For a Methodology to Implement Virtual Breeding Environments – A Case Study in the Mold and Die Sector in Brazil

Abstract

Abstract. This paper addresses the general problem of how classical cluster of industries can become a Virtual Breeding Environment (VBE). Using reference frameworks and models, a methodology to support this evolution is being conceived and its preliminary results are presented. This work tackles a cluster of moulds and dies industries from Brazil as the basis for the research and propositions. In the future, this methodology intends to serve as a concrete mean to systematize the implementation of a variety of VBEs.

A Structured Approach for Implementing Virtual Organization Breeding Environments in the Mold and Die Sector – A Brazilian Case Study

“…Several works have addressed the problem related to model CNOs. A comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art about such subject is found in Baldo and Rabelo [4]. In this work, the authors state that ARCON modeling framework is suitable enough to model VBEs and can be used to model a VBE for an industrial clusters.…”

“…This model classifies every element necessary to design the NuFerJ VBE, which in turn will guide the work towards its implementation. Baldo and Rabelo [4] presents the VBE model created specifically for NuFerJ, considering all involved elements in the Endogenous and Exogenous ARCON's subspaces [7].…”

Virtual organisation breeding environments toolkit: reference model, management framework and instantiation methodology

“…Nowadays the VBE toolkit is currently being used in the Nuferj Network (Group of Moulds and Dies Industries of Joinville, Brazil) to transform this classical cluster of industries into a state-of-the-art Virtual Organisation Breeding Environment (VBE), proving in a real practical sense the contribution of this toolkit for the industry (Baldo and Rabelo 2009).…”

Guidelines to Transform Industry Clusters in Virtual Organization Breeding Environments – A Case Study

“…Several works have addressed the problem related to model CNOs. A comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art about such subject is found in Baldo and Rabelo [8]. In this work, the authors state that among the reviewed CNO modeling frameworks, ARCON is the most appropriated one to model VBEs for industry clusters.…”

“…This model classifies every element necessary to design the NuFerJ VBE, which in turn will guide the work towards its implementation. Baldo and Rabelo [8] presents the VBE model created for NuFerJ, considering all the characteristics and elements involved in the Endogenous and Exogenous ARCON's subspaces [11].…”
