Research Of Commonality For The Product Customization System

With the rapid advance of science and economy, the drop of product life circle, thediversification of customer requirement and the fierce market competition brings about masscustomization mode. The core of mass customization is to provide customers with diversifiedproducts, as well as to reduce the internal diversification of the enterprise in order to reduce productcost and improve product quality. Commonality is a main approach to reduce the internaldiversification. Improving the commonality of product structure, resource (knowledge, staff,equipment, and material), process, and organization can reduce the internal diversification andproduct cost under the procedure of production.This thesis systematically researched the commonality factors of product customizationsystem in terms of product life circle. Applying the theories and methods of complex network, thecommonality of product process and structure was studied based on database of product processand structure, and the process reengineering and rationalization of the product structure wereanalyzed. The main research content of this thesis lists as follows:The first one was the introduction of the generation and development of the masscustomization mode, definition of commonality and review on the measure method, as well as thecontent and significance of this thesis.Then the commonality factors of product customization system were systematically andcomprehensively studied in terms of product life circle, based on which the emphasis was laid onthe product process commonality and the product structure commonality. The product processreengineering and product structure optimum method was analyzed.Next based on process database, the process network was built applied the complex networktheory. Process commonality and process-beam commonality was argued through the analysis ofnetwork parameter. On these bases, commonality of component features, product processreengineering and facility layout approach were researched.At last through the analysis of network parameter, commonality of component was improvedbased on the product structure database and product structure network applying the complexnetwork theory, rationalization method was proposed based on the analysis of relationship betweencomponents and process.
