Concepts,connotations,and future research of ecologization in manufacturing systems
Currently,China's traditional manufacturing industry is under multiple pressures.How to break through pressures is a difficult problem for China's economic development.Overall,China's entire industrial chain and all elements are complete and sufficient;However,locally,manufacturing systems for traditional products often encounter low efficiency and insufficient capabilities when facing uncertainty because those manufacturing systems present as long chain forms.Therefore,it is worth studying how to integrate sufficient overall resources and idle capabilities to serve the manufacturing system facing difficulties.The business ecosystem is a multilateral cooperation mechanism that has advantages in gathering resources,promoting cross domain and multi-resource interaction and collaboration.As a governance mechanism that coordinates cross organizational relationships under complex conditions,it is of great significance in solving the difficulties faced by traditional manufacturing enterprises.However,in reality,manufacturing enterprises are influenced by traditional chain thinking and have a vague understanding of how to use the business ecosystem mode to solve problems in enterprise development.Theoretical research has been conducted on business ecosystems,but most discussions have focused on pure business ecosystem mode.The research on the fusion of business ecosystem mode into traditional manufacturing systems(i.e.manufacturing system ecologization)is still in its early stages.This paper summarizes the motivation,concepts and connotations of manufacturing system ecologization through relevant concept sorting and literature review,and proposes prospects for future research on manufacturing system ecologization.
