Abstract
OEMs are focusing more on manufacturing critical components whereas non-critical components are outsourced to suppliers. At supplier’s side, production planning process is intervened between sales and production processes. Past experiences can be adapted to support production planning activities. Hence, it is crucial to identify knowledge from previously solved cases on demand and assimilate it. At the Information Systems Institute, various methodologies (e.g., similarity search in product and process data) are developed to support aforesaid knowledge intensive activities in sheet metal forming. However, these methodologies are used as stand-alone applications. Therefore, the current contribution introduces an integrated virtual value creation chain in sheet metal forming which utilizes previously developed methodologies. Also, these methodologies are elaborated as part of the integrated virtual value creation chain. The developed methodologies are heterogeneous and are coupled through a shared knowledge base.
