Value Co-creative Manufacturing Methodology with IoT-Based Smart Factory for Mass Customisation

The future of productivity and growth in a highly customized production environment has received much attention by practitioners. This paper presents an innovative methodology of value co-creative manufacturing with Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart factories for mass customized rubber products in a real-time scenario. To implement the proposed system design, a three-layered business oriented model is developed to offer maximum value co-creation for 3D printing technology development by integrating cloud computing and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) related to computational social science in customized manufacturing and product design. A Japanese case application is presented to demonstrate its usefulness and flexibility for the proposed system design including a computational social scientific approach.
