Technology For Mass Customization Information Systems Technology Research And Implementation

More and more manufacture enterprises implement the plan that transform Mass Production into Mass Customization (MC) due to the pulling of market demand and the pushing of technological advance. However, the Mass Customization is now usually researched and applied in the field such as: configure functions of product and variety design product by using CAD and PDM, customize customer's demand by using electronic commerce platform; the process planning and process information system which connects design and manufacture are researched less. Therefore, we should to research and develop process information system for implementing MC in order to satisfy the need of process planning and process information system as soon as possible. The Main points of this paper as follows:(1)Put forward the point that developing process information system for implementing MC is very essential, after analyzing the investigations and applications of MC and process information system.(2)Research the basic principle, systematized techniques and the development planning technology of MC.Reveal the kernel intension and support technology of MC by researching the basic principle and the development planning technology of MC. The principle includes similarity, reuse, and etc. The development planning technology includes standardization technology and group technology and etc.(3)Research the basic character of MC process information system.According to the development planning technology of MC, proposes and researches the basic character of MC process information system, such as: the group process planning based on the similarity principle, system integration based on the process information share and computer aided norm of working hour management.(4)Research the key technology of MC process information system.Through the aspects of implementation environment, implementation mechanism and implementation procedure, research the key technology of MC process information system, include: process planning based typical process, parameterization process planning based on part design parameter, concurrent process planning based on PDM and modularization norm of working hour management based on the type of work in production.
