Abstract—Agile of physical manufacturing unit is the<br />

competitive advantage in the networked manufacturing<br />

environment. It is believed that the agile can be reached by<br />

optimization deployment of networked manufacturing<br />

resources. To solve this problem, logical manufacturing unit<br />

(LMU) and logical manufacturing process (LMP) are put<br />

forward and defined to decompose and model networked<br />

manufacturing task according to the process of complex<br />

part. When selecting manufacturing resources for these<br />

manufacturing tasks, many factors should be taken into<br />

account. However, manufacturing cost, time to market and<br />

manufacturing quality are the most important factors. In<br />

this paper, networked manufacturing resources pre-allocate<br />

is carried out to find candidate manufacturing resources<br />

based on abilities of manufacturing resources, such as part<br />

family, geometric feature, material type, rough type,<br />

dimension range, machining method, precision grade and<br />

production type. Then, taking transportation time and cost<br />

besides manufacturing time, cost and quality into<br />

consideration, the target and constraint of manufacturing<br />

resources optimization deployment are analyzed, and<br />

manufacturing resources optimization deployment problem<br />

is considered as a multi-objectives optimization problem.<br />

I. INTRODUCTION<br />

With the development of network and information<br />

technologies, the manufacturing of complex products can<br />

be achieved based on agile manufacturing through<br />

collaborating of enterprises. In this paper, the model of<br />

networked manufacturing resources optimization<br />

deployment was built in considering the processing cost,<br />

time, manufacturing quality [1]. But in the networked<br />

manufacturing environment, the physical manufacturing<br />

units are geographically distributed, so transportation<br />

cost and time between different physical manufacturing<br />

units are significant enough not to be ignored, and should<br />

be taken into consideration[2]. Thus, the model of<br />

networked manufacturing resources optimization<br />

deployment was much more complicated [3]. This<br />

resembles the partner selection in virtual enterprise, but<br />

there were many differences. In our views, before those<br />

factors were considered, manufacturing resources<br />

abilities such as part family, geometric feature, material<br />

type, rough type, dimension range, machining method,<br />

precision grade and production type, which can be<br />

realized by physical manufacturing units, should be<br />

taken into consideration. We call this process as the<br />

networked manufacturing resources pre-allocate[4].<br />

II. NETWORKED MANUFACTURING TASK<br />

DECOMPOSITION AND DESCRIPTION<br />

Definition 1: Physical manufacturing unit (PMU) is<br />

composed of all physical equipments located at the<br />

same place, including machining equipments, fixture<br />

accessories, and computers and so on. The basic<br />

information of PMU includes location information,<br />

workshop name, enterprise name, typical products,<br />

personnel information, contact method and other main<br />

information.<br />

A. Designing logical manufacturing unit<br />

Definition 2: Logical manufacturing unit (LMU)<br />

expresses the manufacturing sub-process, and is defined<br />

as the aggregation of work procedures. The<br />

information model of LMU is described by eight<br />

elements: LMU(Pf,F,Ma,R,D;Mach,Pre,Pro).<br />

Where: Pf expresses part family; F expresses<br />

geometric feature; Ma expresses material type;R<br />

expresses rough type; D expresses dimension range;<br />

Mach expresses machining method; Pre expresses<br />

precision grade; Pro expresses production type.<br />

From the definition of LMU and the characteristics of<br />

these eight elements, a LMU has the following<br />

characteristics: All elements inside a LMU have close<br />

relationship each other, but the relationship between<br />

every two LMU-s is loose; each work procedure is<br />

included in a LMU, but a LMU can include several work<br />

procedures [5].<br />

B. Designing logical manufacturing process<br />

Definition 3: Logical manufacturing process (LMP)<br />

is defined as the abstract description of the whole<br />

production procedure of a complex part. It is composed<br />

of a sequence of some LMU-s and the dynamic<br />

information of each LMU, namely the restrictions of<br />
