Abstract. Unexpected events in hierarchical production planning, such as rush orders, labor problems, lack of availability of materials and faulty machines have to be managed efficiently because they represent a risk for business continuity, based on their impact and duration. The use of inter-enterprise architecture offers multiple benefits for collaborative networks, including: business strategy and information technology alignment, joint process integration and synchronization, supply chain cost reduction, risk and redundancy minimization and customer services improvement. Therefore, the use of inter-enterprise architecture to address the problem of unexpected events in hierarchical production planning supporting operational risk management is proposed. This paper presents a model for inter-enterprise architecture that addresses the problem of handling unexpected events in hierarchical production planning and how the inter-enterprise framework is embedded into the model.

“…Therefore enterprise architectures enable the company to be represented in a holistic and integrated perspective, to achieve the business objectives and facilitate decision-making [4]. In recent years, a number of enterprise architectures have been proposed, including: CIMOSA [5], GIM-GRAI [6], PERA [7]; GERAM [8], IE-GIP [9,10,11,12,13] ARIS [14] and TOGAF-ADM [15].…”

Abstract:The novel idea of inter-enterprise architecture from the enterprise engineering perspective allows collaborative networks to integrate and coordinate different organizations. Therefore, interenterprise architecture offers multiple benefits, including: joint process harmonization, business strategy and information technology alignment, technological cost reduction, risk and redundancies reduction, customer services improvement and enhanced responsiveness. Inter-enterprise architecture can be used to solve the different issues that collaborative networks face on a daily basis. A conceptual model that addresses the problem of unexpected events management in the context of hierarchical production planning to improve decision making in collaborative environments is proposed using of inter-enterprise architecture. The proposed conceptual model comprises of a framework, a modelling language and the methodology. The conceptual model has been applied to a Spanish collaborative network from the ceramic tile sector.

“…The principal elements identified in this field are: business strategy, organizational and processes infrastructure, IS infrastructure, IS / IT strategy, IT conceptualisation, maturity model alignment, applications and services portfolio, alignment heuristics, strategic dependencies model and portfolio applications [5,6,7].…”

Abstract. This paper proposes the concept of Inter-Enterprise Architecture (IEA), which seeks the application of tools and methodologies developed in the Enterprise Architecture (EA) field for the individual firm, adapting to an environment of collaboration between several companies that make networks or supply chains, in order to facilitate the integration and interoperability of their collaborative processes in line with its IS/IT (Information Systems/ Information Technology) to harmonize the joint processes, reduce risk and duplication, increase service and customer responsiveness, reduce technology costs and align the joint business to IS/IT.
