“…Companies which compose the supply chain are modelled by decision nodes, such as virtual enterprise nodes (VENs; Ouzizi et al 2006). The enterprise network ( Figure 3) is represented as a set of tiers (according to the manufacturing bill of materials and to the propagation of component need), in which each partner, defined as a VEN, is in relation with customers and suppliers on the adjacent tiers.…”

International audienceCurrently enterprises are organising themselves in 'new' structures, alternatively called enterprise networks, virtual enterprises, supply chains. We are interested in enterprise networks in which decision and information systems are distributed. We are searching for a global performance while controlling the architecture with local bilaterally negotiated co-decisions. We propose an architecture based on multi-agent system and the associated protocols, described by statecharts, to ensure as much as possible a global coherence and the convergence of the decision process. We propose models and tools in order to validate our approach by simulation of the multi-agent system. We employ our model on a particular problem in which enterprises are searching complementary resources (stocks, production capacities, components and/or transport capacities) in order to deal with unexpected orders different from the planned forecasting. The simulation considers parameters of the architecture systems in order to define how many unexpected orders must be treated in parallel the goal is to find a good equilibrium between minimisation of answer delay and maximisation of efficiency

“…The planning of VE activities is carried out by a set of holons while scheduling is executed autonomously by each partner enterprise. Latifa Ouzizi et al [5] presented an agent-based architecture of the virtual enterprise and proposed a model and an execution infrastructure for the production planning using negotiation. A three-level integrated PPC model is suggested by Prof. Ma [6].…”

Production planning and scheduling (PPS) in dynamic alliance is a complicated and difficult task, as it has to be optimal and collaborative both for the individual enterprise and for the whole dynamic alliance network. To acquire quicker response of production process in dynamic alliance environment, new requirements of PPS are analyzed, and the corresponding collaborative PPS model is established. Moreover, the enabling technologies such as the information exchange, coordination and conflict resolution mechanism and PPS optimization algorithm are discussed. The objective of this paper is to find a satisfactory solution and techniques for the optimization and collaboration of PPS system.

“…With the rapid development of Internet technology, more and more businesses have formed as virtual enterprises (Yang et al 2015). This kind of collaboration promotes the formation of virtual enterprises that enable companies to achieve core competencies and practice lean manufacturing for economic benefit (Goranson 2003;Ouzizi et al 2006). The virtual enterprise involves a number of partner companies that are mostly geographically distributed and of a similar kind of business.…”

“…The virtual enterprise involves a number of partner companies that are mostly geographically distributed and of a similar kind of business. The term virtual enterprise implies that business processes are jointly derived, jointly executed and jointly measured throughout the collaboration stream (Ouzizi et al 2006;Molina et al 2007).…”

This paper presents a systematic approach to project business process monitoring and identifies the key aspects of virtual enterprise (VE) process evaluation. A framework for VE business processes monitoring is presented with special emphasis in linking interest groups to the development of their targets, information, and knowledge sharing. The proposed model defines the exclusive performance metrics, which are needed during business process monitoring. This interdisciplinary study examines business process monitoring through peer-to-peer information exchange in the VE domain, which is currently not sufficiently explained. The fundamental metrics to define business process performance monitoring are elaborated in this research study. The identified performance metrics can be used to measure the overall performances for both project business and virtual enterprise. In addition to reference architecture, a case example is presented to monitor business processes within project business virtual enterprise. An overall definition of collaborative business process monitoring and performance management systems is also presented accordingly. This research concludes with future research directions regarding the nature of collaboration in project business virtual enterprise and the characteristics of performance indicators to support it.
