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)?
