Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we present our approach for the management of production networks in more detail. After a short introduction to our framework model, its three design layers strategy, configuration and coordination are explained, and their decision dimensions described. After that, the concept of network FIT is introduced, which links these three layers together in a meaningful way and aims at harmonising them. The chapter ends by connecting the framework model to the so-called PARTS method, and thus by introducing a network architecture as a methodological starting point for analysing and designing a production network.
