Abstract :
In the context of customer needs becoming individualism and diversified, mass customization has become an important production mode for modern manufacturing. As per product production cycle (focus on customization), companies organize production activities. This study, in conformity with the generic predict production module, deals with factors including forecast special module design, manufacturing and assembly process production cycle. The study establishes a production cycle prediction model based on make-to-order whereby to make an empirical analysis of Xi´an Shiky High Voltage Electric Co. Ltd. The major finding is that the average of the cycle of product manufacturing and assembly is 520 hours, showing a high accuracy for being close to reality.
