Supply chain operation and performance evaluation based on networked manufacturing

The networked manufacturing aims to satisfy customerpsilas individual demands. It has three-tier architecture: customer server-Web server-logic server and it realizes the functions of individual customization and cooperative design. The supply chain based on networked manufacturing is distinguished from the traditional supply chain. It unfolds its operation by the supporting of technique center. Networked manufacturing-based supply chain employs B/S(Browser/ Server) structure. It can realize the functions of product search, goods order, inventory search and customer support, etc. From the perspective of information flow, material flow, funds flow and resource sharing ability, the methods of grey relation and information entropy were used to evaluate the performance. Through the performance analysis of a numerical example, the methods were proved to be valid for performance evaluation.
