Technical Efficiency Evolution Model of the Integration of Information Technology and Manufacturing Technology

Abstract EN

The integration of information technology and manufacturing technology (IOITMT) is a strategic idea proposed by China.

As the smallest unit of integration, manufacturing enterprises can be seen as the root of IOITMT.

However, the current situation of IOITMT in China shows that intelligent manufacturing still has a long way to go and that the implementation effect of IOITMT requires urgent improvement.

The dynamic evolution of IOITMT is accompanied by the integration and coevolution of internal technologies and also affects the performance of enterprises.

Taking technical efficiency as a measure of IOITMT, the purpose of the current study is to develop an internal dynamic evolutionary mechanism framework for IOITMT of a single cycle in manufacturing enterprises.

The framework is based on the theory of self-organization and convergence and uses convergence theory to discuss the evolution mode of technical efficiency in the three stages of IOITMT under the guidance of order parameters.

This paper finds that the technical efficiency of IOITMT is influenced by the ratio of convergence parameters r1/r2, and adjusting the convergence intensity can effectively improve the performance of enterprises.

Hence, this paper provides important theoretical guidance for the advancement of IOITMT of Chinese manufacturing enterprises.
