Lean Digitalization Report on China's Manufacturing Industry (2022)

The launch of the "Lean Digitalization Report on China's Manufacturing Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") is truly rare! Because there are many professionals in today's industry and academia who are concerned about digital transformation and intelligent manufacturing, there are few who can talk about lean digitalization. And lean digitization is already a real problem for enterprise digital transformation! The manufacturing industry is the strategic focus of national development, and its strength directly affects the development of a country's national economy. Lean production has been practiced in the manufacturing industry for many years and has been proven to be an effective means of improving production and management levels. Its concept is widely favored by the manufacturing industry. Guided by the lean concept, many industries and their enterprises have implemented many effective lean production models or methods (such as just in time production - JIT, kanban, etc.), and achieved corresponding goals (such as improving quality, reducing inventory, lowering costs, etc.).

So far, the concept of lean seems to have not changed much, but there have been significant changes in the production methods, means, and coverage of lean. Previously used by Toyota; Kanban board; The system is used to drive production, and nowadays, enterprises implementing lean production will be supplemented by ERP, MES, and other digital means. Previously, companies only considered lean based on their own considerations, but now excellent companies have realized the need to consider lean throughout the entire supply chain.

This type of change is clearly based on the development of digital technology. The report precisely tells people about the demand for digitalization in "lean", the ways to implement lean digitalization, as well as the significance and effects of lean digitalization.
