The role of Bill Of Materials and Movements (BOMM) in Virtual Enterprises Environment
Résumé
Organizing and managing dynamic networks of enterprises (or virtual enterprises) is a very complex task and many issues are still to be effectively covered. Apart from the models that can be used to create and manage virtual enterprises (VE), we believe that product data plays a central role in the VE life cycle. Virtual Enterprise composition, interaction among VE members (we propose Autonomous Production Systems), as well as its relationship with the market is severely dependent on the product technical specifications as well as on the product process planning information. In traditional managing systems for single enterprise environment the Bill Of Materials (BOM) plays that role and we propose a Bill Of Materials and Movements (BOMM) as its equivalent in virtual enterprises' environments. The BOMM includes product structure, high level process planning information and some degree of virtual enterprise composition. BOMM is present during VE formation, operation, and reconfiguration, playing a central role in the material detailed planning and in the movements planning between VE members. In this article we describe in detail the BOMM role during the VE life cycle.
