Abstract

　Along with increase a variety of customer needs, treating of mass-customization is more topicality. However, for increasing variety of product to receive customer requirement, paradigm should be changed to be able to consider business according to circumstances. This paper proposes an improvisational approach for manufacturing management to respond flexible customer request. Also this approach is examined through some examples as realizing this consideration. As result, the effectiveness of this proposal is discussed through FBOM (fundamental bill of manufacturing) that can manage variety’s master data, managing the processing of an order with undetermined specifications, SEIBAN type production management and EDS (event driven simulation), and also manufacturing information system that adopts an improvisational approach.
