摘要制造业是欧洲经济的支柱，但它受到全球化和技术进步的挑战。当前欧洲工业存在的潜在问题之一是，制造商大多是中小企业，它们很难根据动荡的需求迅速采取行动并灵活地重新配置资源。因此，在商业模式和商业做法方面实现可持续发展至关重要。为了应对这些挑战，需要进行颠覆性变革以保持竞争优势。本文介绍了一种新的实现分布式中小企业间协作的方法，即虚拟工厂。我们的目标是在可持续发展中促进创新增值制造。本文介绍了如何设计和实现一个集成的信息系统，以支持分布式中小企业制造之间的协作。
ABSTRACTManufacturing is the backbone of the European economy, but it is challenged by globalisation and technological evolution. Among the potential problems existing in current European industry are that the manufacturers are mostly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and it is difficult for them to take quick actions and relocate resources flexibly based on turbulent requirements. Therefore, it is critical to move towards sustainable development in terms of business models and business practices. In order to respond to these challenges, disruptive changes are needed to maintain the competitive advantage. In this paper, a new way to achieve collaboration among distributed SMEs is introduced, namely the Virtual Factory. Our purpose is to promote an innovative value-added manufacturing in sustainable development. This paper describes how an integrated information system can be designed and implemented to support collaboration among distributed SME manufacturing.
