms, there is a problem of information silos between various departments. In order to solve this problem,

OSM has developed quality traceability coding standards that meet unified standards with the help of industrial Internet identification analysis standards and daily chemical application platforms. The platform reduces the cost pressure associated with tracing everyday chemicals by severing siled information links. In addition, OSM achieves cloudification and data sharing of equipment and data by creating a digital factory, and opens up data transmission within and between enterprises.

    OSM uses ERP and CRM. Between them, a CRM information system can provide a quantity of benefits to OSM, which as a medium-sized private enterprise, ranging from customer retention to increased productivity. It helps OSM organize, centralize task management, marketing automation, and communication. In particular, OSM, as a business with a dedicated sales team, CRM can even help it improve and evolve its sales process by using customer information, showing it key trends and areas where you can improve your strategy, and automating menial tasks for its sales reps.

Inter-enterprise IS: Support one or more inter-enterprise processes. 1,000+ users; systems procedures formalized; problem solutions affect multiple organizations; can resolve problems of duplicated enterprise data; very difficult to change.

OSM’s Inter-enterprise IS:

    OSM's manufacturers have close inter-enterprise IS connections with suppliers, logistics providers, sign parsing, industrial Internet platforms, and distributors. For example, OSM formulates supplier plans based on the company's production plan, and dynamically provides supply or loans based on the enterprise's real-time demand feedback.

    OSM emphasizes the necessity of inter-enterprise information system communication for knowledge sharing, cooperation, and innovation. This exchange fosters efficiency, addresses challenges, and supports OSM's growth in a competitive environment. Learning from diverse expertise, OSM improves its competitiveness and identifies opportunities for cooperation and partnerships, bringing mutual benefits and overall development. Inter-enterprise IS communication is crucial for adopting best practices, advanced technologies, and innovative thinking, leading to the development of unique products. Additionally, it expands OSM's business network, providing access to a broader market and increased collaboration and sales opportunities.
