- Scale of production base
Generally speaking, the strength of a production factory can reflect the overall strength of a brand. The larger the production base and workshop area, the stronger the brand’s strength and output.
In addition, strong brands will set up factories in multiple parts of the country to meet the logistics needs of regional distributors.
- On site operators
Operators, including workshop managers, production teams, and on-site operators.
(1) Franchisees often visit factories under the guidance and explanation of the factory manager in the production workshop. The familiarity and professionalism of the factory director determine the management and strength of the factory. Franchisees can roughly estimate the management level of the entire factory by feeling the personal abilities and qualities of the factory manager on site.
(2) The composition of the production team, personnel education, and production experience can determine the production level of the factory. Therefore, it is necessary to have a certain understanding of the team structure and professionalism of the production base when inspecting the factory, which can be concluded through on-site observation and questioning.
(3) On site, it also depends on the condition of the on-site workers and the mental state of the employees. The high enthusiasm of the workers means that the efficiency of the factory is relatively higher, and the quality of the products will also give people more confidence. If the on-site busy schedule is uneven, the atmosphere is lazy, low, and indifferent, it indicates that the factory lacks lean management, personnel and equipment work efficiency is low, and such a factory is difficult to produce good products and create benefits.
- Looking at the production system
The production system of the enterprise factory, including production lines and production equipment, reflects its progressiveness and automation in the industry. Currently, the industry generally relies on the introduction of intelligent production lines such as Germany’s Haomai and Italy’s SCM as the basis for achieving Industry 4.0.
For customized home furnishing enterprises, the complete production process includes from three-dimensional board storage, cutting, edge sealing, punching to sorting and packaging. A fully automated customized furniture production line is mainly divided into three areas: large panel nesting area, rotary edge banding area, and intelligent hole arrangement area.
The production process of the entire production line starts with an automatic labeling machine for labeling, followed by a fully automatic loading and unloading cutting machine for automatic loading, cutting, and automatic unloading to the production line. The cut boards are automatically transferred to the fully automatic edge banding machine area for edge banding. After edge banding is completed, they enter the process of punching and slotting, and can be packaged after processing.
In addition, the equipment and process management of production lines directly determine production efficiency and cost control. The more production lines there are, the larger the production scale.
