Flow Synchronization in Supply Network, using Holonic, Isoarchic and Multicriteria Control

Abstract An improved model for an isoarchic control system of supply network is presented. New criteria in the multicriteria AHP decision model, for supply network isoarchic control, are proposed. The objective is to develop isoarchic control in generalized supply chain system, based on a set of companies combined in a partnership network and interacting through set of entities that offer web services, by taking into account the flow synchronization aspect. After presenting the PROSIS model (Product, Resource, Order & Simulation Isoarchic system), the multicriteria method (AHP: Analytic Hierarchy Process) is described with some expansions of the multicriteria model applied to the flow synchronization in an isoarchic control.
