Research and Application of Material Data for Digital Manufacturing

The organization mode of “headquarters and multi-factories” has been widely developed in manufacturing enterprises. Although the multi-production base model meets the needs of rapid business expansion, it puts forward higher requirements for enterprise management. The differences in cost accounting methods, planning methods, and operation modes of the factories under the headquarters lead to different production management organizations, purchasing organizations, and sales organizations. Because the basic materials are managed by the headquarters, each factory can only select the required materials from the headquarters material warehouse. Therefore, there is a phenomenon that the same item corresponds to multiple business views. In this paper, the full attribute management mode of material data is taken as the research object, and a full attribute management solution with material code and factory code as the unique identification is proposed. It provides the theoretical basis and practical guidance for the application and promotion of material data life cycle management in multi-factory mode.
