Integrated customer-oriented product design and process networking of supply chains in virtual environments

摘要

The paper presents a conceptual model and an engineering solution to agile building of supply chains in industrial networks through their integrated product-process driven modularising and flexible structuring. This study first presents the competence-cell-based approach that integrates the product and process modularisation-driven postponement and flexible supply chain structuring. Subsequently, the elaborated engineering solution to an integrated product-process driven modularising and structuring of supply chains is presented. With the results of this study, customer-oriented product design and customer-oriented networking of supply processes have been brought to a joint consideration.
