Study on Production Process Control of Virtual Organization in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Based on Manufacturing Resource Workload

Abstract

The disorder competition between enterprises and the waste of manufacturing resources existing in the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, make enterprise's agility decline and production cost rise, and cause enterprises to be in the disadvantageous position in the market competition. The essence of production process control in the virtual organization of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, is to keep balance of manufacturing resource workloads for all member enterprises, to improve the rationality of manufacturing resource workloads, and to reduce the production cost and raise the manufacturing process agility. The production control of virtual organization, is mainly tokeep balance of whole demand of production capacity in the virtual organization and production capacity offered by all the member enterprises. Once the deviation from the production planning such as production capacity fluctuation, urgent order, equipment fault, the absence of operators etc.appeared in the production schedule implement course, the original production planning should be adjusted to keep the steady operation of the manufacturing system. Because production capacity, activity progress, order quantity, etc. are directly correlated with manufacturing resources workloads, production process control of small and medium-sized enterprises can be simplified and the efficiency can be raised by the integration and schedule of workloads, and by using different control strategies according to manufacturing resource different workloads. Through the analysis of production process activity and manufacturing resources workloads in the virtual organization based on the Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, and from the viewpoint of balancing manufacturing resources workload and improving manufacturing process agility, and according to task and manufacturing resources workloads in production process, this paper put forward the production process controlstrategy and its implementation process in the virtual organization of small and medium-sized enterprises based on workloads.
