Claim 4:
5. A component manufacturing method that can be used by a component manufacturer that manufactures a wire harness, which is a vehicle component, based on a customer requirement, the method comprising:
using a main base, and a first production base and a second production base located in different regions from each other;
providing a function, by the main base, of designing a common wire harness commonly used for a plurality of vehicle product numbers and a plurality of optional wire harnesses different for each product number based on plan information from the customer;
producing, by the first production base, the common wire harness based on an order instruction from the main base,
arranging the second production base to be located closer to a delivery location designated by the customer than the first production base; and
acquiring, by the second production base, the common wire harness from the first production base, combining the common wire harness with the optional wire harness based on the order instruction from the main base, and delivering a completed wire harness to the delivery location,
wherein the main base includes a first order step of determining the number of common wire harnesses to be produced based on temporary order information and placing an order with the first production base,
a transportation step of transporting the common wire harness produced by the first production base to the second production base,
a second order step of acquiring order confirmation information from the customer at a timing closer to a delivery date than the temporary order information and placing an order with the second production base for the completed wire harness based on the confirmation information,
placing the order to the second production base by the second order function of the main base is performed at a timing after the main base determines a start of transportation of the common wire harness from the first production base to the second production base.
