overall concept of the system <strong>in</strong>cludes sectoral, enterprise and technological levels(Fig. 4.1).Figure 4.1 In<strong>format</strong>ion flow <strong>in</strong> virtual database solution for plann<strong>in</strong>g resource-shar<strong>in</strong>gproduction <strong>in</strong> a technological resources networkThe sectoral level <strong>in</strong>volves a general description of technological features of<strong>in</strong>dustrial sector enterprises. The knowledge base connects also manufactur<strong>in</strong>genterprises, consultancy firms, educational organizations and universities <strong>in</strong> acerta<strong>in</strong> field to handle local resources for larger subcontract orders and productionvolumes.The enterprise level <strong>in</strong>cludes a specification and a detailed description oftechnological possibilities of an enterprise, <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g the export opportunities ofSMEs through technological network<strong>in</strong>g. This level <strong>in</strong>cludes data about availabilityof current resources.Technological possibilities <strong>in</strong>volve firstly the specifications of technologicalprocesses, e.g. turn<strong>in</strong>g, mill<strong>in</strong>g, drill<strong>in</strong>g, weld<strong>in</strong>g, etc. followed by a selection ofcorrespond<strong>in</strong>g subclasses. When select<strong>in</strong>g a specific subclass, one has to specifysome technological constra<strong>in</strong>ts, e.g. the bar and chuck capacity, maximal length ofwork piece, etc.Some general questions of creat<strong>in</strong>g cooperative production network can be listedas: is manufactur<strong>in</strong>g of a certa<strong>in</strong> product possible with<strong>in</strong> the network, what is theexpected production time, what are feasible logistic solutions and rerout<strong>in</strong>gpossibilities <strong>in</strong> case of emergency (equipment failure)? Those questions representthe user po<strong>in</strong>t of view to all of three cooperation levels described and should beformalized as queries to the database.44
