Research on the configuration of collaborative product commerce and the feature analysis model in manufacturing enterprises

Manufacturing enterprises require a coordination environment in order to synchronize the processes of the whole product life cycle. It can be achieved by using Collaborative Product Commerce (CPC). On the basis of illustrating the nature, its evolvement and development of CPC, this article analyses CPC's configuration, including its essential configuration, whole configuration, collaboration configuration and logical view of cooperation basic configuration. The applications of CPC in the manufacturing enterprise are discussed. A manufacturing system general model is built based on CPC, which includes the five element set of Goal, Feature, Typology, View, and Process1. The four models of Process/Feature/View, Process/Typology/View, Process/Typology/Goal,and Process/Feature/Goal are built further
