Abstract
In this study, we discuss required conditions for organizing valuable structures of a company or a group of cooperated companies which is a new concept about regional industrial concentration named the Virtual Concentration of Production Bases. Until today, most of researchers focused on the Real Concentration of Production Bases in these domains. However this conventional concept cannot be applied to complex environment of industrial companies in the next generation. Contrary, the virtual concentration of production bases is realized by overcoming long geometrical distances and time differences among production bases, and creates bigger values of products. For this purpose, we consider the organizing the virtual concentration of production bases as a way of optimization strategy of manufacturing industry, and define an objective function represents the degree of virtual concentration. Based on the results of computer simulations and case studies of real companies, the usefulness of this approach is verified.
