Abstract
The market-based approach to manufacturing supply network
planning focuses on the competitive attitudes of various enterprises in the
network to generate plans that seek to maximize the throughput of the network.
It is this competitive behaviour of the member units that we explore in
proposing a solution model for a supplier selection problem in convergent
manufacturing supply networks. We present a formulation of autonomous units
of the network as trading agents in a virtual enterprise network interacting to
deliver value to market consumers and discuss the effect of internal and
external trading parameters on the selection of suppliers by enterprise units.
