Integrating production planning in collaborative manufacturing: Systematic literature review, and future research direction

Abstract

Purpose: This article examines the relevant literature to show how integration between Collaborative Manufacturing and Production Planning can be used and benefitted in the manufacturing business. This study seeks to provide a complete picture of the present condition, research trend, and application of Collaborative Manufacturing by taking into account some production planning indicators to aid many firms implementing greater technical collaboration amongst them.

Design/methodology/approach: This analysis located all currently available studies on collaborative manufacturing and production planning through a thorough examination of the literature. During the review, a series of measures were taken. The study began by determining the study's objectives, selecting acceptable keywords, and reducing the selected papers based on a variety of criteria. The final paper that met the review's criteria was subjected to a more thorough examination. A review of literature has been conducted which include 62 primary studies from Academic databases: Scopus and Sciencedirect with main focus on collaborative manufacturing and production planning.

Findings: The study's three primary conclusions are as follows. An overview of the variables influencing collaborative manufacturing and production planning is presented first. The second point is the identification of a number of ideas, techniques, and mathematical modeling in collaborative manufacturing and production planning. Third, Collaborative Manufacturing and Production Planning's future research directions are given.

Research limitations/implications: Future research may also take into account numerous goals, the fusion of optimization and metaheuristic techniques, and other tools to enhance the performance of the model's goal. The paper's objectives are to present a succinct review of the current situation and to pave the way for further field research.

Practical implications: Collaborative manufacturing should not just concentrate on strategic aspects while managing their networks. Rather, consideration should be given to more technical factors like production planning. Future academics will use the future research direction provided in this study as a guide for how to approach joint production planning.

Originality/value: Additionally, this study provides various areas for future research and serves as a guide for research to advance studies in collaborative manufacturing and production planning.
