Based on the discussion of the relative technologies of Mass Customization (MC), this dissertation makes a systematic research of the theory and method of the modeling and expression of the product family configuration and the configuration product's implementing and controlling, meanwhile, tries to establish an integrated information system which can support the product lifecycle management. The emphases of this dissertation are on the methods of product family modeling and realization, the methods of the product configuration design for customer's requirement, the agile supply chain management (ASCM) and the flexible production management system in detail. The research has important values of the theory and practice, and it has been applied in the enterprises successfully.In the 1st chapter, based on the summarization of the changes in the environment of modern manufacturing enterprises and the main problems in these enterprises, the dissertation presents the causes of appearance and characters of MC. Then, this chapter analyzes the development of product family modeling, the BPR of ASCM and flexible production management of MC, discusses the limits of the known researches and brings forward the problems needed to be solved. Meanwhile, the dissertation presents an architecture of the information system oriented to MC and analyzes the integrating of information and functions between the sub systems. Finally, the purpose, significance and key research contents of this dissertation are briefly described.In the 2nd chapter, the definition of Product Function and Structure Components (PFSC) based on OO technology is presented. At the same time, a product family structure model is established. This model's basis is the Product Function and Structure Components tree, and it sets up the relations between PFSC and instances of product family. Furthermore, a new BOM based-on character separation and PFSC BOM is given to build the configuration product structure. How to realize the product family model in information system is also given in detail.In the 3rd chapter, to meet the requirements of the expression of the configuration design information, a product configuration template (PCT) based on PFSC is formulated. The PCT can respond to the specific requirements of customer and work out the product configuration rapidly. An information model of PCT and the approach to generate configuration solution are also illustrated. Because of great variety in structure of mechanical products, multiple ways to express the configuration knowledge are introduced. Moreover, the PCT presents a mapping algorithm and an AHP algorithm to solve the configuration process.In the 4th chapter, a model of ASCM for MC through the integration of the customer requirement management and the supply chain management is presented. The design and manufacturing resource of ally enterprise can be used thoroughly, thus to realize the cost, time andvariety demand of MC. As to the organizing of Agile Supply Chain Management, this chapter presents a scenario of ASCM constitution that is based on ISP. The application framework of ISP and business processing are also presented.the 5th chapter points out that the realization of MC based not only on design methodology but also on the controlling in manufacturing. Then, presents a hybrid system of MRP II /JIT to build the framework of flexible production management system. Further more, researches the relative technologies of MPS, MRP and SFC, presents an optimization model of stochastic MPS based on bi-directional consuming forecast and heuristic algorithm. A schedule of SFC based on bottleneck working procedure and a dynamic dispatching strategy are also given in this chapter.In the 6th chapter, a product configuration design system and a flexible production management system are described. The two systems' architecture characters and main modules are introduced, partly realized the idea of integrated information management system which is oriented to MC. These applications testify the...
