Abstract

Virtual manufacturing enterprises (VMEs) are a current, viable, and strategic form of organization for business and other organizations. The perspectives described in this literature review are based upon a basic cluster analysis that identified and classified papers into homogenous subgroups with meaningful themes, or categories. These general themes are related to strategies for business organization and advanced information technologies, virtual industrial/manufacturing organizations/enterprises, frameworks supporting virtual manufacturing enterprises (VMEs), and information technology infrastructures for VMEs.
