Abstract (EN): The purpose of this paper is to present a new view on the problem of capacity planning in a distributed network of enterprises, i.e. in a Virtual Enterprise (VE). This view is based on a distributed planning architecture, that takes into account the requirements and characteristics of local capacity models. In order to cope with the new emerging problems that the VE are encountering, we have been designing and investigating two generic architectures of Decision Support Systems (DSS) for VE planning with capacity checking, applicable to different scenarios of distributed networks of enterprises. The first architecture is hierarchical and is based on the existence of a global decision-maker. The second one is fully distributed and is based in a multi-agent co-operative environment. This work is part of a broader project with a particular focus on the semiconductor industry.
