Internet-based Collaborative Design, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain for Manufacturing Companies

Abstract

Collaborative framework in manufacturing has drawn wide attention. There exist huge methods and discussions on this topic under designing, supply chain, and manufacturing. With a motivation to improve system efficiency and give higher capital turnover, this work provides the following two parts. Firstly, this work designs a collaborative framework and methods in the designing, supply chain, and manufacturing. Next, this work plans potential collaboration methods with any two of those three components and gives illustrations. The result of this work, the six designed framework and methods aims to potentially achieve the intelligent and automated production logistics system, the entire process information management, fast capital turnover, transparent cost, accurate, smart manufacturing system, and the intelligent interconnection of equipment and human-machine systems with the least investment, quick output, and large output.
