The mode of innovation: from “listening to the enterprise” to “listening to the user”
In the intelligent factories recorded in “Intelligent Manufacturing China”, the least is people, but if the understanding of intelligent manufacturing remains at the level of “machine replacement”, it is very easy to ignore the nature of China’s intelligent manufacturing development.
The industry pointed out that the realization of intelligent manufacturing upgrade, the test is not only the technical ability of the enterprise, but also the soft power of management and other aspects, not relying on the introduction of one or two advanced equipment can be solved, can not only be limited to the production level of concern, but also need to fully play the value of people.
As mentioned in the documentary: in Haier, no matter who is related to this problem or whether it is related to this position, they can grab the order to solve it, which is equivalent to the entire problem is open source. Facing the user, this is the charm brought by Haier’s exploration of the one-in-one model, and the result of open source is to maximize the value of people, which coincides with the main line of Haier’s development, “people” is the source of all value.
Through the order in Thailand, it can be seen that Haier’s user-oriented connected factory allows each employee to become the main body of innovation. In this new organization, users and stakeholders can participate in every part of the enterprise process, and every part of the enterprise can talk to them directly. At the same time, Haier’s connected factory model eliminates intermediate links and realizes the organic integration of users, enterprises and stakeholders, and this model innovation is the core of the transformation of Chinese manufacturing enterprises.
Zhou Yunjie, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Haier Group, mentioned in his keynote speech at the High-quality Development and Advanced Manufacturing Conference that “to promote industrial technological change, it is necessary to reshape the manufacturing industry model and enterprise form with intelligence.” In the future, all industries will be the smartest people plus machines, and you will work with machines, not against them.” Therefore, Haier connected factory contains a deep understanding of intelligent manufacturing, not a simple “machine replacement”, but the whole system, the whole process to subvert the entire manufacturing system, it represents no longer just the transformation of a factory, but to create a new ecosystem.
The “Intelligent Manufacturing China” documentary focuses on Haier’s cutting-edge practice, which is to show that it is different from the intelligent upgrading of many manufacturing enterprises, Haier’s intelligent manufacturing road is not only an intelligent transformation, but also a self-subversion of management first, which to a certain extent also reflects the new path for China’s intelligent manufacturing to seek a breakthrough.
