“…The definition of this term is now rather industry generic and independent of the type of context. It is that EWO concerns the coordinated optimization of the operations of the full supply chain with the objectives of increasing asset utilization, maximizing profit, managing inventory levels and decreasing environmental impact (Gounaris and Grossmann, 2019). Both the challenges and solutions associated with EWO of process industries are similar to those in product development in general, and mass customization in particular.…”

“…These are the integration and coordination of information to achieve coordinated decision-making across a widely distributed (both geographically and functionally) company organization. This is achieved with modern IT tools utilizing, for example, MOO (Gounaris and Grossmann, 2019). CAE software developers have addressed EWO as having the potential to extend and advance the use of multidisciplinary design optimization systems.…”

“…Recent studies within the area focuses on e.g. scheduling and production planning within the processing industry and production planning often using mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP), but also multi-objective optimization (MOO) for dealing with conflicting objectives [4].…”

“…Whereas EWO emerges from research within processing engineering, its aims and challenges are highly applicable beyond its origin. Companies developing and producing customized product often have facilities geographically distributed, concurrent sales processes and several subcontractors, making information distribution and coordinated decisionmaking a challenge, which in EWO is achieved with modern ITtools [4]. To apply EWO to mass customization supply chains, the manual engineering activities need to be automated, as the design of the product then is taken into account in the process that is to be optimized.…”

Companies manufacturing customized engineer-to-order (ETO) products are decelerated by repetitive work, misinterpretations and uncoordinated processes which prohibits the achievement of mass customization. Being able to deliver customized product with low costs and fast delivery times, the concept of mass customization, is a prerequisite for maintained competitiveness with the demands from the market today. This paper presents a product configuration system (PCS) for customized products using design automation enabled by knowledge-based engineering (KBE) and enterprise-wide optimization (EWO). With this approach, the process from sales to delivery of customized products can be extensively rationalized. The PCS consists of two modules. The first being a configurator for use in the sales quotation stage. Here, customer requirements are captured, and used to generate alternatives feasible for the customer context. Thereby, correct quotations can be generated at the sales instance. The second module is the enterprise-wide configurator where accepted orders are concurrently optimized for their detailed and final design, considering the current state of the production and concurrent sales cases in the company. In other terms, instead of adapting the supply chain according to the design of the products in the order entry, the design of the products in the order entry are adapted according to the state of the supply chain. Thereby, resources can be efficiently utilized to the benefit of both the customer and the company, with reduced costs and delivery times. An implementation of the PCS in a case concerning spiral staircases, an ETO product, has shown potential of substantially reducing resources and errors and enable a reliable process supporting achievement of mass customization.

“…With the development of major information technologies in today's society, great innovations have taken place, but it is still striving to carry out large-scale innovations with more traditional companies, and they have also pointed out their own development with the development of the times. However, the basic purpose and requirements of human and resource coordination in business management have not changed [11]. The advent of the big data era has provided help for enterprises' strategic decision-making, and has also put forward new requirements for enterprises to process information and adjust old management models.…”

With the rapid development of our country's economy, our country's major enterprises have also paid more and more attention to strategic management. Especially in the context of the current important support for the widespread application of BDT(big data technology), the data revolution has quietly begun, which not only helps to optimize the enterprise management environment to a large extent, but also further improves the management efficiency of the enterprise. This article expounds the related concepts of BDT, analyzes the shortcomings of BDT in the current strategic management of enterprises in our country, and finally puts forward an effective way to apply BDT to enterprise strategic management through related research. By using BDT, companies can improve the accuracy of strategy formulation, better improve their own management efficiency, and reduce the workload of employees. However, for some small and medium-sized enterprises, due to the lack of big data technical talents, it is difficult to give full play to this technological advantage, which affects the improvement of their own market competitiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to study the application of BDT in corporate strategic management, take effective measures to solve the current problems in corporate strategic management, improve the level of corporate strategic management, and make improvements for the sustainable development of the company. Based on the above analysis, we can know that making full use of big datarelated technologies in corporate strategic management can effectively optimize the internal strategic management environment and efficiency of the enterprise.
