“…Many authors (Anderson, 1987;Mallidi, Paraskevopoulos, & Paganelli, 1999) define three main types of input: materials, energy and other factors. In this regard, the aforementioned literature sources also indicate other factors, which include: water, tools, operating supplies and information.…”

“…Mallidi et al (Mallidi et al, 1999) explain the advantages for SMEs to cluster into a SMEs network as it provides:  Access to new markets by manufacturing new products that are out of reach of a single SME  Increased productivity by grouping and aligning the productive capacity of each actor of the network  Improved responsiveness thanks to common responses to the disturbances which are unbearable by a single actor  Improved use of resources by avoiding functions duplication in the cluster.…”

Nowadays, in order to meet the demands of the global dynamic market and eliminate its disturbances, the supply chain and its integration across different organizations has become a competitive business advantage along the production processes. In particular, the mechatronic industry is very sensitive to these requirements. Our research deals with modelling the supply chain in order to manage and implement a simulation platform. Basically, we develop a modelling solution for an industrial environment composed of mechatronic Small and Medium Enterprises located in Savoie (France). The study is based on elements from real applications and the SMEs network organization. An analysis of the domain helped us to develop concepts and a modelling approach adapted to these companies. In this work, we present the area studied, the methodology used to construct the conceptual model of the supply chain, its structure and management rules. Then, we present the model obtained. Finally, we apply this conceptual model to a case study.

“…Among them is the Prodnet II (the ESPRIT 4 project 22647, Production Planning and Management in an Extended Enterprise, which aims to develop a reference architecture and supporting infrastructure for VEs particularly suited for SMEs in the area of metalomechanics) (CamarinhaMatos et al 1998, Camarinha-Matos and. Another SME, the PLENT (the ESPRIT 4 project 20723, Planning small-medium Enterprise NeTworks) focuses on VE networks formed by an aggregation of independent SMEs and develops a set of innovative software tools to support coordinated production planning and to control in a distributed organization formed by autonomous manufacturing SMEs (Mallidi et al 1999). The application of PLENT in an agricultural SME network of Hungary was reported in the paper of Mezgar and Kovacs (Mezgar and Kovacs 1998).…”

In the formation of dynamic virtual enterprise (VE), partner search is of prime importance. Finding potential partners in a directory is the first step of the process that might involve several interactions between the VE initiator and these potential partners in order to gather additional information and to reach agreements on the forms and terms of cooperation (Camarinha-Matos and Afsarmanesh, 1999, pp. 493). Given the manufacturing requirements, the initiator or coordinator of dynamic VE should first prepare several alternative schemes that can satisfy the requirements. Next, the coordinator should evaluate these alternative schemes by means of some multi-objective analysis methodologies, such as multi-objective decision-making (MODM), data envelopment analysis (EDA), analytic hierarchy process (AHP) or fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE), or statistical analysis, multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT). Then the coordinator should determine the formation scheme. The present paper deals with the search procedure of alternative schemes to form VE for the coordinator. In this paper, a logic model is first put forward to describe the relationships among the manufacturing capabilities of enterprises and the manufacturing requirements of clients within the range of the applied industry. It will suffer little change in a considerable long period because of its qualitative nature. This advantage will make it easy to maintain. Next, the procedures for the manufacturing enterprises seeking partners with this logic qualitative model are expressed mathematically. Based upon this logic model, three search algorithms are brought about for three different optimal goals, respectively: minimizing the number of enterprises, minimizing the number of redundant basic capability units in the dynamic enterprise alliances and minimizing the number of basic capability units useful to the manufacturing requirement of each enterprise. After that, theoretical analyses are made for these algorithms. It is demonstrated that these three search algorithms are all polynomial with respect to the number of enterprises belonging to a particular industry. This number is usually fairly large and represents the size of the search problem. In the end, it is shown that these three algorithms are effective and reliable with an example.
