[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Doosan Infracore announced on the 30th that it has started the '2020 Leading Supplier' initiative to support its partners in establishing smart factories.

The Leading Supplier program is Doosan Infracore's win-win growth activity aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of its partners by disseminating advanced cases and innovative techniques. It supports partners in production operations, quality assurance, and manufacturing technology based on its own partner development program.

This year, six partners were selected for support, including Haesong Engineering Co., Ltd., which supplies cooling device components, as well as Geonyeong Tech Co., Ltd., Seongwon Hydraulics Co., Ltd., Pyeongsan Bolt Manufacturing Co., Ltd., DY Solutech Co., Ltd., and Myungjin Enterprise Co., Ltd.

Doosan Infracore will support these partners in building an integrated manufacturing execution system (MES), one of the core smart factory programs, by the end of the year. MES integrates real-time data such as production plans, material flow, and quality information into a single platform to improve production efficiency. Doosan Infracore established a global integrated MES at its Incheon plant in August last year.

Since 2014, the company has been conducting the Leading Supplier program to foster the competitiveness of its partners, spreading advanced cases and innovative companies to more than 30 partners over six years.

Ryu Kyunghwan, CEO of Haesong Engineering Co., Ltd., said, “Despite the difficult market situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have high expectations as we can receive the parent company's smart factory know-how,” adding, “We will build MES as soon as possible to establish competitiveness that meets global standards.”

Lee Yongjin, Executive Vice President of Purchasing at Doosan Infracore, stated, “The smart transformation of partners must inevitably be supported to enhance global competitiveness,” and added, “We will spare no effort to support the establishment of MES among partners so that they can become strong digital small and medium enterprises.”
