Abstract

The current competitive environment leads the enterprise toward a central competence and to associate, in partnership, with other enterprises to take advantage of a market opportunity. This association becomes increasingly dynamics as the cycle of the product is shortened. This work presents a methodology for partnership formation in Supply Chain. It is based on the expansion of the Group Technology concepts, to the applications of the partnership project among enterprises to constitute a Supply Chain. It considers, in the first stage, the similarity among the necessary activities to the execution of a product. In the second stage, it suggests the use of a distance measurement between the candidate enterprise and the reference enterprise, established by the project¿s coordinating enterprise, as a means of selecting partner enterprises. A theoretical application shows the usefulness of the proposed methodology. The results show the importance of the methodology to support the decision-making in the configuration of partnership of production systems (AU)
