プロシューマーと中小製造業をつなぐ DIY サイトの試作と実証実験

抄録

Manufacturing industries face to a new movement of servitization, where the border between the producers and consumers is going to disappear. Manufacturing environment can support the service of Do-It Yourself for the end customers, so called prosumers, who try to make their own product by themselves. This study proposes a business model for the prosumers. In this study, we try to develop a cloud based SNS communication site. Some SMEs who have capability to manufacture are involved in the system of the collaboration. Then, it will be possible for the prosumer not to have knowledge of high quality management. For example, prosumer who cannot make CAD/CAM data can create a model on the website. By developing a prototype system, the paper also shows that standardization has an important role.
