Abstract
A comprehensive review is given of recent research on developing Web-based manufacturing systems. First, the key issues in developing Web-based manufacturing systems, including collaboration among product development partners, data modelling, system architecture design, and security management, and researches to address these key issues are presented. Then various approaches of developing Web-based manufacturing systems are introduced to show how these approaches can improve the efficiency and quality in product design, production, life-cycle integration, enterprise management and customer service. Problems of the currently developed Web-based manufacturing systems and future work for developing the next-generation Web-based manufacturing systems are subsequently discussed.
