N2 - This paper discusses an analytical network model for efficient decision support in global manufacturing operations management (GMOM). Impact of business globalization on manufacturing operations management, key features of GMOM and challenges for the decision making have been identified. Based on the understanding of decision support requirements for the GMOM, an analytical network model has been developed to support multi-criteria decision making in GMOM. Research methodology comprises the theoretical study of Analytical Network Process and empirical study. Development of the decision model has been illustrated through a case of global manufacturing location decision. Further work will integrate the analytical network decision model with fuzzy set theory to enhance GMOM decision making under "wicked" situations.
