| dc.description.abstract | mobile market. China recently has become the largest automobile market in the world beyond Japan and United States. Major automobile companies in the world all see China as the most important market due to its rapid growth. These companies have developed a perfect management system for automobile manufacturing that can help them operate efficiently and effectively in a highly competitive environment.
Due to limited domestic automobile market, Taiwanese automobile companies often seek oversea markets for expansion. However, how Taiwanese automobile companies can use appropriate management tools and policies to build up their oversea capabilities and smooth manufacturing processes is a critical issue.
The production system is a variety of production methods and improvement technologies such as TQM, TPM, JIT, and Lean Production. Most of these methods and technologies have been proven for manufacturing performance improvement. Based on these methods and technologies, this study tries to investigate the content of the production system established by a joint venture company through a case study. The results are summarized as follows:
＂Birth＂ technology determines the foundation of a production plant. The quality of manufacturing processes depends on whether a company can develop a common foundation to support human resources and standardization in the early stage, and use TQM, JIT, and TPM to create the production system for the management of quality, process, logistics and equipment. ＂Nurture＂ technology is the key for a production system. The philosophy of such a production system is continuous improvement that enhances internal constitution, and the human-central philosophy is also critical to eliminate waste and enhance standardization in order to achieve the objectives of quality, delivery and cost. Based on the concepts of lean production, we further propose an integrated management framework, contributing to companies that attempt to establish a new firm and production lines oversea. | en_US |
