A Capability Maturity Model for Intelligent Manufacturing in Chair Industry Enterprises

Intelligent manufacturing has a strong role in promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries such as the chair industry. This study aimed to accurately evaluate the production status and technical level of chair industry enterprises, and then better guide chair industry enterprises to gradually implement intelligent manufacturing. Based on the analytic network process (ANP), we propose four capability domains, nine capability sub-domains, and 21 evaluation elements, thereby constructing an evaluation model for the capability maturity of chair industry enterprises' intelligent manufacturing. First, the weight relationship of each index of the model was determined by means of an expert questionnaire. Then, super decision software was used to complete the modeling of the evaluation index of the network analytic hierarchy process. Finally, the evaluation model of the intelligent manufacturing maturity of chair industry enterprises was applied to 50 chair industry enterprises for evaluation and verification, and the evaluation results of the model proposed in this paper were compared with the evaluation results of the intelligent manufacturing maturity model released by China's national standards. The results show that the evaluation model constructed in this study can better reflect the development status and overall technical level of intelligent manufacturing in the chair industry. Furthermore, the evaluation results can provide decision-making suggestions for chair industry enterprises to identify important areas for improvement and implementation of intelligent manufacturing upgrade plans.
