Research on Trusted Manufacturing

The 21st century is the century of quality. The core of product competitiveness depends on the quality. One of the important issues in the manufacture is how to manufacture high quality products, which cannot only satisfy the demand of users, but also win the competition and make more living space. The existing modern advanced manufacturing modes are summarized and a new mode of advanced manufacturing technology, trusted manufacturing (TM) is put forward. The concept of TM is defined. And differences among TM, concurrent engineering and lean manufacturing are discussed. The system architecture of TM and its features are also proposed. In the end, the goal of TM and the application prospect of TM are described.
