20世纪90年代末，与网络相关的技术发生了翻天覆地的变化，带来了商业环境和组织战略思维的范式转变。为了在这个不断变化的业务场景中保持竞争力，组织越来越关注业务的全球化和整个价值链中产品开发的协作。这种现象已经引起了一个新的商业概念-协同产品商务（CPC），应用网络相关技术的各种价值链的组成部分，从供应商到客户的整合。它侧重于跨企业团队在真实的时间内共享知识资本，以缩短产品开发生命周期中的上市时间。制造业是包括产品、流程、资源和工厂的中心活动。跨企业的制造活动通过真实的时间信息交换实现设计、资源和流程的优化，这符合协同产品商务的真正精神。制造业的协作方面的最重要的促进因素之一是制造过程组件的虚拟化。它涉及各种可视化和数据集成方面。为了在这一领域提供增值解决方案，必须在工程服务方面拥有全面的专业知识。本文的重点将是在协作环境中的虚拟化方面的制造。本文首先简要介绍了虚拟制造的几种重要模式，如以设计为中心的虚拟化、以生产为中心的虚拟化和以控制为中心的虚拟化。虚拟化的重要组成部分的制造，如工艺规划和设计，设备设计和工厂布局和资源管理将详细讨论。最后，虚拟化的制造在协同产品开发环境中的商业利益的意义将被考虑。
The sweeping changes in the web-related technologies in the late 1990s have brought paradigm shift in the business environment and strategic thinking of the organizations. To remain competitive in this ever-changing business scenario, the organizations are focusing more and more on the globalization of businesses and collaboration in the product development across the value chain. This phenomenon has given rise to a new business concept — Collaborative Product Commerce (CPC) that applies web-related technologies for the integration of various value-chain constituents from suppliers to customers. It focuses on cross-enterprise teams to share the intellectual capital in real time to reduce the time-to-market in the product development life cycle. Manufacturing is the central activity that encompasses product, process, resources and plant. Manufacturing activities across the enterprises with real time exchange of information result in the optimization of design, resources and processes, which is in the true spirit of collaborative product commerce. One of the most important facilitators of the collaborative aspects of manufacturing is the virtualization of the manufacturing process components. It involves various visualization and data integration aspects. To deliver value added solutions in this area, it is imperative to have thorough expertise in the engineering services. The focus of this paper will be on virtualization aspects of manufacturing in a collaborative environment. Important paradigms of virtual manufacturing such as design-centered, production-centered and control-centered virtualization will be first discussed in brief. Virtualization of important components of manufacturing such as process planning and design, equipment designs and factory layout and resource management will be discussed in details. To conclude, significance of virtualization of manufacturing in terms of business benefits in the collaborative product development environment will be considered.
