Research On Key Technologies Of ETO Project Management For Mass Customization

Aiming at the characteristics of the ETO (engineering to order) and the problems faced in the process of mass customization, the technology architecture of ETO product project management for MC was proposed. Key technologies of ETO product project management for MC were researched comprehensively and deeply, and the research achievements were put into practice combined with practical project. The main work of dissertation as follows:In the 1st chapter, the research background of this dissertation is described. Design technology for MC, management technology for MC and key technology of project management were reviewed and analyzed, and the main content and structure of this dissertation were given.In chapter 2, the definition of ETO product was given firstly, and the mass customization process of ETO was analyzed. Then combined with the definition and character of project, this dissertation thought that the mass customization process of ETO could be managed with project mode. The definition of ETO product project management for MC was clarified, and the relationships among project structure, resource, schedule, and cost were researched. Then, the framework of ETO product project management for MC was built.In chapter 3, after analyzing the characteristics of cost estimation and project quotation and the composition of ETO product cost, the process of project quotation was proposed. Then, the framework of quotation decision support was given. Finally, in order to calculate some especial parts cost, which could be redesign in process of MC, a parts manufacturing cost estimation model was put forward.In the 4th chapter, a rapid project plan method based on project main plan was proposed. The process to set up project main plan was researched mainly, which included project work breakdown, project activity relationship analyses and project duration computation. Then, the process of project plan instantiation was researched, and the method of project plan instantiation was presented based on project knowledge base. Finally, matching of rules and algorithm on resource balance were discussed.In chapter 5, the process of ETO product project execution and control for MC was given. ETO product project integrated management framework was proposed. From the integration between project, process, product data integration and the integration among project, process, product data angles, project integrated management model was researched. The composition of project integrated management platform was analyzed, and the logic data structure among project management in PDM, quotation system, CAD and ERP was researched.In the 6th chapter, the ETO product project management for MC applications in a Hangzhou Steam Turbine Co. Ltd and a certain engine institute were described. On the basis of SMARTEAM4.0 platform, the theory, method and technology were validated.Chapter 7 reviewed the achievements and innovations of this dissertation, and gave a prospect for future work.
