The manufacturing industry is facing the challenges of shifting its
operations from the traditional factory integration philosophy to a
supply chain based e-factory philosophy, and of transforming the
focus of companies from the local factory to global enterprise and
business. Innovative Tools for Business Coalitions in B2B
Applications presents a set of innovative methodologies that can be
used to face all the issues that stem from the interaction of
customers and suppliers in an e-marketplace environment. The first
methodology discussed is multi-agent architecture and this forms
the basis of a simulation environment developed in order to test
the proposed models. The second concerns a bargaining model based
on the negotiation mechanism and the third centers on production
planning to support agents during the bargaining phase. The fourth
is the possibility of a coalition between the suppliers and the
authors offer a choice of two different approaches. One is the
application of Nash equilibrium to select the members of a
potential coalition of sellers, while the other is a centralized
approach with a profit sharing mechanism based on the Shapley
value. All the innovative approaches reported in Innovative Tools
for Business Coalitions in B2B Applications have been statistically
tested in different market conditions. The methodologies,
approaches and results presented in Innovative Tools for Business
Coalitions in B2B Applications will be of interest to PhD students,
operations managers and supply chain management researchers who
develop value-added services for an e-marketplace in a
business-to-business environment.
The authors address production planning problems in distributed
manufacturing networks from strategic, tactical organisational and
operative perspectives. New methodologies for capacity negotiation,
allocation and workload assignment in production networks are
presented.

No other book has been published giving a single-volume
introduction and survey to production planning in distributed
manufacturing networks. The published literature so far includes
conference proceedings only.
