Integrating Production Planning in Collaborative Manufacturing: Systematic Literature Review, and Future Research Direction

Purpose: This article examines the relevant literature to show how integration between Collaborative Manufacturing and Production Planning can be used and supported in the manufacturing business. This study seeks to provide a complete picture of the present condition, research trend, and application of Collaborative Manufacturing by considering some production planning indicators to assist many companies implementing greater technical collaboration amongst them. Design/methodology/approach: This analysis set all currently available studies on collaborative manufacturing and production planning through a comprehensive examination of the literature. During the review, a series of measures were taken. The study began by determining the study's objectives, selecting acceptable keywords, and reducing the selected articles based on a vari ous criterion. The final paper which met the review's criteria was subjected to a more thorough examination. A review of literature has been conducted which include 62 primary studies from Academic databases: Scopus and ScienceDirect with main focus on collaborative manufacturing and production planning. Findings: The study's three primary conclusions are as follows. An overview of the variables influencing collaborative manufacturing and production planning is presented first. The second point is the identification of a number of ideas, techniques, and mathematical modeling in collaborative manufacturing and production planning. Third, Collaborative Manufacturing and Production Planning's future research directions are given. Research limitations/implications: Likewise, future research may consider numerous goals, the fusion of optimization and metaheuristic techniques, and other tools to enhance the performance of the model's goal. The paper's objectives are to present a brief review of the current situation and to pave the way for further field research. Practical implications: Collaborative manufacturing must not solitarily concentrate on strategic aspects while managing their networks. Rather, consideration should be given to more technical factors, like production planning. Future academics will use the future research direction provided on this study as a guide to find the method to approach joint production planning. Originality/value: Additionally, this study provides various areas for future research and serves as a guide to advance studies research in collaborative manufacturing and production planning. © 2025, OmniaScience.
