“…The main part of this literature study consisted out of literature on how to evaluate companies, e.g. Dindeleux et al (1998); Beamon (1999); Veleva et al (2001); Petroni and Panciroli (2002); Braam and Nijssen (2004); Camarinha‐Matos and Afsarmanesh (2007); and Wang and Che (2007). Out of this literature study, it became clear that although financial indicators such as “Financial stability” are the conventional proxies of competitiveness, several non‐financial performance indicators are also important and often neglected.…”

PurposeA literature review, confirmed by in‐depth interviews in industry, indicated a high level of reluctance to implement horizontal collaboration in business. One of the main reasons is the lack of a strategic decision support framework for the implementation of horizontal collaboration. An appropriate feasibility or fitness test could be helpful here. Two companies strategically ready to work together should first test whether any insurmountable practices (e.g. difference in culture) inhibit the collaboration. If such practices are present, the collaborative initiative will probably be a waste of time and effort. This paper therefore aims to present a method to check the strategic fit.Design/methodology/approachBy means of a general literature study, 300 performance indicators were collected. In a next step, they were reduced to 58 key elements by means of a focused literature study on partnerships and eight in‐depth case studies in Belgian industry. Metrics have been assigned to each of these elements using the Supply Chain Operation Reference Model (SCOR). The elements are then combined into sub‐criteria and criteria. Furthermore, the elements (both qualitative and quantitative) have been integrated through a multi‐criteria decision‐making method, namely analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Three different alternatives are considered: no‐collaboration, informal collaboration, or partnership. By means of pairwise comparison of all criteria, sub‐criteria and elements, an indication of the preferred form of collaboration is obtained and an improvement analysis per element can be performed.FindingsThe paper suggests and tests a method for evaluating the strategic fit, incorporating key performance indicators.Research limitations/implicationsThe research assumes integrity of all partners.Practical implicationsThis paper presents a straightforward tool that demonstrates how to measure the strategic fit of inventory pooling in a horizontal collaboration between different organizations.Originality/valueThe paper provides valuable information on measuring the strategic fit in horizontal collaboration initiatives.

“…The Laboratory of Software for Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (LSCIM) developed an interface organizing the exchanges of information and synchronizations of activities called PROPILOT [14]. Firstly the simulation made it possible to reproduce the operation of the undercutting company, then to apply the models of piloting in order to estimate their effectiveness.…”

“…The tests were carried out starting from an industrial data file, received from Pernat Company, supplier for RIV. The Laboratory of Software for Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (LSCIM) developed an interface organizing the exchanges of information and synchronizations of activities called PROPILOT [14]. The other software necessary to the integration of manufacturing (data exchange, management of the technical data, management and administration of the sales, calculation of the needs, planning, launching, control and followed production) was chosen by all the partners of the SPACS Project, among standard software available on the market (WITNESS, SMECI, …).…”

In this paper a new Product Model (PM) for production is presented. An agent able to negotiate the operations that the product must undergo on the stations in manufacturing is attached to it. That agent has all the necessary information concerning its manufacturing range, the environment of production, the objectives, and the constraints and rules of production. The PM was introduced into a common experimental platform developed by the partners of the "Synchronous Production Amongst Clients and Subcontractors" (SPACS) Project. The latter integrates all the elements necessary for the management of the production in interaction with the Electronic Data Interchanges (EDI) amongst clients and subcontractors. A new approach for manufacturing systems' control, allowing increased reactivity and flexibility, is also proposed. It is based on a social approach with a totally decentralized architecture. The manufacturing system (MS) is made up of a set of autonomous and intelligent agents as in a society. The product is considered as an actor who takes part in the decisions. The products are likened to customers and the resources to service providers.
