Similar to the oft cited term “manufacturing footprint”, network configuration deals with the physical design of the network, and the capabilities of the sites on that network. In this chapter we will hence deal first of all with network structure and network specialisation. Following this, we will take an in-depth look at site specialisation in the form of site roles. The configuration of technological resources within the network and the internal supply chain conclude the design dimension of the network configuration.
