Abstract

A network system (10) and method for enabling automatic price quotations for the production of a product and/or automatic production of a product without the need for a customer to disclose proprietary drawings and specifications to the supplier. One aspect of the invention is directed to a network system (10) and method for obtaining price quotations for the production of a product from suitable supplier members within the network system, wherein the manufacturing details of the product are utilized to develop the price quotation for each supplier member, but are not required to be disclosed to the supplier members for such purpose. Another aspect of the invention is directed to a network system (10) and method for ordering the production of a product whereby the manufacturing details for the product are conveyed to the supplier member in a machine readable form that can be implemented by the supplier member's specific process machinery for immediate production, and subsequent delivery.
