| Abstract | |
The concept of Virtual Enterprises has been widely discussed in the current context of market and production globalization. A Virtual Enterprise (VE) is a temporary enterprise network that joint themselves to exploit a business opportunity by sharing competences, costs and market share. Even though a VE is composed by different enterprises, it is fundamental to manage this network like a single company. However, while forming a VE for manufacturing sector, there is a gap in the operational phase: the lack of appropriated methods to execute the production planning and control. The goal of this work is to propose a reference model for production planning and control in VE, in order to support its distributed operation, but in an integrated way. This model defines a set of activities for the production planning and control in a VE, the required information to perform them and also the organizational model responsible for their execution. To elaborate the model, it was determined the features of VEs and its production management, and also considered the VE lifecycle processes. An example of production planning and control in a fictitious VE is elaborated to illustrate the proposed model utilization. (AU) | |
