We present a structural econometric framework of supply chain information flows. The framework analyzes supply chain black boxes by measuring how input demand signals transform into output order signals. It characterizes inventory policies with impulse response functions (IRFs). We develop an algorithm to estimate these IRFs, and the structural parameters underlying them, with single firm sales...

While manufacturing industry facing tough market competition, quickly responsive and flexible Job-Shop Scheduling System, JSSS, seems more attractive in nowadays. Research and applications on JSSS were summarized in this paper. A new framework of JSSS was designed in our research. A synthetic method was used here in order for efficiency and practicality. We took advantage of Multi-Agent System ...

Ford Motor Company’s Direct Labor Management System (DLMS) utilizes knowledge representation scheme based on the KL-ONE family of languages to represent the world of automobile vehicle assembly knowledge. DLMS is an implemented system that has been utilized by Ford personnel since 1991 and it remains an integral part of Ford’s worldwide manufacturing strategy. This paper will describe the ratio...

The automobile industry today is the most lucrative industry. Due to increase in disposable income in both rural and urban sector and availability of easy finance are the main drivers of high volume car segments. Further competition is heating up with host of new players coming in and global brands like Porsche, Bentley, and Ferrari all set to venture in Indian market. This research will be hel...

In recent years, China's scientific technology and economic level have been continuously improved. The development of electric vehicles in China has led to the continuous automobile manufacturing industry. process, internal control system industry is constantly improving. However, actual operation there are still some problems managing financial costs technologically innovative enterprises. man...

The design preciseness, the material used in productivity plus the time are coming the most important factors in motor manufacturing. Consequently, the use of interior permanent magnet synchronous machines (IPM) in hybrid vehicle seemed to be the best demands. However, and due to the earth magnet materials increasing prices such as Dysprosium and Neodymium, automobile manufacturers have looked ...

The “resource-based view of the firm” has become an important conceptual framework in strategic management but has been widely criticized for lack of an empirical base. To address this deficit, we utilize a new method for identifying inter-firm differences in efficiency within the context of stochastic frontier production functions. Using data on Japanese and U.S. automobile manufacturers, we d...

Abstract Automobile mesh is a typical large plastic part prone to warping deformation in the manufacturing process, which seriously affects quality of products. The traditional method find optimal combination parameters reduce forming process through repeated trial or mold flow analysis with high cost. In this study, An optimization based on an artificial intelligence algorithm proposed optimiz...

Recently business process management has received a lot of attentions because of its potential to dramatically improve business efficiency. This paper describes an end-to-end scenario for the business process execution and monitoring for the JIT (Just In Time) schedule execution. JIT is a manufacturing method developed in Japan and later quickly spread into other countries. The purpose of JIT i...

This paper describes a previously unreported application of virtual environments – the prediction of product aesthetic quality. Successful prediction of aesthetic quality without the production of a physical prototype requires the integration of a number of ‘software’ models: an assembly model representing the manner in which the product is put together; an environment model providing a real wo...
