The rapid emergence of new technologies accompanied with continuous market changes, among other factors, are paving the path towards the emergence of a new production paradigm known as Redistributed Manufacturing. RdM entails the shift from centralized mass production systems towards decentralized geographically dispersed smaller manufacturing facilities, empowered by new information and communication technologies and characterized by personalization and active consumer role. The aim of this paper is to survey and analyse the extant literature that addresses the design of RdM networks in order to identify different models, tools and approaches proposed to design RdM networks. As the adoption of an RdM paradigm is appealing and promising, it is important to bring together and analyse previous studies in RdM networks design, as well as to borrow theories from other well-established areas and incorporate them into the RdM network design field. The paper begins with an overview on the RdM paradigm; its benefits, challenges and opportunities. A survey of the state of the art on RdM networks design, and challenges and shortcomings with the identified approaches are presented. Finally the paper concludes with a summary section and future research directions.
