'Virtual Supply Chains' Could Help Bridge Manufacturing Gaps

Overview Large defense primes and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) no longer manufacture, and small firms are no longer interested in supplying them and probably could not, even if they desired, because their technology infrastructure is insufficient.

One way to solve this problem is to "Go virtual", that is, to develop virtual manufacturing enterprises - integrated, collaborative virtual supply chains - that facilitate productive working relationships between defense primes and OEMs on the contracting side and small manufacturers on the supply side. This may seem analogous to the role of chief subcontractor in the more traditional supply chain model, but there are important differences.
