It had been a big topic that now we need to do the effort "What to make", not"How to make" for Japanese industries. It is true but still how to make is very important for Japanese industries in the global market place. Because the soft or IP without hardware could not reach to consumer's hand or mouth. And China and other country have been challenging the Japanese core competency: the manufacturing capability and performance. Another important point is that without the right design or the blue print we can not successfully manufacture the product including software and hardware. In other words, how to make or the manufacturing means how to make the right design of the product. In this area Japan should improve and innovate further to overcome the threat by China and Asian countries. From the Business Architecture Concept point of view, there are Modular system and Integral system / Open system and Closed system. However for further innovation of manufacturing system we have to overcome the simple trade off view of such business architecture concept, particularly in the concept of "the modular system vs the integral system". I call it Virtual Vertical Integration, as a solution.
