Normalised Data Model for Cloud Collaborative Manufacturing: Applied to the Footwear Industry

Currently, collaborative SC planning driven by lean Industry 4.0 technologies is helping manufacturers to be more agile and efficient in their operations. This paper addresses the problem of information sharing among supply network partners in the footwear industry for the computational optimisation of SC planning. The methodology called C2NET is used for model input data through standardised tables (STables). The results show a simplified database relational diagram, which can be applied by different companies from this industrial sector, as well as researchers for their mathematical optimisation developments.
