碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 工業管理研究所 === 102 === In the age of information explosion, user needs change rapidly. Cloud Computing provides virtualized resources, dynamic expandability, and innovative applications, and establishes new modes of resource usages and distributions. In recent years, manufacturing industries attempt to utilize the cloud infrastructure for the purpose of enhancing collaboration among trading partners by sharing information and resources. Thus, due to the integration throughout the products’ life cycle, trading partners will gain the benefits of high value-added applications and services, minimized cost and globalized manufacturing. Focusing on cloud manufacturing, this study applies Order Fulfillment Process to unfold the industry supply chain, and adopts the approach of collaborative development to facilitate the cooperation among trading partners. In addition, ARIS, a business process modeling methodology, and OOAD (Object-oriented Analysis and Design) are adopted to integrate the transaction processes between companies for the development of information exchange platform. As a constant commitment, auto industry must launch new automobiles to meet consumer preferences whereas the cycle time from development to market is typically long. It is one of the main issues to increase supply chain flexibility so as to quickly respond to customer needs. Focusing on the collaboration in the cloud manufacturing environment, this research will analyze the supply chain of auto industry and apply ARIS to design the information exchange platform.
