The manufacturing paradigm has shifted dramatically over the past decade from “push” or mass production mode to “pull” or customer-driven, order-based manufacturing mode, as multitudes of customers now demand mass customization of configurable products. As a means to achieve such rapidly responsive manufacturing system, Advanced Planning System (APS) has become an essential software tool for achieving modern “build-to-order” and “configure-to-order” manufacturing environment. APS enables manufacturers to respond to variety of customer demands In real time by instantly configuring manufacturing processes based on specifications described in each purchase orders and providing capable-to-promise information directly to customer by performing rapid “what-if” manufacturing simulated scenarios. This paper discusses the working of such system as well as the business processes that incorporate such systems to enable efficient “build-to-order” environment.

오늘날 노사분규로 인한 인건비 상승, 무역마찰등의 경제환경이 변화하고 시장환경의 특성이 다품종소량생산, 시장다변화에 따른 생산계획의 빈번한 변화, Life Cycle의 단축, 단납기화, 품질의 고신뢰성 등의 추세를 따르고 있어 이에 대응하기 위해서는 생산기술과 관리기술면에서 일대 혁신이 필요합니다. 자재, 공정, 설비, 재고, 원가, 납기등을 유기적으로 연결하고 이를 하나의 체계로 관리함으로써 얻을 수 있는 생산성의 향상은 생산기술의 진보에 의하여 얻어지는 것에 비해 결코 적지않을 것입니다. 또한 생산자동화를 위한 선행조건 으로 제조관리 업무의 개선이 필요하므로 제조관리의 중요성은 아무리 강조하여도 지나침이 없다.

Research of color has been developed and also has raised consumer desire through changing from a tool to pursue curiosity or beauty to a tool creating effects in the 20th century. People have been interested in colors as a dynamic expression of results since the color TV appeared. The meaning of colors has been recently diversified as the roles of colors became important to the emotional aspects of design. While auto colors have developed along with such changes of the times, black led the color trend during the first half of the 20th century from 1900 to 1950, a transitional period of economic growth and world war. Since then, automobile production has increased apace with the rapid economic growth throughout the world and automobiles became the most expensive item out of the goods that people use. Accordingly, increasing production induced facility investment in mass production and a technology leveling was achieved. Auto manufacturing processes are very complicated, auto makers gradually recognized that software changes such as to colors or materials was an easier way for the improvement of brand identity as opposed to hardware changes such as the mechanical or design components of the body. Color planning and development systems were segmented in various aspects. In the segmentation issue, pigment technology and painting methods are important elements that have an influence on body colors and have a higher technical correlation with colors than in other industries. In other words, the advanced mixture of pigments is creating new body colors that have not existed previously. This diversifies the painting structure and methods and so maximizes the transparency and depth of body colors. Thus, body colors that are closely related to technical factors will increase in the future and research on color preferences by region have been systemized to cope with global competition due to the expansion and change of auto export regions.
