Abstract

The demand of mass customization driven by the surge of personalized demand has led to the appearance of modular production mode in manufacturing industry and the evolution of network. The closely related adaptive human capital system has undergone a similar process of modularization. In this paper, the functions and mutual relations of human capital cultivation subject are decomposed. Based on the perspective of system economy, the human capital cultivation system embedded in modular manufacturing network is constructed by analyzing the modular expression form of human capital cultivation, and the development process and significant characteristics of its agglomeration, fission and network are explained. The cooperative operation mechanism between manufacturing human capital cultivation system and modular production system is expounded, and the operational countermeasures and suggestions are put forward based on theoretical analysis and practice of manufacturing transformation and upgrading in China.
