ABSTRACT: Manufacturing leanness and agility are requirements of today’s manufacturing systems. Leanness call for a best fit of the
manufacturing systems to products, therefore requiring product oriented manufacturing systems (POMS). Manufacturing agility
can be achieved through easy systems reconfiguration to fit changing manufacturing requirements, which may mean dynamically
configuring POMS. For this a suitable design system is required. Due to complexity of this design, and to the need for using
suitable design methods, which may not be available locally, distributed sources of design services can be used. This paper
presents and describes a prototype of a Distributed Design system for POMS based on a POMS design methodology and distributed
suppliers of design services.
