NeeReceived: 31 October 2014 / Accepted: 22 January 2015By- Pramesh Anuragi Roll No. 1404008PGDMM-01The aim of this Paper is :-Depict the evolutionary process of these AMSsReveal the relationship between these AMSs and the societal factorsDiscussion Points :-Brief overview of the development process of AMSsTriview evolution analysis model of AMSs which includes aspects of the degree and scope of resource sharing,value creation, and the degree of user participationRole of Cloud Computing Technology and Cloud Intelligence Developing process of AMSs towards socializationThe paradigms of manufacturing industry with enterprise informatization involves the following five stages:

Automation equipment replacing pure manual operations,A variety of automation equipment composing the rigid automation production line, Automation of the whole production process in an enterprise would appear after introducing manufacturing execution systems, Automation cover the production system(i.e., Flexible or reconfigurable manufacturing systems) and business system of an enterprise for the unpredictable, high-frequency market changes, and Information integration and resource sharing are popularizing among different industries and enterprises for the demand of personalized customizationTo promote enterprise informatization and overcome the above difficulties and challenges -Brief overview of the development process of AMSsContinues.

What is the evolution process of AMSs that appears to have been driven by the changes in techniques, demands and societal environment? Moreover, what are the characteristics which can be found from the evolution process?For these issues, a Tri-view Evolution analysis model of AMSs is established from the following three dimensions: The degree and scope of resource sharing, The value creation, and The degree of user participationTri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsThe resource sharing primarily includes two partsProduction-related resourceRaw materials and semi-products,Manufacturing equipment and related design and Manufacturing software/ application system or tools, and dataProduct-related resourceSoft and hard resources involved in the process of transportation,Sales, maintenance and repair, recycling, and end-of-lifeTreatment of a product, as well as the involved intellectual and knowledge resourcesDegree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participationTri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsFrom the perspective of the degree and scope of resource sharing, AMSs have gone through the following three phases:-Resource sharing within an enterpriseResource sharing among enterprisesResource sharing among industries and across regionsDegree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participationTri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsEvolution process of mfg. resource sharingDegree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participation

Tri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsResource sharing within an enterpriseIt is the initial stage of manufacturing enterprise informatizationA number of manufacturing modes and systems have appeared for realizing the aims of resource sharing within an enterpriseThe typical representatives are FMS, CIMS, and RMSAdvantagesCut the budget on resource procurement,Reduce production costsShorten production cycle, and Respond to customers demands with greater flexibility.Degree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participationTri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsResource sharing among enterprisesUnder the scenario of global competition and customized demands, manufacturing agility has become increasingly importantSharing resources alone within an enterprise itself is not sufficient to provide agile response to the rapidly changing market demandsThe enabling factors in becoming an agile manufacturer are:Support technology that enables marketers, designers and the production personnel from different enterprises or organizations to share their soft resources and knowledge Development and application of the technologies such as concurrent engineering, and virtual enterprise or dynamic alliance, that allow different enterprises to share their hardware resources

Degree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participationTri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsResource sharing among industries and across regions :It is the expansion on the concept of enterprise alliance and collaboration In this phase, manufacturing enterprises promote the integration of MRs&Cs among different industries and across different regions in the form of service The service-oriented manufacturing (SOM), such as cloud manufacturing (CMfg) and manufacturing grid (MGrid), is a computing and service-oriented manufacturing model developedDegree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participationTri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsThere are three core common phases for the implementing of a SOM system Perception and internet connection of Manufacturing resource and capability and gathering Aggregation, management, and optimal allocation of Manufacturing resource and capability in the form of Manufacturing serviceUse of Manufacturing serviceThere are primarily three category users of the service platform in a SOM system manufacturing resources and abilitiesProviders, Operator and Consumers.Degree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participationTri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsThe purpose of manufacturing is to create valueValue creation and adding can be achieved from the activities allocation in the value chain The evolution of value creation of AMSs covers the following three changesChanges in the carriers of value creationChanges in the measuring criteria of value Changes in the composition of value chain and enterprise collaborationDegree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participationTri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsChanges in the carriers of value creationBefore the 1980s, manufacturing enterprises and customers jointly create value through the transactions of specific productsthe value creation process has begun to include additional services The evolution of the carriers of value creation is changing from product, to product and service, and to service and societyDegree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participationTri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsEvolution of Products and services in the carriers of value creationDegree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participation

Tri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsChanges in the measuring criteria of valueIn the theory of the firm, value creation is based on cost minimization or profit maximizationIn the consumer theory, it uses utility to measure consumers degree of satisfaction of consumption With the emergence of Time, Quality, Cost, Service, Flexibility, Environment, Knowledge, and other competitive factors, merely reducing production costs to gain more profit cannot meet the demand from the enterprise to cope with the fierce competitionMore enterprises evaluate their value creation comprehensively with the multi-attribute utility theory in addition to cost minimization or profit maximization, the sustainability, green and environment friendliness, and energy efficiency have been emphasizedDegree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participationTri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsChanges in the composition of value chain and enterprise collaborationBefore collaboration or the early stage of enterprise collaboration and alliance, an enterprise complete all or most of the manufacturing and operational activities in the entire life cycle of a product by itselfIt makes the enterprise very large, rigid and lack flexibility Specifically, the enterprise collaboration chain driven by the core or leading enterprises within an industry or in a region is expanding to enterprises collaboration networks (ECNs) among different industries or across different regions Enterprise collaboration in ECN is the necessary means for manufacturing enterprises to add agility into the value creation network and to enhance their own economic situationDegree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participationTri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsThe evolution of the degree of user participation in AMSs can be divided into the following three phasesBuy :- The role of the user is just a buyer and there is almost no interaction between manufacturers and consumersBuy and choose :- In order to overcome the shortage of mass production that cannot meet the customers diversifying demands, manufacturers devoted to producing greater variety of products that are closer to consumers demands, marked by mass customizationBuy, choose and design :- Driven by the specific customized and personalized demands, and with the application of new technologies such as 3D printing, in addition to buying and choosing, the interaction behavior of consumers as designers in the enterprise production has become more commonDegree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participationTri-view evolution analysis model of AMSsEvaluation of User Participation:-Degree and scope of resource sharingValue creationDegree of user participation

Role of Cloud Computing Technology and Cloud Intelligence Developing process of AMSs towards socialization

With the support of cloud technology, various manufacturing resources and capabilities distributed in different physical places can be shared and on-demand used in the form or service by all the social usersAlong with the development of global manufacturing and cooperation, global supply chain management, the manufacturing problems or tasks to be solved and faced by modern manufacturing enterprise are more complex than these in traditional manufacturing modelThe socialization process of AMSs cannot be realized without the support of enterprise information systems (EISs), such as such as PDM, CAPP, ERP, SCM, CRM, which are widely used for data and process management and application in a product entire lifecycle in modern enterprisesSummary of socialization evolution of AMSs
