Expansion to a Multi-item Production Planning System for Implementing Mass Customization

Production Planning System with Multi-Stages for Controlling Bullwhip Effect by Using Particle Swarm Optimization

“…The production planning problem is the product problem of the supplier corresponding to the order environment caused by mass customization. Because the problem (4) extends problem (5) to the multi-commodity problem, therefore the character and convergence etc. of a solution are discussed in detail to the subject particular of the multicommodity problem.…”

“…However, actually, the distribution form of demand is unknown actually, and may be unable to specify. In this paper, we describe the solution method of the production planning problem (4) (5) without assuming the distribution form of demand. That is, the relation to the form both the insufficient attainment rate and inventory transition (4)(5) is described.…”

“…This mass customization is a management system which produces efficient specified customer requested products with diversification in which the products are outside the catalog (1)(2) (3) . The design method of a new production planning system (Mass Customization Production Planning System: MCPS) has been proposed by the supplier between the maker in the manufacturing industry, and a processing assembly type supplier (4) (5) . 1) The lead time customer request (delivery lead time) includes the case it is shorter than the lead time producer need to products (production lead time).…”

Proposal of Load Leveling Model for Implementing Mass Customization in Automobile Industry

“…The model (5) is expanded as a diversified production problem (6) , moreover the solution's character and the converging behavior about a peculiar problem of the diversified production problem are mainly discussed here. However in a mass customization environment estimated with drastic change of orders, a new collaboration by not only the supplier but also both the maker and supplier should be established (7) .…”

“…A design method of the new production planning system (Mass Customization Production Planning System: MCPS) has already been developed for the supplier's production plan-Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing JAMDSM Vol.1, No.2, 2007 ning between the maker and its primary subcontracting factory (processing assembly supplier) in automobile industry (5) (6) : 1. It contains the case that the lead time demanded by customers until delivery (delivery lead time) is shorter than the necessity lead time for the maker to produce (production lead time); 2.…”
