“…In contrast to that, there have been made various approaches for general network coordination, that imply the practical implementation of research [39], the idea of lean manufacturing [6], and the goal of a changeable production [40]. A more recent trend is the consideration of mass customization in DMS.…”

A growing number of manufacturing companies are working on the implementation of sustainable manufacturing and business processes. The objective of sustainable manufacturing initiatives is the creation of products by means of energy-efficient and resource-saving manufacturing systems. Furthermore, customer satisfaction will be achieved in future not only through the creation of products, but also through socially and environmentally responsible as well as economically efficient concepts of manufacturing avoiding negative effects for society. Distributed manufacturing systems (DMS) are currently discussed in science as a possible approach for the realization of sustainable manufacturing. Decentralized networks of adaptable and flexible mini-factories are not only helpful to reduce emissions through reduction of transports, but also serve for the growth and development of regional economic cycles. This paper gives an overview of trends towards DMS as well as reasons and arguments why Distributed Manufacturing Systems are appropriate concepts for more sustainable manufacturing.

Higher expectations on supply chain performance force organisations to reinvent themselves in order to cut costs and increase customer service, all to gain competitive advantage. Pursuing the best network of manufacturing, supply and distribution facilities relative to the marketplace is therefore on top of many managers' 'most wanted' list concerning supply chain management. Supply chain planners are thus in need of decision support to be able to establish feasible and sufficient plans. This article discusses how decision support through advanced planning systems (APS) can assist tactical supply chain planning. A case study is presented showing how APS can act as an enabler in adapting logistics and supply chain principles, as well as reducing costs through streamlining the supply chain. The purpose of this article is primarily to present findings from a case study regarding supply chain planning with the aid of a master planning APS module. The case study emphasises that APS in the scope of logistics management have several positive effects on supply chain performance.
