The Schedule Control in the Enterprise Cooperative Innovation Based on Multi-agent

Abstract

This paper presents the enterprise cooperative innovation schedule control structure, which is a highly agile and autonomous control paradigm based on multi-agent consisting of multiple intelligent units called "agent". It can both guarantee the quick circulation and exchange of control information, and provide the efficient control and negotiation mechanism. Enterprise cooperative innovation (ECI) is the temporary action of distributed, autonomous and cooperative member enterprises (MEs) that have the typical features of "agent". Based on the characteristics analysis of ECI control structure, this paper discusses the structure function and the schedule control information transferring process of it and proposes the basis supporting platforms of implementing project schedule control in ECI. The disturbance factors of influencing project schedule and its control strategies are then discussed. To eliminate the schedule deviation caused by member enterprises exiting, the negotiation model of seeking a substitute enterprise is presented and validated by using a simple example.
