Transformation of the information structure as a tool for efficiency increase in high-variety production

Abstract

Characteristics of high-variety production enterprise are viewed, in particular: technological training, operational management and improvement of production efficiency. The issues of increasing the competitiveness of a high-variety production enterprise, determining the requirements for the processes of management and preparation of production with a focus on ensuring efficient loading of technological equipment, planning the operation of production sites while maintaining high flexibility, are highlighted. The key problems identified. The following ones can be noted: the lack of statistical information for calculations and planning in relation to the conditions of a particular production; insufficient level of interaction of services and production units; a static approach to managing a dynamic production system; lack of effective feedback channels that allow tracking the current production situation for appropriate analysis and giving necessary corrections. It is shown that the use of digital technologies and software has significant potential for solving problems in the considered production conditions. The existing means of digitalization make significant improvements possible in the level of interaction between departments and the interconnection of individual stages of preparation and operation of production, the availability of necessary information and quick delivery of it. The prospects for the development of the enterprise information environment for improving the efficiency of technological preparation of production and its operational management are identified. The necessity of having feedback channels that allow monitoring the current production situation for appropriate analysis and development of necessary corrections in the conditions of the stochastic nature of production processes and enterprise agility is determined. The practicability of integrating digital production systems based on adaptive management systems having technological intelligence into the information environment of an enterprise is reasoned out. Thus, the intellectualization of production requires the modernization of the principles of building information support for the production process.
