A model for co-operative planning within a virtual enterprise
L.Ouzizi, D. Anciaux, M. C. Portmann and F. Vernadat MACSI Project, INRIA-Lorraine & LGIPM
Introduction Objectives of industrial enterprises: Minimise different costs (production, transport, holding…)
♦
Establish a strong co-ordination and commitment with other enterprises ♦
♦ Share
benefits and losses with partners
New forms of organisations appear: Extended Enterprise and Virtual Enterprise (VE)
Several definitions for the Virtual Enterprise (VE) An instance, Makatsoris et al (1996): “A virtual enterprise is a subset of units and processes within the supply chain network, consisting of a matrix of largely co-operating manufacturing, store, and transport units of mixed ownership, which behave like a single enterprise through strong co-ordination and cooperation towards mutual goals”.

New planning obtained by negotiation
• Definition and negotiation of costs A change of planning ⇒ change of production costs (new delays, working overtime, subcontracting…)
To satisfy the customers of the VE, some NEVs can produce without assuring their benefit We propose that: 1- The first objective is to assure the global benefit of the virtual enterprise:
∑
selling
− ∑ NEVs
costs
≥0
all NEVs
2- Costs will be a function of the quantities purchased or delivered
3- Each NEV is able to establish direct and backward planning iterations 4- Each NEV establishes a mathematical model that takes into account different costs and penalties of delay 5- The global benefit can be transformed into compensations to NEVs with negative benefit

Production planning in the Virtual Enterprise Variation of demands Plannings are negotiated and coherent
Problem of NEVs of the last level - Correct forecasts of finished products - Add a new period for the period T - Update stocks of components
Problem of each NEV - Is it sufficient to add one period to the planning ? - Is it necessary to change more or less the previous planning ?
Algorithm proposed: A0: we affect a row for each level NR: the row of the last level A1: For each level from NR down to 1 do Preliminary work for each level For each NEV of the level do The due date of products manufactured by the NEV are fixed For each combination of parameters (costs, penalties, possible delays...) do Construct the backward planning corresponding to the due date deliveries fixed Endfor each combination of parameters Endfor each NEV EndFor each level
A2: If each NEV does not need to place orders in past periods then - The negotiator agent of the level (NAL) has a set of plannings established in A1 - It selects plannings on the basis of the two local and global objectives If it is OK for every one Else NEVs concerned or the NAL can change weights of some penalties Else the NEVs establish direct plannings, by replacing negative times by 0 ⇒ the due date for purchased products from VE’s suppliers are fixed. A3: For each level from 1 to NR do Preliminary work for each level For each NEV of the level do The due dates of purchased products are fixed For each combination of parameters chosen by the NEV or the NAL do Construct the direct planning (taking into account products manufactured and the values of the two criteria (costs and penalties) Endfor each combination Endfor each NEV EndFor each level
A4: At the end of A3, consistent plannings of products to be delivered to customers are obtained with delays (acceptable or not) and possible overcosts at some NEVs. If each one is satisfied (possible compensation for NEVs) then it is OK Else start again in A3 or in A1 and change penalties or other parameters.
Advantages of the algorithm: - A global and a local benefit for the virtual enterprise is ensured - The computing time of each direct or backward planning is bounded by a polynomial function of the number of NEV’s and the number of periods
Conclusion • Overall planning of a SC is a complex task • A model and execution infrastructure for the planning of a type of VE presented • Perspectives: enhancement of the model and application to other types of VE • Work done within EU IST V-CHAIN Project
