Research On Modular Production Organization Pattern For Mass Customization

Mass customization is a kind of production mode for customizes products want on quantity to the individual customer or multivariate small batch markets based on the mass production with high efficiency, the appearance of mass customization theory makes the manufacture receive a new development. However, the production mode of Mass Customization put forward very high request for enterprises, it is very difficult for enterprises to achieve the diverse and individual demand of customer and realize the low cost and high efficiency of enterprises at the same time. Therefore, how to lower the cost of mass customization and improve the efficiency of mass customization are still the main questions faced by mass customization.Modular and postponement are the two tactics for realizing mass customization; especially the modular design embodies the stronger superiority in the mass customization, and has the important significance for the questions of time and cost faced by mass customization that is a new production pattern during the course of application. But the application of modular at present more deals with the technical aspect of modular, the research that applying the modular as a new production pattern to the mass customization is very sparse.The concept of modular production pattern is advanced on the basis of comparative analyzed of traditional production pattern, and it is thought of the more effective production organization pattern of realizing the low cost and high efficiency of mass customization, and the research is done about the question that the choice of modular production tactics of mass customization and the inner organization pattern and outer organization pattern of modular production. About the choice of modular production tactics of mass customization, the Analytic Hierarchy Process has been used in this paper to do the choice of modularity being made in home, purchase from outside, cooperating with others or outsource; the outer organization pattern of modular production of mass customization analyzes the establishment method of enterprises alliance based on networked manufacturing; the research about the inner organization pattern of modular production of mass customization is done mainly from two aspects of the spatial organization and time organization, the research of the spatial organization analyzes the establishment of modular production cellular and their principle of laying-out, and the time organization mainly studies the pre-introjections...
