In recent years, with the increasing demand for flexibility in the manufacturing industry, the number of small batch, high-precision, and short lead time orders in the field of special steel processing has surged. Faced with customers' demand for "perfection" that is both fast and good, many enterprises are trapped in the dilemma of production capacity and efficiency. With the "Production Quality Inspection Storage" integrated collaborative operation plan, Gree Group has successfully reduced the delivery cycle of small orders by more than 20%.

The production department "turns small parts into whole", achieving a win-win situation of efficiency and output

In response to the pain points of fragmented small orders and frequent line changes, Gree's production department has launched the "centralized production of collective work orders" model: consolidating scattered orders by material and specification, reducing the frequency of repeated loading/unloading of coils, and increasing daily production capacity by 25%; The main operation provides real-time feedback on the progress of the process, with precise control over individual reports and a 30% increase in the efficiency of reporting product weight.

The warehouse department conducts' pre operation 'to ensure that materials' run' before demand

In order to shorten the material turnover time, the Grey Warehousing Department has created a "dynamic stocking area for pending production". Based on data analysis, commonly used specification materials are stocked in advance to the production line, achieving "production ready for outbound, surplus materials returned to the warehouse in seconds" and reducing material requisition time by 50%.

The quality inspection department has zero tolerance and conducts full inspections to ensure the quality of every finished product

Even in the face of delivery pressure, Gree adheres to the principle of "never compromising on the bottom line of quality". Testing equipment such as spectrometers, thickness gauges, and depth gauges conduct comprehensive testing on the composition, size, and surface quality of each finished product; The quality inspector conducts a full inspection to ensure that the quality standards of urgent orders are not lowered due to rushing the schedule.

While the industry is still struggling with "small orders don't make money, urgent orders can't be taken up", Grey Group has already accelerated in the field of special steel processing. Whether it's a hundred ton order or a personalized requirement for "one piece minimum order", Gree proves with its strength that true flexible manufacturing starts with respecting every order!
