Study on the collaborative production systematic platform for Chinese automobile manufacturing supply-demand network

Nowadays, more and more Chinese automobile enterprises realized that to be the winner of the marketing competition, all member enterprises should cooperate to pursue the maximum integral profit to realize the long-tern sustained development of their SDN (supply-demand network), instead of seeking their own maximum profits. Manufacturing process, which is related to the whole product lifecycle from product design, production arrangement, order confirmation, production plan work out and optimization, production dispatch, manufacturing implement to automobile product delivery to their customers, even including the product guarantee period, is the most important and complex part of the whole automobile SDN. On the basis of systematic investigation of several automobile manufacturing enterprises, this paper builds up an systematical frame composed of such functional modules as technology planning, flexible production plan, manufacturing implement and optimization, production dispatch and process control, which provide the platform to realize the ¿flexibility¿ allocation on coordinated manufacturing system.
