A grid-based agile process preparation system

Manufacturing enterprises are now facing serious challenges that have been evident and moreover closely associated with the dynamics of globalization. After analyzing the features of process preparation and grid technology, a grid-based agile process preparation system is presented. Firstly, the concept of digitization agile process preparation is put forward and a proposed framework to support DAPPS is followed. Secondly, with grid technology introduced into process preparation research, a six-layer agile process preparation system grid (APPSG) is constructed. Thirdly, by studying the mapping between tasks and workflow the application process of APPSG is derived. Finally, the application steps are illustrated by an example. The research in this paper, however, is beneficial to the application of manufacturing grid and information sharing of national defense industry.
