Abstract
Interest in global businesses and such a new form of co-operation as Virtual Production Network (VPNet) is growing along with increasing use of Internet-based engineering and management technologies, and the trend towards VPNet data & knowledge management. Affordable Cost Structure approach (ACS-approach) for VPNet configuration is a new approach to configuration of global production network in order to improve investment efficiency over total facility life-time. A kernel of this approach is a distributed multi-level constraint satisfaction technology based on a shared domain knowledge model “product — process — resources”. The paper discusses a generic methodology and a research prototype of a distributed decision support system “ProCon” for VPNet configuration.
