Abstract

Everything as a Service paradigm has created the opportunity for production and manufacturing industries to move from a product or process-oriented model to a service-oriented model. The Service oriented paradigm called Cloud production and manufacturing systems is one the enablers of Industry 4.0 paradigm. For the realization of the distributed manufacturing and logistics serviced in the form of global service perspective, an evolution roadmap is proposed which considers three perspectives. The first perspective has contributed to platforms and architectures for globalized service-oriented production and manufacturing systems. The research conducted on this theme contributed to the integration and interoperability of stakeholders and processes to enable the fulfillment of services. The second perspective has elaborated the idea of Cloud production and manufacturing systems by encompassing transportation and logistics as service paradigm. The main contributions of the research studies in this theme can be interpreted as mutual and synergic production and transportation service alignment. Moreover, the research studies have contributed to the development of operations research (OR) models for Cloud service network management and planning. The third perspective has extended and contributed to the application of Blockchain and emerging Web 3 technologies in Cloud manufacturing networks. These research studies have accomplished the early steps for improving the effectiveness of the second perspective and have also provided an insight to the perspective of share economy and tokenization models in service-oriented networks. The studies emphasize the potential and capabilities of Web 3 for establishment of new business models in this network. The convergence of the research perspectives concentrates on more realization of service-oriented production and supply networks. The globalized interaction frameworks which operate with autonomous structures capable of resembling the preferences of Cloud stakeholders. From the point of view of sustainability pillars high research potential can be of investigated. Moreover, the thesis proposes the future studies with motivation of more globalized, sustainable, and autonomous Cloud networks in form of tokenization paradigm.
