AstheBOMAGglobalsecond largest production base - BOMAG Changzhou plant. The equipment here is not only sold around the world, but also carries the hopes and dreams of countless road construction projects. Facing huge market demand, how does BOMAG produce the highest quality products while ensuring delivery times? The answer lies hidden in this globally leading intelligent manufacturing center for road construction equipment.

A look inside the BOMAG Changzhou plant

Stepping into the BOMAG Changzhou plant, you will be deeply impressed by its efficiency and orderliness. Behind all this is BOMAG's self-developed JIS (Just-in-Sequence material preparation and production) system. The JIS system can be described as the "smart brain" of the BOMAG plant!

BOMAG Changzhou plant

In 2019, after the new Changzhou plant was completed, BOMAG launched the JIS Phase I logistics digitalization system. It can issue material demand information in real time based on production scheduling plans and actual consumption, ensuring that every process on the production line can obtain the required materials in a timely manner. This efficient and rapid response mechanism not only improves the flexibility of the production line, but also greatly shortens the time for material preparation.

Thanks to JIS Phase I, the operational process efficiency of the BOMAG plant has been significantly improved. In May 2024, BOMAG took another important step with the official launch of the JIS Phase II system. The extension of this phase not only connects the entire operational chain, but also extends the reach of digital management to every corner of plant operations.

On the supplier side, subsequent material usage forecasts can be viewed directly through the system, and these forecast data are updated every day. This means suppliers can prepare in advance to ensure timely material supply. On the plant side, from supplier delivery to incoming material inspection and production, the progress of every link can be viewed in real time through the system. This transparent management approach greatly reduces waiting time and interruptions in the production process, improving the continuity and efficiency of the production line.

Customers also benefit greatly. The JIS system not only improves the execution efficiency of production plans, but also makes the production process more controllable. Customers can understand the production progress and quality status of orders in real time. This visualized presentation greatly enhances customer satisfaction and trust.

For BOMAG, quality is always the core pursuit. The launch of the JIS system not only improves production efficiency, but more importantly, it can analyze quality data in the production process, providing strong support for continuous improvement of production processes and quality control measures.

Standing at a new historical starting point, BOMAG is moving toward higher goals with a firmer pace. The successful application of the JIS system has won BOMAG a head start in competition in the global market. In the future, BOMAG will continue to uphold the development philosophy of "quality first, innovation-driven," continuously explore and practice new paths of digital management, and contribute more wisdom and strength to global road construction.
