在資訊擴張迅速，存取需求改變的現今，立基於網際網路的雲端運算（Cloud Computing）提供客戶端動態可擴展性、虛擬化的隨選資源以及創新的應用，建立全新的資源配置及使用模式。近年來，製造業企圖利用雲端架構，在廣泛的網路資源環境下，與合作廠商共享資訊，實現製造資源與服務的開放協作，有助於對產品由開發到銷售使用全生命周期的整合，為產品提供高附加價值、低成本以及全球化製造的優勢。
針對雲端製造(Cloud Manufacturing)的環境下，本研究應用訂單履行流程(Order Fulfillment Process)展開產業供應鏈，並導入協同開發概念，使上下游廠商合作更為緊密。再則，應用流程分析法(Architecture of Integrated Information System)及物件導向分析與設計(Object-oriented Analysis and Design)，整合廠商之間交易流程，以設計資訊交換平台。
對於開發到上市週期漫長的汽車產業，如何增加供應鏈彈性以快速回應市場需求，是極為重要的議題。本研究以汽車產業為例，展示在雲端製造環境中，如何應用協作模式以及ARIS優化產業供應鏈，並且設計合作廠商共用的資訊交換平台。

In the age of information explosion, user needs change rapidly. Cloud Computing provides virtualized resources, dynamic expandability, and innovative applications, and establishes new modes of resource usages and distributions. In recent years, manufacturing industries attempt to utilize the cloud infrastructure for the purpose of enhancing collaboration among trading partners by sharing information and resources. Thus, due to the integration throughout the products’ life cycle, trading partners will gain the benefits of high value-added applications and services, minimized cost and globalized manufacturing.
Focusing on cloud manufacturing, this study applies Order Fulfillment Process to unfold the industry supply chain, and adopts the approach of collaborative development to facilitate the cooperation among trading partners. In addition, ARIS, a business process modeling methodology, and OOAD (Object-oriented Analysis and Design) are adopted to integrate the transaction processes between companies for the development of information exchange platform.
As a constant commitment, auto industry must launch new automobiles to meet consumer preferences whereas the cycle time from development to market is typically long. It is one of the main issues to increase supply chain flexibility so as to quickly respond to customer needs. Focusing on the collaboration in the cloud manufacturing environment, this research will analyze the supply chain of auto industry and apply ARIS to design the information exchange platform.
