The Research Of Architecture About Design Platform For Mass Customization Based On MC

The design platform for mass customization (DPMC), which is in favor for production in mass as well as satisfies customers' individuation, is one of the main techniques for enterprises successfully implementing the mass customization. The main objective of this research is to study the structure, function of the DPMC based on an analysis of the relationship between DPMC and mass customization. Construction of the DPMC system with the Warehouse of Customization Resource (WCR) is developed and used to build Customization Model (CM), which is easily caught on by customers. A DPMC of timer have been developed, which is used to determine the applicability of DPMC for different common problems. The contents of the dissertation are summarized as follows:Chapter one is introduction. The background of modern manufacturing development is described by the three facets, which include customer, competition and change. A review of existing literatures of the Mass Customization is summarized. Based on these, the research methods and its main contents are presented.Chapter two presents the concept qf the design for mass customization, and base design methods and implementation for DFMC are studied. The mass customization can be effectively achieved through DFMC.Chapter three studies the structure; function of the DPMC based on an analysis of the relationship between DPMC and MC. Construction of the DPMC system with the Warehouse of Customization Resource (WCR) is researched. The formulation of DPMC enables to provide customer satisfaction with increasing variety and customization without a corresponding increase in cost and lead-time.HiChapter four focus on the architecture of the Warehouse of Customization Resource. The WCR provides a basis to DPMC in order to fulfill the individual requirement of customers. Building and using the Warehouse of Customization Resource are studiedChapter five is related to the Customization Model. The Customization Model is the design interface by customers, which can navigate customers to design their own products. An evaluation mathematics model about customization elements is developed which is based on studies rules of transform from products function to Customization Model.The chapter six is about the management of Customization Product. As a developing branch of systems science, self-organization can be applied to theoretical analyses on the management of Customization Product. Based on the analyses on the characteristics and forming conditions, the system of the management of CP can reach self-organization. The self-organization of management of CP provides the production project with the modes of mass production.Chapter seven is about the application of DPMC. A design platform based on Internet and common platform of management of CP are developed as the examples about the previous chapters.The last chapter is conclusion and outlook. The achievements of the dissertation are summarized, and the innovations are pointed. The future works are put forward.
