From the perspective of brands

From the brand's point of view, under the general trend of brands insisting on innovation and catering to consumers with diversified and personalized products, manufacturers should not only actively adjust their thinking to adapt to small-volume orders with a wide range of categories and uneven order sizes, but also make use of innovative technology to release production capacity, cope with large-volume orders with short delivery periods, and have the ability to innovate.

From the perspective of enterprise management

From the perspective of enterprise management, how to build a digital workshop, introduce lean management, achieve precise planning, lean production, visualization, fine management at the workshop level, and so on, are all challenges that manufacturers need to face to effectively enhance competitiveness.

02
