Uncertainty in Partner Selection for Virtual Enterprises

LEVERAGING KNOWLEDGE FOR INNOVATION IN COLLABORATIVE NETWORKS

Abstract
A virtual enterprise (VE) is a temporary organization that pools the core competencies of its member enterprises and exploits fast changing market opportunities. The success of such an organization is strongly dependent on its composition, and the selection of partners becomes therefore a crucial issue. This problem is particularly difficult because of the uncertainties related to information, market dynamics, customer expectations and technology speed up. In this paper we propose an integrated approach to rank alternative VE configurations in business environments with uncertainty, using an extension of the TOPSIS method for fuzzy data, improved through the use of a stochastic multiobjective tabu search meta-heuristic. Preliminary computational results clearly demonstrate the potential of this approach for practical application.

Establishing the Foundation of Collaborative Networks

Abstract
A virtual enterprise (VE) is a temporary organization that pools member enteiprises core competencies and exploits fast changing market opportunities Partner selection can be viewed as a multi-criteria decision making problem that involves, assessing trade-offs between conflicting tangible and intangible criteria, and stating preferences based on incomplete or non-available information. In general, this is a very complex problem due to the large number of alternatives and criteria of different types. In this paper we propose an integrated approach to rank alternative VE configurations using an extension of the TOPSIS method for fuzzy data, improved through the use of a tabu search meta-heuristic. Preliminary computational results clearly demonstrate its potential for practical application.

INNOVATION IN MANUFACTURING NETWORKS

Abstract
Partner selection in virtual enterprises (VE) can be viewed as a multi-criteria decision making problem that involves assessing trade-offs between conflicting tangible and intangible criteria. In general, this is a very complex problem due to the dynamic topology of the network, the large number of alternatives and the different types of criteria. In this paper we propose an iterative and interactive exploratory process to help the decision maker identify the companies that best suit the needs of each particular project. This is achieved by using cluster analysis to distinguish companies according to some selected features. We present an example to illustrate this approach.

Stochastic partner selection for virtual enterprises: a chance-constrained approach

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PRODUCTION RESEARCH

Abstract
A virtual enterprise (VE) is a temporary organisation that pools the core competencies of its member enterprises in order to exploit fast-changing market opportunities. Making successful collaborative partnerships is, in this context, a major challenge in today's competitive business environments. The success of such a 'virtual' organisation is strongly dependent on its composition, and the selection of partners becomes therefore a crucial issue. This problem is particularly difficult because of the uncertainties related to information, market dynamics, customer expectations and technology speed-up, with a strongly stochastic decision-making context. In this paper, a chance-constrained approach to rank alternative VE configurations in business environments with uncertainty, and vague and random information, is proposed. This approach is based on a two-stage model: a chance-constraint multi-objective directional Tabu Search metaheuristic, complemented by a 2-tuple fuzzy linguistic representation model. Preliminary computational results clearly demonstrate the potential of the approach for practical application.
