SME networks management
P. FENIES, S. LAGRANGE and N. LEBRUMENT
(CRCGM, EA 3848, Auvergne University, France)
During the last years, the attention on Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) networks has been continuously increased. Especially in the production business, SME more and more organize SME networks in order to extend their production capabilities. While a lot of potentials have been tapped by sharing production resources and knowledge, or by collaborative purchasing, the current achievements should not deceive the idle lying potentials within SME networks.
But… conflict exists over how supply chain management (SCM) affects small- and medium-sized enterprises. On one hand, SCM can provide quality, cost, customer service, leverage and even risk reduction benefits for the SME. On the other hand, SCM exposes the SME to greater management and control hazards while reducing its private differentiation advantages.
The special session will provide a forum to exchange novel ideas and disseminate knowledge covering the broad area of evaluation, selection, planning scheduling and control of SME’s network.
Experts and professionals from academia, industry and the public sector are invited to submit papers on their recent research and professional experience on the subject.
