Organization Construction And Management For Community-oriented Collaborative Product Development

Product development in enterprise is facing more intensive challenges in today's society which is characteristic of globalized competition and complexed product. Whether can an enterprise responds to the market demands with high quality, low cost, fast speed, and can provide customers with satisfied products or not has become the vital factor for enterprise's live and death. Networked collaborative product development (NCPD), an advanced product development method, which is cross time, region and discipline, was proposed just about to adapt to these environmental changes outside enterprises. When face fleeting market opportunities, it can enable enterprise to organize human resource and material resources rapidly, and develop the new product which high quality and low cost, thereby win the competition.The construction of collaborative product development organization is the first problem in NCPD, which can determine the success or failure of the organized product development project to a very great extent. However, in the application of constructing NCDP organization, the organization member selection is still restricted in small range, which decreasing the richness of the available abilities and resources, which in turn affect the organization's performance. In recent years, various kinds of virtual community of practice, such as community of interest, innovation community and designer's alliance etc., have emerged and developed rapidly. A few of enterprise have already attempt bring these community members into product development process. Although, these enterprises'attention to the virtual community of practice is the situation that the community members can bring innovative ideas to new product development or product innovation, the trend that combine community members with product development process, and let the community member undertake the product development task directly has already emerged.So, aiming at expanding the selection range of NCPD's members to increase the organization performance, a study on construction and relevant management for community-oriented collaborative product development (COCPD) organization was made. The research contents of this study are as follows:①Aiming at the difficulties that the distributivity and diversity characteristics of the community member have brought to the traditional construction methods for collaborative product development, a management method for community member is proposed. Community member property clustering method for the leader of the community, and collaboration partner recommendation method for community members were designed respectively.②An organization construction scenario for COCPD based on agent bid and member management was proposed.③Community member's characteristic of self-interest, which was neglected in the constructing process of traditional collaborative product development organization, was specially considered and studied in the organization construction scenario, a bid negotiation model under incomplete information was constructed, and a bid negotiation flow based on genetic algorithm (GA) is developed to solve the model.④The risks of both community members and leader in COCPD organization construction were quantitatively analyzed, and the countermeasures were also briefly discussed.⑤Finally, by using JSP, JADE and MySQL, a management system prototype for community collaborative product development organization was development, and especially realized the bid process between Agents.
