Objectives
To develop new concepts and tools to
support SMEs, in creating and efficiently
operating non-hierarchical collaborative
business networks for complex products
(high variety and low volume), including
real time decision making and monitoring.
Strategy/Technology
Improve competiveness by
increasing companies reactivity on
dynamic and global markets with
differentiated products.
Application/Sector
Textile and apparel (including
wearable technologies); Footwear and Machine tools.
To provide a framework and tools for
exchanging tactical and strategic
information for decision making in non
hierarchical supply-chains networks.
Improve companies flexibility to
changing requirements and improve
collaboration across the supply
chain.
Electronic industry.
To develop methods, guidelines and tools
for the implementation of the Resilient
Multi-Plant Networks Model in nonhierarchical manufacturing networks,
characterised by non-centralised decision
making.
Integration of the customer driven
innovation influence and
responsiveness to customised
market demands and strategic
innovation-renewal - Operational
flexibility-agility, decentralised and
Collaborative Decision Making.

Hierarchical Manufacturing Networks
The traditional hierarchical manufacturing networks
are based on centralised models, where some of the
involved actors must adapt themselves to the
constraints defined by the dominant ones.

Non-Hierarchical Manufacturing Networks
In the new global market, competitiveness and
growth of industry highly rely on the move toward
innovative high performance industrial systems and
agile networked enterprises through the creation and
consolidation of Non-Hierarchical Manufacturing
Networks of multi-national SMEs in front of networks
based on powerful large-scale companies.

IMS MTP meeting - iNet-IMS - Lugano
Centralised Decision Making models
Real-world experiences of such models have revealed
some major problems due to the centralized vision of
the supply chain and the sub-optimal performance of
the centralized decision making.
For current highly
dynamic markets, this
generates major
inefficiencies in the
operation of the whole
supply chain.

28 June, 2010
IMS MTP meeting - iNet-IMS - Lugano
Decentralised Decision Making models
Centralized networks performance can be
significantly improved through more harmonious and
equitable peer-to-peer inter-enterprise relationships,
conforming a decentralised and collaborative decision
making model.

Non-Hierarchical Manufacturing Networks benefits
Enhanced overall competitiveness, innovation and adaptability in today and
tomorrow’s enterprise partnership scenario.
Cross-country and inter-enterprise interchanges, building networked
enterprises that are supported by stable relationship schemas and modern cooperation & co-ordination business paradigms.
Cost reduction, through overall optimisation and elimination of inefficiencies
of processes, stocks, flows, plans, etc.
Companies’ human resources improved quality of work and skills, through
improved knowledge management and dissemination, better understanding of
dynamics and flows, and clearer definition of roles and responsibilities.
End consumers’ advantages, mainly in terms of diminishment of products
time-to-market and costs.
SMEs empowerment and enhanced accessibility to networked enterprises.
9
Optimisation of materials, wastes and energy consumption based on more
rational and homogeneous production and supply plans, stocks and workforce
balance.
28 June, 2010
IMS MTP meeting - iNet-IMS - Lugano
Decentralised Decision Making models advantages
Improve the commitment of each node to the overall goals of the networked
enterprise.
Improve the communication, co-operation and co-ordination between
participating companies.
Consider all the components of the supply chain as actors of the same
importance, as the chain always breaks because of its weakest node, and
must therefore be as homogeneous and stable as possible.
Empower the role of human resources, as they acquire higher responsibilities
and get really involved in supply chain-wide business processes and decisions.
Develop knowledge networks and repositories, which are distributed and at
the same time integrated throughout the whole supply chain.
Help SMEs to position themselves adequately on the global market through
their active participation in value chains exploiting their core competencies.
Transform networked organisations in order for them to operate as a unique
entity, but with the advantages of plurality in competencies and cultures.

The goal of the iNet·IMS initiative is the extension of
scope of the EC-FP7 funded projects REMPLANET, Netchallenge, CONVERGE, inTime and SMCS, with respect to
IMS-specific tasks and results.
