In business or in industry, some entities are in collaboration with each other when they work together with or without common objectives. In this paper, we are interested in this collaboration relationship in the context of aeronautics. More precisely, we focus on a use case in which two actors' objectives are respectively to design an aircraft and to design the assembly line for this aircraft. Following some previous work on coopetition, we analyse the dependency relationship between these actors and propose i * models. In order to solve dependency cycle issues, we introduce a third actor that is in charge of realising trade-offs between the two designs. Finally, we show how existing methodology could be applied for supporting this trade-off activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
