They provide customers with some maintenance capacity. While a great deal of research on product lifecycle design has been carried out, studies on the lifecycle agile supply chain (LASC) are less covered. The LASC functions, management goals, mathematical expressions and overall descriptions of the information model are discussed in this paper. The product lifecycle configuration is a core of the LASC information flow. The structure,function, manufacturing and maintenance configuration views are generated by coordinated lifecycle design. Purchase view 1 in the manufacturing phase is formed by combining the manufacturing configuration with B2B supply model, while purchase view 2 in the maintenance phase is formed by combining maintenance configuration with B2C supply model, serving the production and repair planning respectively. A prototype system has included some basic functions of this model.展开更多
