Abstract
We propose models that focus on the improvement of flexibility in manufacturing supply
networks by enabling a tighter information coupling between the various planning levels without
tampering with the autonomy of enterprises which are geographically distributed. The problem is
approached from the perspective of social network planning using a community of agents. These agents
have unique properties which they exhibit at different planning levels. Characterization of agents in the
models is discussed.
