Geely is one of the largest automakers in China. Innovative and forward-thinking, Geely owns many well-known brands, including Volvo and Lotus. The company operates numerous R&D facilities, design studios, and manufacturing plants. In 2017, Geely launched a new production line at the BelGee plant in the Republic of Belarus. This facility has a production capacity of up to 60,000 cars per year, with potential expansion to 120,000 cars annually.

Challenges

The BelGee plant, occupying over one square kilometer, features full-cycle production workshops equipped with the latest machinery and cutting-edge robotic systems. To ensure efficient operations and timely decision-making, a rapid development of an integrated management system was required. This system needed to cover all enterprise processes — from customer orders to assembly line operations, quality control, warranty repairs, and after-sales service.

The implementation project aimed to achieve the following:

Balanced Production Plans. Formulating synchronized production plans that eliminate downtime across all plant life cycle stages.
Assembly Process Synchronization. Ensuring smooth coordination of the assembly process and supply chain management.
Quality Management. Implementing a robust quality management system to monitor and improve the quality of vehicles and components.
Supply Chain Management. Enhancing the efficiency of the supply chain from procurement to production.
Cost Management. Reducing overall enterprise costs without compromising product quality.

1C:ERP

Flexible and powerful ERP solution for enterprises integrating all of the core and supporting workflows in a single system. 1C:ERP provides advanced production and warehouse management and can be implemented in companies of various industries, e.g. equipment and metal goods production, industrial machinery, food, textile production, and many more.

Solution

The 1C Partner “PROF-IT Group” integrated the unified business automation system for the Geely’s BelGee plant based on 1C:ERP and other solutions developed on the 1C:Enterprise platform.

1C:ERP System

The ERP system effectively manages product specifications, production planning, cost and capacity planning, and supply chain management. It also streamlines business processes such as sales, procurement, service, and maintenance.

Calculation of manufacturing cots. 1C:ERP accurately calculates the true production costs of cars assembled at the BelGee plant of Geely. This allows for detailed cost analyses and helps reduce production expenses without compromising quality.
The warehouse management component. 1C:ERP facilitates just in time delivery of components from the warehouse to the assembly line, minimizing downtime and optimizing efficiency.

MES & QMS

Manufacturing Execution System. The MES facilitates optimized production sequence planning. Each vehicle and its components are tracked through RFID, mobile terminals, and specialized production tracking equipment, with real-time process monitoring available through dedicated displays.
Integration with Andon Monitoring System. Provides visualization of equipment and assembly line status.
Integration with DC-Tool System. Enables control of electronic assembly tools for better precision and quality control.
Quality Management System. This system allows BelGee to monitor the quality of vehicles and components, analyze warranty claims, and make recommendations to adjust manufacturing processes accordingly.

Results

The integrated automation project at the BelGee plant was completed within an extremely tight timeframe (only 9 months), automating over 150 workstations. The implementation of solutions developed on the 1C:Enterprise platform and 1C:ERP resulted in the following key outcomes:

Balanced Production Plans. The generation of synchronized production plans eliminated downtime across all stages of the plant's life cycle.
Process Synchronization. Assembly processes were harmonized with supply chain management, ensuring a seamless flow of operations.
Cost Management. Automated management of production costs led to significant cost reductions while maintaining high-quality standards.
