An enabler for supplier discovery in virtual supply chains :

Abstract

Rigid supply-chain organizational structures are giving way to highly dynamic collaborative partnerships. These partnerships will develop rapidly by composing global manufacturing resources in response to open market opportunities; and, they will disband just as rapidly when those opportunities disappear. One critical element of these virtual networks is the supplier discovery, i.e., the ability of customers to find suppliers that have the capabilities to meet their requirements. This initial report explores the communication language between the network partners, with particular emphasis on the technical aspects of the transactions.

Making Strategic Supply Chain Capacity Planning more Dynamic to cope with Hyperconnected and Uncertain Environments

“…For the second type of contribution, the following approaches were found for matching supply chain stakeholders' capabilities with buyers' requirements stored in a centralized data source: semantic reconciliation approaches to find matches [29]- [34], [38]- [41], [43], ontologies to structure information [29]- [34], [38]- [41], [43], [44], and semantic clustering of supply chain stakeholders' capabilities in a classification tree to classify and retrieve capabilities [42]. As part of the second type of contributions, the report by Fenves et al [37] from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) highlights the need for a taxonomy to share a common terminology among supply chain stakeholders to support supply chain stakeholder identification.…”
