Dispersed Manufacturing Networks can act as organizational manifestation for collaboration and coordination across loosely connected agents. Industrial networks provide an answer to the current challenges of innovative potential, responsiveness and flexibility through their capability for absorbing change and capturing market opportunities. This e-book gives new perspectives by looking at Dispersed Manufacturing Systems from the point of view offered by complex systems theory. Furthermore, some contributions elaborate on the issues for coordination and planning and offered new solutions, for logistics issues and for developing cooperation in engineering networks; these methods and tool will offer pathways to develop integrative approaches. In addition, the impact of globalization is discussed for both managerial decision-making and operational performance of supply chains. All contributions show the need for continuous decision-making and that networks of loosely connected agents require different approaches.
