Research on Collaborative Production Planning and Scheduling of Dynamic Alliance

Production planning and scheduling (PPS) in dynamic alliance is a complicated and difficult task, as it has to be optimal and collaborative both for the individual enterprise and for the whole dynamic alliance network. To acquire quicker response of production process in dynamic alliance environment, new requirements of PPS are analyzed, and the corresponding collaborative PPS model is established. Moreover, the enabling technologies such as the information exchange, coordination and conflict resolution mechanism and PPS optimization algorithm are discussed. The objective of this paper is to find a satisfactory solution and techniques for the optimization and collaboration of PPS system.
