Abstract Sharing Economy promotes Shared Manufacturing (SharedMfg) that allows self-organized individuals to get involved in manufacturing activities through peer-to-peer (P2P) collaborations. It extends the scope and depth of resources sharing and enables society-based manufacturing integration. SharedMfg is complex and is still in its infancy. It demands encouraging research to clarify the concept and understand the key operations. In this paper, the SharedMfg is analysed along with two significant manufacturing evolutional trends, (i.e., Servitization and Industry 4.0). Based on this, to reduce the complexities in operations, the concept and definition of SharedMfg are presented on the basis of a service hierarchy that includes Product-Service System, Configuration-Service System and Resource-Service System. At the same time, this paper looks SharedMfg as an independent socialization manufacturing mode (e.g. compared with Cloud Manufacturing), and also, the benefit in contributing to the integration of the manufacturing and service sectors is revealed. However, apart from the complexity, high-degree dynamics and uncertainties related to service operations challenge the application of SharedMfg as well. To meet both requirements, based on the construction of a three-dimensional SharedMfg Service (SMS) modelling framework, a hybrid integration and interoperable SharedMfg architecture is proposed to ensure the provision of SMS in efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, a dynamic SMS scheduling method in support of the technologies of Complex Network Analysis is presented. A case study associated with the networked fabrication of an assistive glove is applied by implementing a prototype system to validate the proposed frameworks and methods. Finally, an experiment for evaluating the efficiency of service matching is carried out to prove the SharedMfg that can provide better performance than Cloud Manufacturing and Social Manufacturing.

共享经济中的共享制造：概念、定义和服务运营

摘要 共享经济促进了共享制造 (SharedMfg)，它允许自组织的个人通过点对点 (P2P) 协作参与制造活动。拓展资源共享的广度和深度，实现社会化制造融合。SharedMfg 很复杂，而且还处于起步阶段。它需要鼓励研究以澄清概念并理解关键操作。在本文中，SharedMfg 与两个重要的制造发展趋势（即服务化和工业 4.0）一起进行了分析。在此基础上，为了降低操作的复杂性，基于产品-服务系统、配置-服务系统和资源-服务系统的服务层次，提出了SharedMfg的概念和定义。同时，本文将 SharedMfg 视为一种独立的社会化制造模式（例如与云制造相比），并揭示了有助于制造和服务业整合的好处。然而，除了复杂性之外，与服务操作相关的高度动态性和不确定性也挑战了 SharedMfg 的应用。为了满足这两个需求，在构建三维 SharedMfg Service (SMS) 建模框架的基础上，提出了一种混合集成和可互操作的 SharedMfg 架构，以确保 SMS 提供的效率和有效性。此外，还提出了一种支持复杂网络分析技术的动态短信调度方法。通过实施原型系统来验证所提出的框架和方法，应用了与辅助手套的网络化制造相关的案例研究。最后，进行了服务匹配效率评估实验，以证明 SharedMfg 可以提供比云制造和社会制造更好的性能。
