Abstract
Existing communication structures between supplier and manufacturer concentrate on the exchange of information between PPC-systems, or the call off of goods from the suppliers. As PPC-systems are far too slow to react on sudden failures or bottlenecks, a strong influence on the reduction of stocks and the lead time of orders is hardly possible. An efficient concurrent planning and control of the whole logistic chain thus has to be done on the short term tactical level. System Supplier Leitstands take over these tasks. They contain, besides the typical functions for intra-organisational planning, control and monitoring components, that support the inter-organisational optimization. The single elements of the logistic chain are being defined as autonomous control areas. The short term planning and control of each area is being taken over by System Supplier Leitstands. The communication between the Leitstands of different enterprises is being handled by a network. An interface that contai ns functions related to the transmission, preparation and analysis of messages is being placed between the Leitstand and the network.
