Abstract: To meet the demands of crossenterprises collaboration including sharing of dynamic，heterogeneous and distributed manufacturing resources, the meaning, definition, connotations and problems needed to be solved in grid manufacturing were submitted. The differences and relationships between grid manufacturing and other related technologies to support crossenterprises collaboration like ecommerce, networked manufacturing and Web Services (WS) were outlined. Limitations of traditional technologies on crossenterprises collaboration were yielded. The study revealed that grid manufacturing was able to provide transient service to share dynamic and transient manufacturing resources and distinguished itself from other Web technologies. An architecture of grid manufacturing based on WSResource Framework (WSRF) was proposed and the core research issues should be focused on resource layer and application layer. Manufacturing resources modeling and encapsulating on resource layer and solutions to problems of date sharing, equipment sharing and collaborative in application layer were discussed in detail, and related technologies were also summarized.
