Abstract
Global manufacturing networks and plant roles have in the past been mainly analysed independently. Current research aims at filling this gap by integrating both perspectives to achieve a holistic view on manufacturing networks. This paper builds on existing approaches and derives a conceptual framework from literature to link the strategic targets of the network and the plants' capabilities. Using evidence from a first case study, the authors show how the plant role portfolio can be applied in pursuit of a defined network strategy and for the formulation of plant roles in a global
manufacturing network.
