| Research Abstract |
This research investigated seru production situation in Japan, USA, and China. After visiting a lot of factories, we found difficulties fronted by Japanese electronics makers. We show that seru is a highly flexible, productive, and agile manufacturing organization, which has brought huge benefits to industries. Applying a seru system is an approach to achieve mass customization via a just-in-time organization system (JIT-OS). Design a robust JIT-OS is the key for successfully managing a seru system. We show that the design problem of a JIT-OS is NP-hard. This research constructs a dynamic JIT-OS model to maximize expected profit under stochastic production demands and uncertain product types. By detailed computation, we conclude that seru systems are not only robust, but can also prosper under volatile business environments.
