“…In the SME-dominated construction industry, this is expected to lead to a rapid uptake of ICT technologies by SMEs. Surveys have shown that the cost of technology-heavy e-business solutions is the biggest barrier for smaller companies to enter the global e-business community [2]. The e-Hub concept removes this barrier and adds economy of scale to globally operating SMEs.…”

“…Although collaborative virtual environments (CVE) hold major promise for the execution of collaborative engineering projects, the potential added-value, viability and practicality of these generic platforms have not been proven in the formation and execution of agile eEngineering partnerships [2]. The reasons are manifold, ranging from inappropriate implementation to missing theoretical and methodological foundations of the collaboration process.…”

Many Information Technology (IT) tools now exist to support collaborative working between engineering organisations. These often address operational issues rather than tactical or strategic issues. In particular, there are no effective tools for collaborative project planning between project partners. An electronic engineering hub (e-Hub) is considered useful in this regard. This paper presents the functional architecture of the eHub -a major research result of the EU funded e-HUBs project (e-Engineering enabled by Holonomic and Universal Broker Services). The e-HUBs project developed a universal collaboration platform for engineering outsourcing with focus on supporting collaborative project planning process. The e-Hub offers an extended set of functions to engineering service providers (mostly small and medium-sized enterprises) such as application hosting and definition and development of collaborative engineering workflows. The paper discusses the theoretical background and the supporting technologies for the development of the functional architecture and presents the deployment of the engineering e-Hub prototype in a construction scenario.

“…With the exception of textile and candy industries, the implementation of ACP would not be a difficult task in industries like automotive, electronics, aviation, construction and medical equipment (Noguchi andHernandez-Velasco 2005, Shevchenko andShevchenko 2005). However, its success depends on the strategic changes to be inculcated in the attitudes of the management.…”

This paper reports a research which was pursued with the purpose of indicating the need of amalgamating mass customisation and agile manufacturing principles for achieving competitiveness in organisations. The research findings and observations on these principles were used to design a model named as agile customisation programme. The implementation study of this programme was conducted in an electronics switches manufacturing company situated in India. The practical implications of this programme were studied by gathering feedback from the executives of this company. The details of these works are briefly presented in this paper. Further, the practical implications were used to propose a roadmap. Future researchers may adopt this roadmap and implement this programme in various types and sizes of companies. The performance of this programme in those companies shall be measured using agile manufacturing metrics such as responsiveness, time compression, quality improvement and profitability.

Information availability and data transparency are key requirements from manufacturers when supporting products throughout the life cycle, for example, when implementing product service systems. The application of embedded wireless technologies into printed circuit boards can help by bridging current knowledge gaps in order to minimise both technical and financial risk through: reduced product downtime, improved quality of tracking, and enhanced end-of-life decision making. The application of an embedded radio frequency identification device into printed circuit boards for life cycle monitoring of electronic products to support product service systems is discussed in this article.
