Globalisation has forced companies to work together in a new arrangement known as virtual enterprise. An Australian initiative called RELINK aims to demonstrate the methodologies and systems, that will enable small firms in the tooling and automotive industry to participate with medium and large firms in turnkey projects as part of a broader supply chain. The initiative draws on this body of knowledge in conjunction with research and university partners and concentrates on the practicality of the formation of virtual enterprises in the tooling and automotive industries competing with larger toolmaking companies globally. This paper explores a 5 layer open communication framework for virtual enterprise to establish a continuity of functionality in the communication process that enables B2B operations within a virtual enterprise with varying levels of communication capabilities. The framework identifies options for bridging gaps in communication functionality between the desired application level and the varying situations of the participants. |
