Extra-enterprise production planning in ExPlanTech system

The work presented in this paper reports on extending the intra-enterprise multi-agent production planning to the extra-enterprise level. By reusing and extending the classical multi-agent production planning infrastructure the extra-enterprise technology helps to organise external business relations of an enterprise and optimize their supply chains. It is obvious that small and medium enterprises that operate in project-driven manufacturing, need to share their available resources in the most optimal way.
