The methods for enterprise architecture (EA), such as The Open Group Architecture Framework, acknowledge the importance of requirements modelling in the development of EAs. Modelling support is needed to specify, document, communicate and... more

Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) is a research field that studies methodologies and technologies for capture and re-use of product and process engineering knowledge. The objective of KBE is to reduce time and cost of product development, which is primarily achieved through automation of repetitive design tasks while capturing, retaining and re-using design knowledge. Published research on KBE is not very extensive and also quite dispersed; this paper is an effort to collect and review existing literature on KBE. A total of 50 research contributions have been analysed. The main objectives of this analysis are to identify the theoretical foundations of KBE and to identify research issues within KBE, pointing out the challenges and pitfalls that currently prohibit a wider adoption of KBE while suggesting avenues for further research. Key findings include (a) the necessity for improved methodological support and adherence, (b) better transparency and traceability of knowledge, (c) the necessity for a quantitative framework to assess the viability and success of KBE development and implementation projects, and (d) the opportunity to move towards mass customization approaches through distributed deployment of KBE in the extended enterprise.

Certains fournisseurs sont devenus des ressources essentielles à
l'entreprise. Leur contribution aux objectifs stratégiques ne peut se mesurer
uniquement selon le triptyque coût-qualité-service. C’est particulièrement le cas
dans les interactions complexes, quand le fournisseur est apporteur d’expertise,
en mode projet. Cet article utilise l'expérience des actifs immatériels pour
proposer une approche de mesure de la performance de la relation avec les
fournisseurs clés plus adaptée que les approches classiques de pilotage de leur
potentiel de création de valeur.

This paper focuses on web innovation of the supply chain management of an expanded enterprise from the provision, production to final delivery of a product/service in accordance with customer requests. In an open architecture the technology of web services improves system performance in terms of cost, time and quality. The ability to interact online with all subjects of supply chain breaks down geographical barriers and ensuring timeliness and transparency of information. The enterprise becomes greater agile, flexible and speed in responding to customer needs and market changes.

Currently, the companies overcome its organization barriers stimulated by the necessity of market expansion, minimize the enterprise costs, search for competitive advantages and need to absorb the fast market changes. New forms of organizations arise and are called extended and agile enterprises with new factors to be observed in the implementation of the integrated systems such as enterprise resources planning (ERP). Defining business processes of these organizations turn the task of modeling of the system integrated information sufficiently complex. In order to control all these variables of the businesses world and minimize the effect of the high risk of investment, it is necessary to use adequate methodologies. This article presents the main difficulties in the implantation of ERP systems and proposes a modeling methodology for networking enterprise with CIMOSA and UML.

Modern supply chains need to be agile and flexible enough so that they can be re- sponsive to sources of variability and unpredictability, such as, demand fluctuations, supply and transportation disruptions and lengthy and variable order lead times. At the core of the appropriate response to this challenge, resides the effective collabo- ration among all stakeholders of the extended enterprise; this is further realized though the proper supply chain contractual agreements, information sharing and a system-wide cost and profitability optimization paradigm. In this manuscript, we pre- sent a control theory-based optimization framework that can be employed at an op- erational level, determining the optimal policy for multi-product, multi-echelon supply chain network resilience. The decision variables include production rates, transpor- tation loads, and product inventory levels. The objective function is the minimization of total supply chain cost over a specified rolling time horizon ...

With economic globalisation and the emergence of extended enterprises derived from interrelationships among organisations, there has been a steady increase in offshore outsourcing activities. Subsequently, the strategic importance of offshoring decisions is important. Traditional offshoring decisions mainly emphasise outsourcee (supplier) selection problems, with their focus upon economic factors. Sustainability, which has recently been regarded as a competitive necessity in most industries, rarely enters into the modelling or ...

Some suppliers are key business resources. Their management requires more sophisticated tools than simply measuring cost savings. These tools must be integrated into the overall strategy of growth and development of competitive advantages. This is especially the case with complex interactions in project like mode. This article uses the experience of intangible assets to propose an approach to measure the performance of key suppliers geared to maximize their potential for value-creation.

Business-to-Business integration (B2Bi) is considered to be not merely an IT-issue, but also a business problem. This paper draws attention to the challenges companies within an Extended Enterprise are confronted with when integrating their systems. We primarily pay attention to coordination problems that may arise. To overcome these problems we propose the use of Enterprise Architecture descriptions. We discuss the

In this paper we argue that there exist two basic forms of business-to-business integration (B2Bi), namely, extended enterprise integration and market B2Bi. The paper at hand clarifies the meaning of both concepts, shows that the difference between both is fundamental, and discusses the consequences of the difference in the realm of Web services development. The importance of coordination and the
