The Intelligent Manufacturing Maturity Model prescribes the incremental goals and evolutionary trajectories that enterprises must pursue in their intelligent manufacturing endeavors. It also raises the core contents, characteristics and requirements for actualizing intelligent manufacturing. This model comprehensively appraises the developmental echelon of enterprises in digitalization, networking and intelligence, considering aspects such as personnel, technology, resources and manufacturing. There are five ascending levels of maturity. Namely, Level 1 is Process Management （Planning Level）， signifying initial planning and process structuring. Level 2, Digital Transformation （Standardization Level）， marks the onset of digitizing operations. Level 3, Network Integration （Integration Level）， emphasizes the integration of networked systems. Level 4, Intelligent Production （Optimization Level）， showcases advanced optimization in production. Level 5, Industrial Chain Innovation （Leading Level）， represents the zenith of innovation across the industrial chain. At present, the most advanced enterprises in China's intelligent manufacturing landscape have reached Level 4, and as of yet, no domestic enterprise has achieved Level 5 certification.
To rapidly promote the company's digital transformation and achieve high-quality development, the CMMM assessment team for this time was initiated by Shen Chunlei, the Equipment Director of Furukawa, with the informatization department taking the lead. It was jointly promoted and participated by departments such as optical cable manufacturing, optical fiber manufacturing, quality, equipment R & D, order delivery, technical support, marketing, administration, procurement and human resources. Based on the clauses of GB/T 39116-2020 "Intelligent Manufacturing Capability Maturity Model" and GB/T 39117-2020 "Intelligent Manufacturing Capability Maturity Assessment Method", taking the capability domains as units, through methods such as personnel interviews, on-site inspections and system verifications, involving a total of 18 sub-domains including organizational strategy, personnel skills, equipment, network, data, integration, information security, process design, procurement, plan and scheduling, production operations, equipment management, safety and environmental protection, warehousing and distribution, energy management, logistics, sales, and customer service, the team identified gaps, iterated reviews, and comprehensively evaluated the current development level of the company's intelligent manufacturing capabilities.
This assessment serves as a comprehensive examination of an enterprise's intelligent manufacturing capabilities. It assists enterprises in pinpointing disparities, formulating objectives and effectuating enhancements during the process of intelligent manufacturing transformation and upgrading. To date, across the nation, there are 36 enterprises that have achieved Level 4, 113 that have cleared Level 3, 291 that have passed Level 2, and 59 that have attained Level 1.
Innovation drives enterprise's core competitiveness. Starting from the Level 3 of intelligent manufacturing capability maturity, Furukawa will further strengthen the organization construction and talent management related to intelligent manufacturing, accelerate the construction of the intelligent manufacturing development ecosystem, deeply promote digital transformation and intelligent upgrading, and continuously enhance the company's competitiveness. In the future, Furukawa will continue to lead transformation and upgrading with intelligent manufacturing, continuously enhance the enterprise's innovation capabilities, improve the enterprise's digital and intelligent levels, continuously enhance the core competitiveness, and provide consumers with higher-quality products and services!
