The Research on the Future Perspective and International Comparison of Automotive Production System Evolution and Innovation

在关注全球汽车行业竞争的今天，我们面临着一个新的阶段，在这个阶段，我们必须探讨在各种合并和联盟之后发生的全球汽车重组的内容。在这个过程中，主要汽车制造商之间不断制定全球平台战略。在这种趋势下，汽车制造商如何通过柔性生产来提升自身的手价值，快速响应市场变化，成为一个日益重要的问题。另一方面，由于零部件模块化战略在不断进步的环境战略和激烈的成本竞争下向更高水平发展，世界零部件行业的重组也在推进。在这种情况下，生产系统的演变和创新变得更加突出，因此，我们一直在进行这三年的产品开发系统、供应商系统和人力资源管理方面的研究，特别是汽车产品开发。我们正在进一步发展我们对整体架构概念及其演变和分歧的研究，以及通过使用数字工程将产品开发系统与生产系统集成的研究。我们也一直在分析随着零部件行业的全球化，从形式和结构到交易方式的变化。此外，我们一直在研究生产制度创新与人力资源开发、更大的就业流动性和再培训问题之间的关系。

Now as we focus on the global competition in the worldwide auto industry, we are confronted with a new stage in which we must probe into the contents of the global automotive reorganization that has taken place after the various consolidations and alliances. In this process there is the ongoing development of global platform strategies among the main automobile manufacturers. Together with this trend, it has become an increasingly important issue as to how automakers can enhance their hand value and respond speedily to changing market by flexible production.On the other hand due to the strategy of parts and components modularization developing to a higher level under the progressing environmental strategies and harsh cost competition, the reorganization of world component industry is also advancing. Under this situation, the evolution and innovation of the production system has become more eminent, therefore, we have been developing these three years of research on the product development system, supplier system, and human resource management, with special reference to automobile product development. We are developing further our research on the concept of integral architecture, its' evolution and divergence, and the integration of a product development system with a production system through the use of digital engineering. We have been also analyzing changes in the Keiretsu supplier system change from its form and structure to its dealings accompanying the globalization of the component industry. In addition we have been doing research on the relationships between production system innovation and human resource development, greater employment liquidity, and the retraining problem.
