Abstract
Especially small and medium size enterprises need to have
joint efforts to tackle the on-going changes in their
business environment. Information and communication
Technologies enable the increase of collaboration between
enterprises. In this paper, the specific problem to be
solved is the collaborative calculation of the Materials
Requirement Plan (MRP). The MRP is solved through the
design of a heuristic algorithm based on the Least Unit
Cost (LUC) technique, and is validated in the automotive
industry. In this paper the collaboration is enhanced
through iterations when first and
second tier companies in the supply chain of the
automotive industry exchange information on their demand
and production plans. The proposed algorithm is part of
the optimisation module developed in the Cloud
Collaborative Manufacturing Networks (C2NET) project. The
data needed to solve are extracted from the existing
legacy systems of the companies and mapped with the C2NET
data structure. In future, C2NET will provide several
algorithms to solve planning problems within
manufacturing industries as well as other sectors.
