Business Needs
- Cross-factory and cross-workshop integration projects lack transparency in information progress, resulting in low collaboration efficiency.
- High-mix, low-volume discrete manufacturing makes agile and flexible production control difficult.
- Long product manufacturing cycles, multi-level BOM structures, and recurring process issues create challenges for error-proofing mechanisms.
- Segmented, discrete, modular production operations lack lean coordination between upstream and downstream processes, leading to low production efficiency.
- Production space cannot be efficiently utilized or turned over, constraining capacity expansion.
- Lack of a structured system for equipment inspection, O&M, and preventive management limits equipment performance.
Implementation Overview
N2.MOM Manufacturing Operations Management System
Covers system integration, plan and work order management, intelligent warehousing, process error-proofing, SMT control, DIP control, wire-harness production control,assembly line production, workcell production, quality management, equipment management, and data applications.
The system is deployed across KSTAR's Shenzhen Guangming headquarters, Jiangxi factory, and Huizhou factory.
How the Solution Addresses Core User Needs
- Establishes the "central nervous system" of group-wide digital intelligent manufacturing, enabling business collaboration across upstream and downstream systems and supporting operational decision-making.
- Builds unified barcode rules and a standardized barcode system to achieve full lifecycle barcode management for man–machine–material–method–environment (5M1E).
- Establishes standardized production models, unified quality systems, and stringent process control to ensure controlled execution and traceable results.
- Forms standardized production modes for high-mix, varying-volume product portfolios to enable consistent management and rapid factory replication.
- Seamlessly integrates multiple departments, systems, applications, and equipment across factories to achieve transparent information flow and efficient collaboration.
- Enables independent mastery of system applications, supporting rapid self-driven business expansion and ensuring future scalability at controlled cost.
Implementation Benefits
- Production efficiency increased by 15%
- Quality traceability time reduced by 95%
- Equipment utilization increased to 72%
- Work-in-process (WIP) reduced by 16%–35%
- Data accuracy increased to 99%
- Quality-related errors and omissions reduced to 0
