GLOBAL PRODUCTION vs. LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Low cost decentralized production Uncertain knowledge location ... ... ...
LOCAL PRODUCTION – GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE
Creating and sharing knowledge through the world wide web local production Digital local factories as enablers of green manufacturing Dramatic decrease of logistic costs: Shipping Bits and Raw material; no final products Dramatic decrease of time to market: Production on demand
