A Cloud Manufacturing Service Management Model and Its Implementation
From the actual needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, this paper presents a cloud manufacturing services management model. With the transaction mode for multi-party collaboration, the workflows and core functionalities of this cloud manufacturing model were designed. Some key issues, such as intelligent matching engine for supply and demand, and transaction coordinating logic engine were discussed, which implement management of whole process for cloud manufacturing. As an example, we developed a cloud manufacturing service management platform for the industry of automobile and motorcycle, which effectively integrates manufacturing service resources in this field through online services and offline services, and achieves an effective management of manufacturing services.
