4.4.3 NETWORKED PRODUCTION

• OBJECTIVE
• Support highly dynamic networked production
  through the development of tools and methods for
  co-operative and value-added operations for
  global production capability, including the
  design and innovation of high value-added
  products.
• REQUIRED KEY COMPETENCIES
• Collaborative design, identification and
  verification of manufacturing requirements of all
  involved parties, determination and specification
  of processes as well as ICT systems
• RESEARCH FOCUS on
• Design innovation, network configuration,
  partner identification and partner development,
  networking and ramp-up and operation and
  optimisation.

Innovative Customer-Driven Product-Service Design
in a Global Environment

• Technical Content/Scope
• Commercial success of product development
  projects largely depends on the capacity of the
  design team to develop a product that is
  attractive to the future buyer. Intelligent
  customer driven innovation focuses on the
  integration of customer influence in the design
  and development process and the related demands
  for manufacturing processes. Moreover, multi-site
  and multi-nation product development is becoming
  more and more an international business.
  Companies will develop products for customers all
  over the world. Also they will develop and
  manufacture these products with partners and
  suppliers from all the continents. Intelligent
  customer-driven innovative product-service design
  in a global environment is set for new
  challenges, such as culture specific customer
  preferences, round the clock 24hour collaborative
  development, different cultures, attitudes and
  procedures for participating companies. The
  expected deliverables are tools and conditions
  for effective creation, management and use of
  knowledge-base product-services, collaborative
  design in temporary partnerships, new processes
  in virtual company networks around the world.

Innovative Customer-Driven Product-Service Design
in a Global Environment

• Funding schemes Small scale collaborative
  projects (SSCP)
• Specific features Proposals should take note of
  the available de-facto standard design tools and
  avoid unnecessary re-development. The consortia
  should include lower tier suppliers, the majority
  of which are SMEs. The topic is a precursor for
  future large-scale collaborative projects
  addressing product creation and production in
  non-hierarchical company networks. International
  collaboration, in particular within the IMS
  scheme, is encouraged.
• Expected impact Considerable reduction of
  time-to-market for new products in the next 5-7
  years, (e.g. in the machinery and white goods
  sectors), with a significant influence on product
  quality and expected improved business relations
  in a global context.
• The projects will also enable SMEs to achieve
  critical mass required to compete for major
  orders, focus on needs for mass customisation of
  products in the 21st century.

Future proposals WHAT SHOULD BE AVOIDED ?

• Pure SW development with no research,
• Pure methodology with no research and innovation
  on technology and/or pilot cases,
• Consultancy activities, without any real/proven
  industrial participation (both solution providers
  and end users)
• Local' applications with no added value at
  European level (Point and Partial solutions)

14
Future proposals CONCENTRATE ON

• Real industrial needs as determined by the market
  demand and by sustainability objectives
• Active and strong industrial participation
• Innovative HW / SW tools supporting all the
  phases of Networked production (network
  configuration, partner identification and partner
  development, networking and ramp-up and operation
  and optimisation)
• Real pilot cases on networked production (focus
  on dynamic value chains)
• Complementarity of contributions and roles of the
  actors in the value chain
• Collectively covering a number of distinct
  discrete manufacturing sectors
