Production scheduling is a rather difficult problem in virtual enterprises (VE) for the tasks of production which would be executed by some distributed and independent members. Factors such as the timing constraints of task and ability restrictions of the members are considered comprehensibly to solve the global scheduling optimization problem. This paper establishes a partner selection model based on an improved ant colony algorithm at first, then presents a production scheduling framework with two layers as global scheduling and local scheduling for virtual enterprise, and gives a global scheduling mathematical model with the smallest total production time based on it. An improved genetic algorithm is proposed in the model to solve the time complexity of virtual enterprise production scheduling. The presented experimental results validate the optimization of the model and the efficiency of the algorithm.

Rapid changes of today's global business environment demands for designing an advanced information management system as essential to share valuable knowledge and expertise among collaborative factories. With such perspective, a strategy for processbased Virtual Factory Information System (VFIS) design is proposed in this research. This strategy provides not only a method but also a concrete tool for SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) to realized the VFs integration. The VFIS design optimizes VFs manufacturing processes and ensures faster response to changing customers' demands. It will also support tight integration with external systems and contributes to visualize the virtual factory management systems. In this paper, new Virtual Factory Lifecycle and its Architectural Framework are also illustrated.

“…Understanding the interrelationships and interdependencies between business processes, information, and supporting technologies within the enterprises is very important. The effective use of enterprise systems can provide timely information and faster decision-making abilities that result in increased flexibility, agility and adaptability (De Leeuw and Volberda 1996, Fiksel 2006b, Helaakoski et al 2007, Haimes et al 2008.…”

Considering that SMEs need to embrace the drivers of resilience and that a well-defined and readily available Enterprise Architecture (EA) supports enterprise integration by enabling the common view of business processes, data and systems across the enterprise and its partners, we can say that EA is one of the tracks making resilience predictable and it should support and collaborate with other resilience tracks. However, the EA frameworks do not give relevance to the activities that contribute most to business resilience, so this paper aims to clarify the dimensions and the activities related to the development of an EA and the touching points with other enterprise wide processes in order to guarantee that resilience requirements are met in SMEs. For this I propose an approach of ecological adaptation, and four architectures: business, organizational, information, and technological, although this paper only presents the Business and Organizational Architectures.
