I-ESA 14 workshopICT services and Interoperability for Manufacturing
FLEXINET aims:
• To understand how best to configure and re-configure a global production network, in the context of ever changing product-service requirements.
• To provide software services that support the design and provision of flexible interoperable networks of production systems that can rapidly and accurately be re-configured
FLEXINET Supports:
• Flexible configuration of production - risk & economic management
• Decision support systems for selecting the best system network
• Product-service co-evolution

Inside the enterprise, product/service decisions can be perceived against three business process strands.
These process strands, and the necessary underlying business knowledge is inter-related
Current tools to support these strands are not well linked

Global Production Knowledge impinges on all 3 process strands
There are many potential global production network solutions
Network knowledge supports network configuration
Production Network knowledge supports early product/service viability decisions

FLEXINET emphasis on ‘early’ business decision support
There are many potential global production network solutions
Network knowledge supports network configuration
Production Network knowledge supports early product/service viability decisions
FLEXINET: especially targeted at an improved and rapid understanding of new business development opportunities

Concepts
The FLEXINET approach - Reference Ontologies
Enterprise ontologies must be built from a common
base for ease of construction, effective
interoperability and flexible re-use

Business Models
The FLEXINET approach – Business Models
Business models must address strategic issues of
cost and risk as well as operational issues. Most
importantly the relationships between these issues must be considered, as must
external global factors

11 of 13The FLEXINET approach – FLEXINET Services
analyse proposed changes in the context of the existing network inter-relationships in a simulation based “what-if” analysis of cost and risk
support network configuration based on Social, Technological, Economic, Environmental and Political factors
ensure that new product-service-production network elements remain compliant in terms of combined PLM/SLM requirements
I-ESA 14 workshopICT services and Interoperability for Manufacturing
FLEXINET: end user benefits
Improved response to customer requirements.
Radical improvements in the evaluation of the critical parameters involved in network configuration.
Reduced cost of introducing new product/service variants.
Improved scheduling and decision making within the production network.
Improved robustness of the supply network in its ability to work to forecast.
Improved energy control and optimisation.

Expected results
new methods and models to help businesses understand the complexity of global production networks and the potential impacts of change
software services that support decisions on the re-configuration of global production networks to meet product-service change requirements
reference ontologies and methods that can be standardised to support the multi-organisation interactions required in global production networks.
