“…Operators manage the web porta l and provide searching and matching algorithms to help the demanders allocate best -fit final products or mature business services that are categorized and published in this porta l by providers. Three operation modes of resource utilization are studied in previous research, namely metabolism mode, incubation mode and outsourcing mode [17].…”

“…Although manufacturing ecosystems [4,16,17] and cloud manufacturing have been proposed in previous studies [5,18,19], it is still challenging for manufacturers to understand the practical approaches of adopting advanced technologies and collaborating with other participants in the manufacturing ecosystem. Manufacturers need to have knowledge of how and when to collabora te across organizational and geographic boundaries, and then maximize their business value [20].…”

The manufacturing industry is facing the impact of a dynamic market and intensive competition. Many companies are looking for a new approach to improve their business activities in a collaborat ive business ecosystem with other stakeholders. Cloud computing enables the sharing of manufacturing resources and capabilities between different stakeholders to support business and physical production. The purpose of this resea rch is to explore approaches moving towards a cloud manufacturing ecosystem and present possible implications for practice. To fulfil the research objectives, a multiple-case study was conducted within sheet metal manufacturing companies. Business and technology related requirements for cloud-based collaborative manufacturing porta ls were collected through interviews with industrial practitioners from the sheet metal manufacturing perspective. Based on analysis a prototype model of a CloudEcosystem was presented to demonstrate the essential features of the portals. This research found that there are three different porta l types for cloud manufacturing ecosystems depending on the value chain configuration. Close to real-time information provided by cloud-based platforms can create manufacturing ecosystems where machine owners, product designers and customers may collaborate and compete simultaneously. The CloudEcosystem designed in this research can provide a practical tool and technical solution to help manufacturers think about moving towards cloud manufacturing ecosystem s.Ecosystems, web porta l, cloud platform, business collaboration, cloud manufacturing.
