Application of Information Systems in Collaborative Manufacturing

The Information Economics and its platform can input the vigor into manufacturing industry, i.e. garment industry, and help to increase its ability for good return. can promote the level of technology and management of Garments from a labor-intensive industry, and can move it toward the accurate management. The platform is designed as Comprehensive Information Platform by our research team. This paper is one of the series of papers about the design of Agile Infrastructure for Collaborative Manufacturing and Agile Supply Chain by us. This one lays emphasis upon the design of business resources planning model in manufacturing system. The main subsystem in the platform includes the design of distribution resource planning subsystem, the design of material purchase management subsystem, and the design of production control subsystem. Their logical relationship and flow chart designs are elaborated in turn. The paper tries to introduce the research of Agile Infrastructure and its key technologies, showing how well they work in some traditional manual industries.
