“…However, there is still a considerable gap between the global product development requirements and the solutions efficiency to fulfil them (Paolucci and Sacile 2005;Tseng, Kao, andHuang 2008, Terkaj, Tolio, andValente 2009;Pritschow et al 2009;ElMaraghy and Meselhy 2009;Hesmer, Duin and Thoben 2011;Xu 2012).

“…Integration of manufacturing operations over the globe to achieve manufacturing efficiency One of the essential requirements to approach the global manufacturing paradigm is related to digital manufacturing and computer-integrated manufacturing systems (Rudberg and Olhager 2003;Paolucci and Sacile 2005;Zhou, Qiu, et al 2007;Tseng, Kao, and Huang 2008;Terkaj, Tolio, and Valente 2009;Pritschow et al 2009;ElMaraghy and Meselhy 2009;Hesmer, Duin and Thoben 2011;Zhang et al 2011;Xu 2012). The integration of manufacturing operations through enterprises is proposed to be essential for increasing the competitiveness and the ability of the enterprises for a time-efficient response to demand fluctuations in the market (Patel et al 2006;Feng and Wu 2009;Wang, Chan, and Pauleen 2010).…”

The synergy of fundamental factors like changes in governmental policies, global expansions of the manufacturing industries and improvements in technology related to reliability of manufacturing information flow have created the global manufacturing revolution in the first years of the twenty-first century. Although the concept of global manufacturing enterprise has created benefits and opportunities for today's manufacturing enterprises, it has enforced enterprises to endure costs to adopt the global manufacturing solutions. Besides, considering the researches aimed to enable the global manufacturing paradigm, there is still a need for efficient solutions to fulfil the global product development requirements. In this paper, the essential aspects and requirements of a global manufacturing approach are studied. Considering the essential requirements such as integration of manufacturing operations over the globe, maintaining manufacturing networks in distributed manufacturing enterprises, collaboration of global manufacturing agents within the networks and enabling the optimal solution systems in global manufacturing enterprises, the paper reviews the dominant researches for the global manufacturing solutions. Considering the new paradigm for global manufacturing called cloud manufacturing discussed in the latest works of the authors, the paper proposes a new manufacturing platform called STRATUS Cloud for today's global manufacturing. The architecture of STRATUS Cloud is discussed based on the cloud manufacturing paradigm to fulfil the requirements of global manufacturing platform especially in enabling the global manufacturing for adoption of optimal solution systems. The STRATUS Cloud inherits capabilities from the recent authors' researches such as collaboration support of distributed manufacturing agents over the globe and the integration of the manufacturing operation based on the STEP standard while extending its application and fulfilling STEP's limitations. The STRATUS Cloud proposes a contribution for enabling the adoption of the optimal solutions through manufacturing processes. This contribution is achieved via a manufacturing cloud reconciled with the proposed platform structure. The capabilities of the STRATUS Cloud to enable optimisation systems are discussed in different case study scenarios.
