The paper studies the management of contracts in virtual project supply chains. The problems and challenges occurring as well as the business practices and typical project structures in a networked environment are discussed. The concentration is on large, complex, one-of-a-kind projects and the case companies are from the field of power plants. The paper also introduces means to support the contract management of virtual project organitlltions by using the strategic information system called Simo-3.
In this paper a new approach to the modelling of a supply chain is presented. The chain is modelled with dynamic elements representing the different parts of the chain. Matlab based simulation tools are used to find different stock and transportation management principles. A link to the economical evaluation of such schemes is presented. A scheme is derived for the management of the whole supply chain from forests to users of sawn timber products is to facilitate the long term development of the supply chain management and the necessary information and communication management tools.
The goal of the paper is to fmd modem means of information technology to support project oriented and networked companies in their supply chain management. Simo-2, a software for distributed business modelling and simulation, is introduced and the advantages gained by using it in preliminary project planning and management are described.
