Study on Collaborative Innovation Management Model of Automobile Complex Products Based on Product Total Lifecycle

Faced with the quick development of advanced scientific techniques and manufacturing techniques, China must speed up its complete change process from ldquosuper manufacturing countryrdquo to ldquoinnovation powerful countryrdquo. As one of the national pillar industries and the representative of complex product, automotive industry has already marched towards complete independent innovation. Nevertheless, automotive manufacturing enterprises always keep the innovation process tightly sealed in its internal environment, and would not like communicate and cooperate with other organization, especially with their competitors. Current product R&D systems flood with such phenomena as confused processes , obscure guidance, department barriers and trust crisis. Undoubtedly, they will restrict the optimized and controlled effects of progress, quality and cost factors of innovation process. Firstly, this paper summarized the problems of the current innovation management system of Chinese automotive manufacturing enterprises, and then made analysis to mutual relationship and collaboration factors of enterprises´ internal departments and enterprise external organizations in R&D process. Finally, this paper built up the collaborative innovation management model of automobile complex product based on total product lifecycle. This model will be of momentous significance for product R&D process of Chinese automotive manufacturing enterprises.
