  ABSTRACT: To meet a large number of personalized demands caused by the increasing living standards of people, the production model of manufacturing enterprises has gradually shifted to small-batch, multi-variety customized production models. For customized production, the limited resources of a single manufacturing company have been difficult to independently and quickly respond to the personalized needs of high-frequency changes. It has become an inevitable choice to integrate the resources of each link in the supply chain for collaborative operation. This paper takes the production and distribution links that are at the core of the supply chain as research objects. Based on the Internet of Things technology, collaborative decision-making to support production and distribution effectively meets individual needs. Finally, the collaborative operation of the production and distribution of an air-conditioning manufacturing company is taken as an example to verify the effectiveness of the IoT-driven collaborative decision-making system proposed in this paper.
