Enhancing Efficiency in Custom Furniture Production with Intelligent Scheduling Systems

With the upgrading of consumption driving the transformation of the home furnishing industry towards personalized customization, panel furniture enterprises are confronted with a core contradiction between large-scale production and individualized demands: The traditional production management model is unable to cope with the chaos in production scheduling, resource waste, and low collaborative efficiency caused by small-batch and multi-variety orders. This paper proposes an intelligent production scheduling system that integrates Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS), and Warehouse Management System (WMS), and elaborates on its data processing methods and specific application processes in each production stage. Compared with the traditional model, it effectively overcomes limitations such as coarse-grained planning, delayed execution, and information islands in middle-level systems, achieving deep collaboration between planning, workshop execution, and warehouse logistics. Empirical studies show that this system not only can effectively reduce the production costs of customized panel furniture manufacturers, enhance their market competitiveness, but also provides a digital transformation framework for the entire customized panel furniture manufacturing industry, with significant theoretical and practical value.

Abstract

With the upgrading of consumption driving the transformation of the home furnishing industry towards personalized customization, panel furniture enterprises are confronted with a core contradiction between large-scale production and individualized demands: The traditional production management model is unable to cope with the chaos in production scheduling, resource waste, and low collaborative efficiency caused by small-batch and multi-variety orders. This paper proposes an intelligent production scheduling system that integrates Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS), and Warehouse Management System (WMS), and elaborates on its data processing methods and specific application processes in each production stage. Compared with the traditional model, it effectively overcomes limitations such as coarse-grained planning, delayed execution, and information islands in middle-level systems, achieving deep collaboration between planning, workshop execution, and warehouse logistics. Empirical studies show that this system not only can effectively reduce the production costs of customized panel furniture manufacturers, enhance their market competitiveness, but also provides a digital transformation framework for the entire customized panel furniture manufacturing industry, with significant theoretical and practical value.
