| Manufacturing industry and enterprise informatization are faced with the problems of there existing a waste of manufacturing resource, existing Resource Island, closed information system, high cost for system development, bad ability of system reconstruction and user reconfiguration, and poor adaptability for the market's change. At the same time, market competition puts forward an urgent need of a networked manufacturing environment, which could realize a wide range of resource sharing among enterprises, and achieve agile combination of the upstream and downstream enterprise chain. Therefore, Manufacturing Grid (MGrid) technology is proposed as a solution to the above problems, which will ultimately lead to virtual enterprise alliances within the industry or the region, and form a new enterprise relationship which meets modern requirements of both competition and cooperation. More living space will be gained by manufacturing enterprise to survive in the competitive market, and it will provide customers with better services.The research of MGrid currently focuses on theoretical research level, such as the architecture of MGrid, resource sharing method, and resource management and scheduling. It has been paid little attention to the research of MGrid demonstration application in industry or region. Besides, current MGrid implementations commonly have poor reusable ability. Aiming to the existed problems of current research of MGrid, related key technologies and application for MGrid resource sharing are studied in this dissertation. Following the route of technical research to application research, the main work and contributions of this dissertation are as follows:(1) Related key technologies of MGrid are studied, including the conception and connotation of MGrid, manufacturing resource modeling, information management, Quality of Service (QoS), optimal configuration for resource service, information security technology, and so on. A three-layer MGrid architecture is presented, which consisted of the infrastructure layer, the middleware layer, and the application layer. Then, collaborative services achieved by group collaboration among in the whole process of manufacturing activities are summarized.(2) Service Component Architecture (SCA) is studied, and then a Component Development Platform (CDP) tool is implemented, which can handle the software component creation, management and composition. Using CDP tool, source code framework can also be generated automatically, and the application system can be set up rapidly. A collaborative product manufacturing is modeled using the idea of software component. Then, based on the methodology of Component based development (CBD), a prototype of collaborative production manufacturing system is implemented.(3) A collaborative fault diagnosis system for manufacturing equipment (CFDS) based on MGrid is researched, which integrates different fault diagnosis resources from equipment supplier, equipment user and partners, including computing resources, storage resources, information resources, knowledge resources, and expert resources, to perform the analysis of fault data. The architecture and working mechanism of CFDS system is proposed, and the problem of data management and data transferring is solved. Finally, the prototype of CFDS system is implemented based on a data management middleware.(4) A collaborative supply chain service system (CSCS) based on MGrid is proposed. A supplier evaluation method (SEM) is presented, which considered four factors (Price, Quality, Credit, and Service). Based on SEM, an optimal selection algorithm which aims at improving service quality is proposed, which could select a best supplier for manufacture. The problems of communication and order monitoring in the procurement process are solved by the CSCS system. Guided by procurement workflow, the manufacturer and the supplier achieve the procurement information sharing. Then, a negotiation algorithm with dynamic strategy for joint enterprise procurement activity is proposed.(5) After the corporate profit model in networked environment is studied, the operation plan for MGrid platform is discussed. Furthermore, service pattern and corporate profit model in MGrid are also discussed. The program of carrying out CSCS system in Small and Middle-sized Enterprises (SMEs) using Application Service Provider (ASP) model is proposed. Finally, case studies of our effort on the application demonstration of CSCS system in the market promotion are given, and the technical and social problems encountered by us are also described.
