The information age is an opportunity or challenge for instrumentation companies

The National Instrumentation Industry Research Group pointed out in the summary report titled “Countermeasures and Suggestions on Rejuvenating China's Instrumentation Industry” that the stability and reliability of China’s instrumentation products have not been fundamentally resolved for a long time. That is: "The quality control and management of the company's products is not effective." This is an internal cause, and the problem of the internal cause depends on the enterprise itself.

Informatization is an important method for modern management of instrumentation companies

With the in-depth development of the reform of state-owned enterprises, including instrument and meter companies, it can be said that the top concern of business leaders and employees is the market. The reason is very simple: employees need to eat, and companies need to develop. With China's accession to the WTO imminent, the long-closed domestic market will face more competition from the world's elites. Facing this harsh fact, leaving the reality of the enterprise, the global network economy will come, and China's instrumentation companies will respond to this big market in the world. ? Under the premise of expanding the domestic market, how to go global? This is a question worth studying. How to improve the instrumentation company's management level and reduce operating costs, how to improve product quality and long-term stability of product quality, how to develop the market to increase the competitiveness of enterprises themselves, information technology is undoubtedly one of the important means. We must also see that if China's instrumentation companies do not accelerate the construction of IT, the traditional business model is still unable to meet the needs of the market, and from the global trend, the trend of corporate touch networks is becoming increasingly apparent. Therefore, it is necessary to change the business model of instrument and meter companies, especially to change the traditional supply chain. Some of the customers now have access to the Internet. Therefore, they hope that the reaction speed of instrumentation companies should be accelerated, and at the same time, higher requirements must be placed on product quality. But unfortunately, many state-owned instrument and meter companies do not have their own websites yet, and they can still only provide printed product catalogs and samples, or traditional telephone and fax contact methods. Resulting information, services, delays and lags provided to customers.

Practice has also proved that companies need a weapon that can help it grow rapidly when the sense of crisis in the enterprise is gradually strengthened. Enterprise informatization naturally becomes the weapon of choice for companies. Enterprise informatization refers to the process of improving the management level, development capability, and operating level through the development of information technology and the use of enterprise information resources to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. Enterprise informatization is a necessary means for modern instrumentation for instrumentation companies, and is a self-defense weapon that prevents companies from being eliminated by the market tide. The implementation of information technology is also the only way for instrumentation companies to reform themselves. There are many cases of informatization that can promote the development of enterprises. For example, CISCO, a world-famous network product company, has grown from the first two employees to the current 30,000 employees worldwide in just 10 years. Corporate information Construction is an important reason to help CISCO succeed.

After joining the WTO, China's instrumentation companies, like other companies, are facing a lot of opportunities. The market for domestic instrumentation companies will expand, and a large number of cheap labor resources and huge markets in China will attract a large number of foreign companies to invest in the country. Instrumentation companies will encounter more opportunities for cooperation. With the maturity of network technology and the continuous decline in the prices of IT products, the informatization of instrument and meter companies has gradually become lower. And there have been many successful instrumentation and instrumentation enterprise information construction experience, such as Wuzhong Instrument Co., Ltd. PDM project. Therefore, it is the best time for instrumentation companies to implement information construction.

Informationization is the foundation of e-commerce

Strictly speaking, a comprehensive information system should include: production management information, engineering design information, manufacturing information and quality information systems. Instrument and meter companies are manufacturing systems, including production and operation until the completion of the product, the supply of markets and customer service after the product is sold. It can be seen that the core of the whole process is management, and the essence of management is decision-making. The basis and basis of decision-making is information, especially feedback from the market and customers. It can be seen that the entire process of the system is inextricably linked to one another. For production management, it is necessary to obtain market analysis, forecast information, production plans, production operation plans, production control information, and production result statistics. The product research and development of engineering design is related to the market demand information, and also related to the internal feedback information in the production process. The manufacturing information is mainly based on product manufacturing, assembly, testing, debugging and other specific aspects to achieve the detailed management of the production plant and production equipment. Quality is the life. The collection, analysis and analysis of quality information is beneficial to the improvement of process quality and quality control in all aspects of the product manufacturing system, so as to ensure the quality of the product. However, good quality products must be approved by customers and adopted in large quantities. E-commerce is very useful here. Due to the large amount of information, complex relationships and structures, and poor regularity, the above information is characterized by the fact that the data forms are diversified and it is impossible to rely solely on manual statistics. However, the timeliness is not even better, but it is easy to rely on computer technology. Fast implementation.

E-commerce is a hot topic in recent years. The so-called e-commerce refers to the use of electronic networks for business activities (or business activities). Traditional enterprises face the challenge of joining the WTO and must carry out reforms, and e-commerce is the tool of this transformation. Use it to participate in the new economy to establish a new order and strive to turn the company into a new enterprise and meet the challenges of the new economy. The business process of traditional instrumentation companies is: product sales channels, product users (ie customers), enterprise production and sales of customer satisfaction instrumentation products, can not be separated from commercial partners and raw materials, spare parts suppliers, four missing No, it involves the management of supply chain and customer relationship management. The above process is performed by a computer, and it is necessary to establish the company's own website. Is it possible to do a website? no! Engaging the website is only an instrument for the development of e-commerce by instrumentation companies. The key is to identify the goals. The development of traditional enterprises towards e-commerce enterprises should be gradual and gradual. It takes 2-3 years to gradually implement them. Its starting stage is the stage of electronic marketing, that is, the release of enterprise information, such as enterprise information, instrumentation product information, market information, all kinds of information can be published on the website, in order to deepen the customer's deep understanding of the enterprise and enterprise products. understanding. On this basis, it will enter the second stage - the electronic trading stage. Instrumentation companies should do traditional e-commerce, that is, traditional sales and management, as well as online sales and management, so that traditional and e-commerce marketing co-exist and complement each other. The third stage is the e-commerce of enterprises. This must have the entire production management of the company, the complete information of the enterprise management, and the internal network of the company's internal area, so that the enterprise can establish a complete, electronic and commercial enterprise management model with corporate culture characteristics from the inside to the outside. . The entire business model must be customer-centric. It is the key to the development of instrument and meter companies because of the quest for customers, especially the long-standing loyal customer base. To sum up, enterprise information is the foundation of e-commerce. Therefore, we should meet the long-term goal of enterprise information management to meet the challenges of e-commerce and make the enterprise invincible.

Informatization construction must be combined with actual business

Judging from the relatively successful enterprises in domestic informatization construction, it is inseparable from the direct support of corporate leaders. It can be said that the key to the informationization of instrument and instrument companies is the awareness and importance of the leaders of the company. At the same time, some of the previous failures will be valuable lessons for the implementation of information technology companies. It should also be seen that the informatization construction covers a wide range of areas, whether it can achieve the desired results and has a close relationship with management. If we regard information construction as a computer project, the success rate will be greatly reduced. It should be noted that the core of informatization construction is scientific management. Here is a quote from experts: "Management information is a three-point technique, seven-point management, and twelve-point data." This shows that management is important. The development of application software is the key to the success of informatization construction. Without reducing the level, it should be closely integrated with the actual situation of the enterprise. This kind of software has strong vitality. At the same time, we should also see that companies themselves have something to do and do not do. Therefore, the information construction of instrument and meter companies can consider taking the form of outsourcing, which can guarantee the level of the project, but also guarantee the progress and quality of the project. Can reduce costs. Should choose a good partner, the system integrator or software developer must carry out some economic constraints to ensure the smooth implementation of the project. It should also adopt a method of phased investment and batch implementation. For the system host can also take a leasing approach to reduce investment risk.

In short, after entering the WTO, under the guidance and control of the country's macroeconomic policies, China's instrumentation companies will make greater progress through their efforts.
