    This paper presents a new risk analysis framework applied to a global production network for pump manufacturing considering strategic decisions regarding alternative suppliers and markets. External and internal risk scenarios are defined and alternative network configurations are evaluated considering the constructed risk scenarios. Inoperability of individual nodes in the global production networks caused by identified risks are determined by taking into account propagation of risks due to the interdependencies between nodes. Fuzzy arithmetic is applied to track the level of uncertainty inherent in the model parameters and the outcomes. It is demonstrated how recommendations can be made with regard to the network configuration and handling of the uncertainty in the results.

    The ability to re-configure effectively a global production network to meet the ever changing demands of business product-service requirements is a significant problem for manufacturing industry that raises issues for the dynamic sharing and reuse of information and knowledge between systems and across domains. The research approach discussed in this paper focuses on the provision of software services to support this need. These services are underpinned by new enterprise modelling methods and a hierarchy of reference semantics that provide the core basis for knowledge sharing across the multiple factors that need to be addressed in effective production network configuration.
