Operational Issues in Practice and Improvement Directions
1
When R&D initiates material change operations through batch processing, the system automatically generates related change orders.
2
After change orders are reviewed, the system automatically updates and adjusts the documents, creating a comprehensive historical trail.
3
Regularly auditing inventory or utilizing intelligent inventory analysis to determine when quantities with an age exceeding a certain number of days can be replaced.
4
Analyzing the cost of failures caused by statistical change data.
5
Using statistical data on changes from various perspectives such as customer, order type, product type, etc., as a basis for improvement.
