Abstract: To promote resource sharing and advance collaboration level of Small to Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs), an Application Service Provider (ASP)-based Collaborative Networked Manufacturing Service Platform (CNMSP) is proposed. The framework and main collaboration modules of CNMSP are introduced briefly. Collaborative workflow, which aims at implementing collaborative process smoothly and serving product lifecycle successfully, is described in detail. To urge geographically distributive resource sharing, a general resource evaluate algorithm is established. To ensure CNMSP effectively providing SMEs services at reasonable low cost, a dynamic rental-charge-computing model is established. Finally, a Construction Machinery Networked Manufacturing Service Platform on proposed framework and technologies is taken as an illustration.
