Research on the collaborative manufacturing system for Chinese automobile enterprises orienting to SDN

摘要

As one representation of typical complex products and national pillar industries, Chinese automobile product and industry is falling into more intensive competition. To be the winner of the marketing competition which is full of native and overseas competitors, all member enterprises should cooperate each other to pursue the maximum integral profit to realize the win-win status and long-tern sustained development of their SDN (supply-demand network), instead of seeking their own maximum profits. Manufacturing process, which is related to the whole product lifecycle from product design, production arrangement, order confirmation, production plan work out and optimization, production dispatch, manufacturing implement to automobile product delivery to their customers or final consumers, is the most important and complex part of the whole automobile SDN. The smooth operation of manufacturing system through the whole SDN could be realized only by the collaboration of its all member enterprises. On the basis of systematic investigation of current manufacturing system of several automobile manufacturing enterprises, this paper puts forward a resolve proposal which is composed of such functional modules as technology planning, flexible production plan, manufacturing implement and optimization, production dispatch and process control. This proposal is also of great reference value and strong usability for the collaborative manufacturing system of other complex products.
