Service management in cloud manufacturing (CMfg), especially the service selection and scheduling (SSS) problem has aroused general attention due to its broad industrial application prospects. Due to the diversity of CMfg services, SSS usually need to take into account multiple objectives in terms of time, cost, quality, and environment. As one of the keys to solving multi-objective problems, the preference information of decision maker (DM) is less considered in current research. In this paper, linguistic preference is considered, and a novel two-phase model based on a desirable satisfying degree is proposed for solving the multi-objective SSS problem with linguistic preference. In the first phase, the maximum comprehensive satisfying degree is calculated. In the second phase, the satisfying solution is obtained by repeatedly solving the model and interaction with DM. Compared with the traditional model, the two-phase is more effective, which is verified in the calculation experiment. The proposed method could offer useful insights which help DM balance multiple objectives with linguistic preference and promote sustainable development of CMfg.

Cloud manufacturing provides solutions for a number of tasks concerning the integration of manufacturing resources and production networks. Through it, new possibilities also arise for increasing product individualization. The paper describes how cloud manufacturing concepts allow an Internet marketplace to be established for flexible manufacturing services, which can be used to provide customized products. To do this, first of all use cases related to an appropriate IT infrastructure are analyzed with special regard to the management of manufacturing services which are used to represent manufacturing resources from a technical, financial, logistical, and contractual perspective. Furthermore, requirements on the platform which have to be fulfilled during execution of manufacturing services in a manufacturing cloud are explained and concepts and an architecture for realization of both are described.

The world is changing and the science and technology are making progress. Internet of Things is raging like a storm, and cloud manufacture is an invisible net preventing all escape. Changing the world, when conditions are ripe, success will come, which calls forth the idea of cloud design. This paper discusses the concept and theory of cloud design, which is a design framework empowered by advanced technologies including cloud computing. Cloud design is a modern design concept and methodology, and is the future of modern industrial design. The science and technology foundation of cloud design includes design, cloud manufacturing, internet of things, cloud computing, computer aided industrial design (CAID) , engineering, aesthetics, psychology, ergonomics, ontology and philosophy. The service system of cloud design consists of service, operational platform and resource. Its key technologies concern resource deployment, service management, resource provider/user management, and security. This paper also outlines the procedure and preliminary conclusion of the application of cloud design, gives direction and lays foundation for the follow-up research and development. As cloud design is new, this paper tries motivate researchers to come forward and contribute in various ways.

The ideas of on-demand, scalable and pay-for-usage resource-sharing in Cloud Manufacturing are steadily attracting more interest. For implementing the concept of Manufacturing-as-a-Service in a cloud environment, description models and implementation language for resources and their capabilities are required. A standardized approach for systemized virtualization, servisilisation, retrieval, selection and composition into higher levels of functionality is necessary. For the collaborative sharing and use of networked manufacturing resources there is also a need for a control approach for distributed manufacturing equipment. In this paper, the technological perspective for an adaptive cloud service-based control approach is described, and a supporting information model for its implementation. The control is realized through the use of a network of intelligent and distributable Function Block decision modules, enabling run-time manufacturing activities to be performed according to actual manufacturing conditions. The control system’s integration to the cloud service management functionality is described, as well as a feature-level capability model and the use of ontologies and the Semantic Web.

The concept of Primary Health Service Management Model “Andal” (LKP Andal) in Indonesia was initiated by the Public Health Association of Brawijaya University (IKEMAS UB) to solve the health service management problem in Indonesia. LKP Andal was piloted into a first-level organization that provide the health service/facility in PG Kebonagung polyclinic in Malang district.This research uses a service design approach to explore the problems and this study also provide a service solution to the LKP Andal implementation in IT perspective that suits to the organization characteristics as an entirely service delivery process support. As the result, this study has explored 23 main problems of the entirely service delivery process and also resulted 4 service solution ideas which were visualized using Service Journey Modelling Language (SJML) to acquire more detailed images and they can become the standard communication among stakeholders.

The main purpose of this research was to develop a model regarding strategic service management in order to improve the performance of projects related to the oil and gas industry. To this end, this study was conducted in two steps. Firstly, the main practices of SSM were defined by a systematic review and completed by experts’ interviews, and the data onto the expected and perceived about each practice were collected by using a questionnaire answered by the managers and direct experts of the Fars Gas Company, Iran, and its contractors in a five-year period. Finally, the SSM model was determined in a focus group. All participants were selected judgmentally and purposefully based on theoretical saturation. The findings show that the employer expects the contractor to improve the communication skills and the grooming and professional appearance of its staff and that they spend enough time processing the employer requests. As a result, the SSM model was developed based on four strategic cornerstones, including managerial attitude improvement, managing communications, improving business processes, and strengthening internal controls.
