Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for automatically building a manufacturing supply chain. Digital models of manufacturing facilities for suppliers are built. Capability and capacity information are then received from the suppliers to be annotated with the digital models of the manufacturing facilities. Latent and implicit capability patterns are discovered using the received capability information from the suppliers. The manufacturing capabilities of manufacturing suppliers are then extracted from the digital models using the capability information provided by the suppliers and the discovered latent and implicit capability patterns. After receiving a production work order containing capabilities for servicing the production work order, capabilities for servicing the production work order are matched with manufacturing suppliers using the extracted manufacturing capabilities of the manufacturing suppliers.
