HKSQxEngDS Webinar - The Chinese Intelligent Manufacturing Capability Maturity Model and Its Assessment Method

 The Hong Kong Society for Quality (HKSQ) and CityU EngD Society co-organized a webinar on “The Chinese Intelligent Manufacturing Capability Maturity Model and Its Assessment Method” on 28^th May 2022. The webinar aims to introduce Hong Kong and Mainland China Intelligent Manufacturing Capability Maturity Model. I (Dr. Lotto Lai, Chairman of HKSQ) was the guest speaker for HKSQ and EngD Society on this topic.

There are four sessions. Firstly, reindustrialization policy in Hong Kong was briefed and then i4.0 approach based on Fraunhofer IPT was explained.  And then introduced GB/T 39116:2020 intelligent manufacturing capability maturity model.  After that its maturity assessment method based on GB/T 39117:2020 was stated. Finally, some China cases were reported.

In the beginning, the development history of GB/T39116 & GB/T39117 were briefed from 2015 to 2020.

Then the HKPC and Fraunhofer IPT employed i4.0 maturity level in Hong Kong were stated and Hong Kong SMEs situation of i4.0 was reported in the range of -1.7i to 0.7i.

And then China intelligent manufacturing system architecture based on life cycle, system level and intelligent function was explained.

The PTRM Model composition was explained and PTRM stand for Personnel, Technology, Resource and Manufacturing.

Different to i4.0 maturity level employed in Hong Kong, the standard used 5 levels and they are Planning level, Specification level, Integration level, Optimization level and Leading level.

For assessment, model’s elements, domains and sub-domains are assigned different weighting.  Moreover, those weighting are different and separated into two manufacturing types – repetitive and discrete.

I also demonstrated a simple version to show the evaluation score basic on the standard weighting.

Finally, the Public Service Platform for Smart Manufacturing Evaluation and Assessment in China was introduced and it was a self-evaluation platform.
