This paper presents a manufacturing network, which has been developed on the Internet, for rapid tool/die making. This manufacturing network functions like an e-technicalbroker which is able to automatically fill the gap between tool/die users and tool/die makers. This e-manufacturing network is supported by four basic novel computer-aided engineering and Internet communication-management technologies: an Intelligent Searching Agent, a customer interface, an Internet-based and Computer-Aided Design Model, and a global production planning and reasoning platform. Since the customer interface and global production planning and reasoning platform were presented in our previous papers. This paper focuses its discussions on the Intelligent Searching Agent and Internet-based and Computer-aided Design Model. A new agent search method is proposed here. This agent allows users to submit queries through a user interface and provide users with a manufacturing scheme, which includes manufacturability, competitiveness and a CAD drawing of a similar tool/die made in the past by a tool/ die-making company. A novel Internet-based and computer-aided design method is suggested to support the adaptive and concurrent tool/die making process.

“…The typical achievements among these research efforts would be the so-called design for modularity [9,10], variant design [11,12], design for manufacture [13,14], design for production management [15,57] and computer-aided process planning (CAPP) [16][17][18]. Marshall and Leaney [10] developed a systematic approach for product modularity.…”

“…Nielsen et al [15] presented an approach to separate product features and the feature interfaces to simplify the production control activities from a supply chain perspective. Yang et al [57] gave an example of integrating a CAD system with an MRP (Maufacturing Resource Planning) system based on a STEP protocol. Hence, the design choices reduced the impact on the required materials.…”

In today's global market, more and more manufacturing companies have realised that the ability to quickly develop a customised product in an economic and efficient way is critical for them to survive in the keen competitive international market, particularly for one-of-a-kind production (OKP) companies. A new generation of OKP systems needs to be developed to maintain competitiveness in the global marketplace and to improve the ability to rapidly combine the strengths of manufacturing partners to meet market needs. In this paper, the main objectives of rapid OKP development in the global manufacturing environment are discussed. The background of recent approaches for rapid development of OKP products is reviewed. After systematically reviewing the existing OKP systems and recent developments of new technology and systems, the authors discuss current issues and requirements for developing a new generation of OKP systems for rapidly producing OKP products. At the end of this paper, a reference system structure is proposed for rapid development of OKP products in the global manufacturing environment.

Computer Internet communication technology offers tremendous potential for building computer communication and software platforms for rapid development of OKP products to meet global competition. In the past few years, a variety of Internet-based systems have been developed for the purpose of Rapid Product Development (RPD). Among these systems, Internet-based "Design for X (DFX)" systems have been recognized as efficient tools for implementing concurrent engineering and playing a key role in RPD. Internet-based DFX or IDFX systems can be applied by manufacturing companies to rapidly produce high-quality products with low costs and thus higher profits. However, the implementation of IDFX systems is not an easy task. The reason is that many new techniques are involved in the application of the IDFX and the PD processes are normally sophisticated and vary with product development environments. In this paper, as illustrated by case studies, two typical applications of IDFX, i.e. Internet-based design for manufacture (IDFM) and Internet-based design for cost (IDFC) systems, are proposed for rapid and economical tool/ mould making. The structure and the key models of the systems are discussed.
