【 摘 要 】

The development of production technologies, customer-centric philosophies and, above all, increased uncertainty around today's market, make companies look for solutions that would support their functioning on the market. Keeping up with changes requires, among other things, proper planning of production processes and high investments in innovative technological solutions. For this reason, it is increasingly difficult to make a modern product alone. That is why enterprises from the small and medium enterprises sector are looking for solutions that would enable to continue production without the need to have all the specialized production resources dedicated to individual products. Therefore, companies outsource the choice, configuration and or manufacture components that they are not able to do themselves. Another option is to join the virtual manufacturing network, where manufacturers temporarily share their spare capacity. Such cooperation is possible even for individual enterprises that are geographically dispersed. The proposed solution of generation of possible production routes (based on game theory) also takes into account the time and costs required to transport intermediates between manufacturers (alternative routes). The obtained results are the lead time and costs of manufacturing processes.
