Improvements in the performance of manufacturing supply chains in terms of reduced inventory, faster customer response and greater flexibility are restricted by the sequential nature of their operation and an overall inability to exploit the concepts of concurrency. The industrial problem addressed by this research proposal is, therefore, that manufacturing organisations need to find an alternative to the sequential approach to managing their business operations and, in particular, their supply chains. By employing the systems integration opportunities afforded by Internet and extranet technologies an additional, but alternative, approach to business systems re-engineering is acheivable. The key to enhanced supply chain operations is not efficient information transfer but timely information availability. The basic premise of the DOMAIN research project is that Internet technologies will force a paradigm shift in the way in which manufacturing companies operate. In particular, manufacturing planning and control systems will be transformed with the availability of transparent demand data and supply capacity. Using Internet-based knowledge management the linear transfer of information within supply chains will be replaced by supply webs and a more interactive approach to supply chain partnering:
