Research On Manufacturing System Of Supply Chain Postponement For MC

Based on the change characteristic of customers' demand in buyer market, the manufacturing industry competition will focus on flexibility and fast response for market. The manufacturers find that it is more and more difficult to gain the market share and improve their performance by mass production. To build and maintenance manufacturing competitive advantage lies in adopting the advanced manufacture mode and precisely managing the process of fulfilling variation orders, and satisfying customers' anticipant customization requirements with low cost, high flexibility and high efficiency. Many manufacturing enterprises use the idea of supply chain to reorganize its organizational structure, and adopt mass customization to meet the market demand change. Under this tendency, manufacturing system frame of supply chain postponement for mass customization is proposed, which the operation mechanism and process of postponement strategy is studied. The main content as follows:Firstly, supply chain operation system frame for MC is constructed. The paper sums up key technoloy of MC based on economic analysis for MC, focuses on the operation relationship between MC and supply chain, proposes the theory of supply chain for MC. Supply chain for MC is oriented on customer's individual demands, formed le-agile compete and cooperation relationship on integrating different enterprise resource of supply chain. Finally, the paper constructs the supply chain operation system frame for MC and analysis its characteristics.Secondly, implementing mechanism of supply chain postponement strategy is studied. The implementation of postponement strategy and the position of customer order decoupling point are investment decision-making question on latent stochastic process and the constraints, which are important of real options, contain massive intrinsic connection opportunities for investment. The paper constructs postponement strategy decision-making model on real options, and carries on the empirical analysis on the position of customer order decoupling point. The inner-relationships between postponement strategy, mass customization, customer order decoupling point and supply chain are studied, then the subject on manufacturing system of supply chain postponement is drew out.Thirdly, manufacturing system optimization of supply chain postponement for MC is researched. Taken postponement manufacturing system's expected customer waiting time (ET) and total cost (TC) as evaluation index, the paper constructs the target market demand change trend model using the Markov chain, then, utilizes the M/M/1 queuing model to study the system ET and TC change situation when the outside product diversification (N) increases under the CODP definite condition. Finally, analyzes system total cost optimization decision-making model under the CODP change situation.Fourthly, manufacturing system process of supply chain postponement for MC is proposed. Based on analyzing manufacturing system basic process of supply chain postponement, the paper takes the complete set which customized product needs components as the evaluated indicator, proposes a method of modeling and simulation for complete set in supply chain postponement strategy based on generalized stochastic Petri nets (GSPN), discusses supply chain postponement strategy having constrains, analyzes and recognizes their different surface, constructs manufacturing planning and control model of system considering TOC, studies re-engineering necessity to implementation postponement strategy manufacturing system, and proposes the basic principle and thought of re-engineering.Fifthly, manufacturing system evaluation of supply chain postponement for MC is reseached. The paper holds that the value stream mapping is an effective evaluation and control tool in manufacturing system of supply chain postponement. Based on the idea, the qualitative evaluation method for manufacturing system of supply chain postponement for MC is studied firstly; the quantitative evaluation method for manufacturing system of supply chain postponement for MC is proposed based on entropy theory; finally a comprehensive evaluating index system for manufacturing system of supply chain postponement for MC is established. Specific case proves that the model is feasibility and effectiveness.At last, after summing up the work of the paper, the future study direction about supply chain postponement strategy for mass customization is proposed.
