Abstract: China’s aerospace manufacturing has gone through research and development dominated phase, development and production mixed phase, and now is entering a new phase of mass customization production driven by normalized high density emission of aerospace products, which calls for a new manufacturing mode that can simultaneously meet the major national strategy and the characteristics of China's aerospace industry. This article analyzes the direction of transformation and development in aerospace manufacturing, proposes the new aerospace manufacturing model named as final assembly pull, which the basic connotation and main characteristics are elaborated. This study proposes an implementation framework that includes four aspects: overall manufacturing control, efficient flexible assembly, complete supply chain management, and network collaborative manufacturing. It is committed to building a new aerospace product manufacturing system, achieving efficient collaboration among multi-level, multi legal person manufacturing enterprises across different regions, different networks, and different systems, improving the ability to deliver high-quality, efficient, and low-cost aerospace products, and cultivating new quality productivity in aerospace industry. The proposal of the aerospace final assembly pull manufacturing model could provide important support for the completion of major aerospace missions and the transformation and upgrading of the aerospace industry.

Key words: aerospace manufacturing, mass customization, final assembly pull, manufacturing mode, overall manufacturing department
